| 0:00.0 | We saw some breakout performances from the Bengals and Jaguars on Thursday night. |
| 0:07.7 | Let's talk about it now on Fantasy Football Today in Five. |
| 0:14.1 | Welcome to Fantasy Football Today in Five. I'm Chris Towers handling solo duties tonight, |
| 0:17.9 | and I'm here to recap Thursday night football, and I'm looking at some tough start sick calls for week four. |
| 0:23.4 | We'll start with three big questions from the Bengals 24 to 21 win |
| 0:26.7 | over the Jaguars Thursday night. |
| 0:29.2 | First up, is James Robinson a must start running back again |
| 0:33.1 | after topping 20 ppr points in consecutive games? |
| 0:36.3 | I think he is and I thought he was before this game. |
| 0:40.2 | He was included in my list of the 16 running backs who I trust at this point in the season. |
| 0:46.9 | He was 16th. |
| 0:48.0 | So, you know, it wasn't entirely in the circle of trust. |
| 0:51.1 | But 78 yards on 18 carries today, two touchdowns. Obviously, he benefited |
| 0:56.1 | a little bit from Carlos Hyde not being there, but this has been where things have been trending |
| 1:00.8 | over the last couple of weeks. Hyde had that big role in week one that was very worrisome. But ever |
| 1:05.7 | since then, it's mostly been Robinson as the lead back and Hyde just as a peripheral piece. So I think that's going to |
| 1:12.1 | continue. And yeah, he only had two targets Thursday night. But Trevor Lawrence only through 24 times. |
| 1:17.1 | So I think that's actually not that big of a deal for Robinson. Second question on the other side. |
| 1:23.7 | Is it time to panic about Joe Mixon? Admittedly, I'm panicking. |
| 1:28.9 | I had him as a top six running back coming into the season, |
| 1:31.6 | and a big part of that was because I expected the passing game role |
| 1:35.1 | to increase with Giovanni Bernard moving on to Tampa Bay. |
