2024 Fantasy Outlook
Robinson spent most of the 2023 campaign on Green Bay's practice squad before joining up with New Orleans in mid-December. He never appeared in a game for the Saints, but the team brought him back for running back depth this offseason. After breaking out for a 1,070 yards as a rookie in 2021, Robinson will likely have to start out the regular season on the practice squad with the hopes of working his way onto the Saints' roster as a second or third-stringer later on in the year.

Caught up in roster cuts
The Saints cut Robinson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson, who played only one game in 2023 and 11 contests in 2022, couldn't carve out a reserve role for himself behind Alvin Kamara in New Orleans' backfield despite Kendre Miller (hamstring) missing most of training camp and Jamaal Williams having been notably unproductive last season. Since suffering an Achilles tear back in 2021, Robinson has bounced between multiple organizations in the league. He'll look to earn another practice squad opportunity for the 2024 campaign, whether with the Saints or a new club.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Robinson had 263 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns in the first three games last year, which made for a triumphant return from the Achilles' tear he suffered Week 16 of 2021. But perhaps he returned a little too soon. After starting fast, Robinson produced just 113 yards over a four-week stretch before the Jaguars traded him to the Jets for a fifth-round pick. Robinson promptly appeared on the injury report with a knee injury after one week with the team, then suddenly seemed unable to run, producing just 90 yards and a score on 31 touches in four active games with the Jets while being inactive for six games. In March, the Patriots signed him to a two-year contract, but only $150,000 was guaranteed and they later released him in June. While he should get another chance elsewhere, it's not a great sign that the Patriots cut ties after seeing him practice for a couple weeks this spring.

Gets look from Green Bay
Robinson worked out for the Packers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green Bay's lack of reliable depth in the backfield behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon got exposed while Jones was hurt in Weeks 2 and 3, so Robinson may not be the only free-agent running back the team brings in for a look. The 25-year-old played 11 games last season split between the Jaguars and Jets, scoring three touchdowns and averaging 3.9 yards per carry.
