Robinson

Same as it ever was, even with Tommy DeVito under center. Lacking any ceiling whatsoever, Robinson has been struggling to get his floor out of the Pop Douglas range of late. The Cowboys are a good short-week matchup for Week 13 on Thanksgiving, but with all 32 teams active, you really need to do better in your WR4 spot.

Robinson led the Giants in receiving yards while finishing second in catches and targets. Per usual, Malik Nabers led the way in those categories. Robinson’s role as the PPR scam of the team could be in jeopardy with Daniel Jones potentially getting benched after the team’s Week 11 bye. Drew Lock, who is more than willing to push the ball downfield, would get the start if Jones is sent packing. Robinson, in turn, would be stuck in the WR4 ranks versus the Bucs.

Robinson’s biggest play of the game was the one that wasn’t. Facing a fourth and one from the Commanders’ five-yard line, Robinson caught a short touchdown that was immediately overturned by an illegal pick set by Darius Slayton. The overturned score resulted in a pedestrian offensive outing for Robinson, who set a new season low in receiving yards on the day. Robinson has PPR scammed his way to some respectable fantasy weeks, but that was not the case this week. He’ll look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Panthers.

Robinson finished third on the team in targets and fourth on the team in yards as Daniel Jones directed 20 of his 34 pass attempts towards the top duo of Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. The only fantasy consideration that should be given to Robinson is in deep PPR leagues considering his low aDOT role in a poor offense.

Robinson led the Giants with nine targets, but was one of several position players who struggled to get anything going in a game where the offense totaled just 119 yards. Robinson and rookie Malik Nabers continue to be the primary pass-catchers in this offense. Robinson will be a fringe WR2/WR3 in a tough Week 8 matchup against the Steelers.

Robinson has racked up 20 targets over the past two weeks with Malik Nabers sidelined. Nabers is back for Week 7, cutting Robinson’s target projection considerably. He will fall into the WR4 ranks in PPR leagues for his matchup with the Eagles.

The ankle injury is new for Robinson, though a limited practice to start the week is standard fare after a month of football. Robinson didn’t appear to be limited by the ankle issue last week, totaling five grabs and 50 yards on 11 targets. With Malik Nabers expected to return for Week 7, Robinson’s PPR scamming days may be coming to an end. He will rank as a low-ceiling WR4 versus the Eagles.

In typical Wan’Dale fashion, 11 targets led to just 50 receiving yards in a low-aDOT role over the middle of the field. The Giants struggled mightily to move the football again in this one and have now failed to score more than 15 points in any of their three home games this season. That is not a trend to instill confidence with the Eagles on deck in Week 7.

Nabers suffered the concussion in Week 4’s Thursday Night Football game against the Cowboys and was unable to play against the Seahawks in Week 5. Nabers’ inability to practice to begin the week is worrying, given his extra time off. Giants slot receiver Wan’Dale Robinson would be a near-lock to lead the team in targets if Nabers is unable to suit up in Week 6.

Robinson continues to be an effective fantasy receiver for PPR leagues, gobbling up another nine targets with Malik Nabers out. He was still second on the team in targets, with Darius Slayton leading the way. Robinson’s high target numbers again convey into low yardage from slants and screens as he totaled 36 yards and a touchdown on the day, adding one carry for four yards. Heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Bengals, Robinson is a PPR-favorite and profiles as a fantasy WR3.
