Allen Robinson II Fantasy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II officially accepted his franchise tag on Thursday, locking in his $18 million salary for the 2021 season, according to a source. Robinson will have a new starting quarterback entering the 2021 season in Andy Dalton. It's not much to look at, but it could actually be an improvement over the combination of Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky last season. A-Rob has three 1,000-yard receiving campaigns in his career, including in each of the last two seasons with highly questionable QB play. The 27-year-old had a career-high 102 receptions on 151 targets for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns in 2020. Even though Dalton leaves a lot to be desired, Robinson will remain a pretty reliable low-end WR1 heading into fantasy drafts this fall.

The Chicago Bears have placed the franchise tag on wide receiver Allen Robinson. While there's no guarantee Robinson signs the tag and is in camp to start the season, the logical conclusion of this is that Robinson will be in a Bears uniform in 2021. The team will try to work out a long-term deal with Robinson by the July deadline, but him signing that could depend on how the quarterback position shakes out in Chicago. Robinson has WR1 talent, but it's hard to predict what he'll do in 2021 because there's so much uncertainty in Chicago.

The Chicago Bears and impending free-agent wide receiver Allen Robinson II haven't had talks about a contract extension since last September, which means that the franchise tag will likely be in play for the 2021 season. A-Rob has topped the 1,000-yard mark in each of the last two seasons in Chicago and has scored 13 touchdowns despite shoddy quarterback play. He had 1,250 of the team's 3,925 total passing yards last season, more than 31 percent. The 27-year-old said last week that he's "open to everything on the table," with the franchise-tag window opening on Feb. 23 and running through March 9. If Robinson is tagged, he's expected to earn between $16-17 million in 2021. With Chicago's situation under center still less-than-ideal, Robinson's fantasy stock would rise if he left Chicago for a better situation, but he'll remain a low-end WR1 if he sticks with the Bears.
