Allen Robinson II Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II has had a slow start to 2021, and, unfortunately for his managers, that doesn't look like it will change Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards per game in 2021, and, in the three games of 2022 so far, they are allowing the fewest. Robinson made just two catches last week against the Cardinals, finishing as the WR78. The only game he barely cracked the top 24 WRs was against the paper-strength Falcons defense Week 2. Robinson is unlikely to finish as a WR2 or WR3 this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II was targeted five times and caught two passes for 23 yards. The 29-year-old has been held under 25 yards in two of his first three games as a Ram. After three weeks, he ranks as the No. 4 receiving option on the team, behind Ben Skowronek. While it may take time for a new WR to mesh with a new offense, A-Rob has now had 12 targets in three weeks and has only caught 7 of them and never gained more than 53 yards in a game. Fantasy managers hoping for a return to the 2019 and 2020 Robinson may end up disappointed.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II faces the Arizona Cardinals Week 3 for the first time since 2018. The game is expected to be a shootout with high passing volume. However, Robinson might face a tough cornerback matchup in Brian Murphy. Murphy and the Cardinals held Raiders top outside WR Davante Adams to just two catches for 12 yards, while Murphy shadowed him mostly on the outside. Because of the possibility that Murphy shadows the outside WR1 again, ESPN's Mike Clay suggests, "Consider downgrading Robinson slightly." The Rams present a much different scenario than the Rams, however, as their top WR is their slot WR, and Murphy did cover the slot in previous seasons. It's tough to predict what coverage strategy a defense will play from week to week. Overall, the prospect for mass passing volume is too good to bench A-Rob this week.
