New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson said he has hit some GPS numbers that he has never reached before, saying it's a "night-and-day" difference between now and where he was at this point last year while rehabbing an ACL that he suffered in his rookie season in 2022. After playing in only six games in 2022 after he was a second-round pick, Robinson had 60 receptions on 78 targets for 525 yards and one touchdown in 15 games (eight starts) in a terrible Giants offense last year. The 23-year-old should be even better physically another year removed from his ACL injury, but it's still fair to wonder how much he'll be involved in 2024 after New York added Malik Nabers in the first round of this year's draft. In 12-team fantasy leagues, Robinson will likely be left to the waiver wire while he competes for targets with Nabers, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt.
Most of the beat writers for the New York Giants would be surprised if first-round rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers isn't the team's most targeted player right away in 2024, but Wan'Dale Robinson should give him a good race. A fully healthy Robinson should push for the team lead in targets, but it's obvious that Nabers, the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, has much more fantasy upside, both in the short and long term. The Giants are going to need playmakers like Nabers and Robinson to step now that running back Saquon Barkley is no longer in town. The 23-year-old Robinson, who was a second-rounder in 2022, suffered an ACL tear in his rookie year before catching 60 of 78 targets for 525 yards and a touchdown in 15 games (eight starts) last year. There's potential for a Robinson to take a big step forward in 2024, but it will also depend on quarterback Daniel Jones' (knee) health.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quadriceps) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams despite being listed as questionable. He appeared in all three practices this week, but his involvement was limited on Wednesday and Friday. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old will suit up after commanding 23 targets over his last four games. He looks to maintain a solid workload with Tyrod Taylor under center against a Rams defense surrendering 12 catches and 167 yards per game to opposing wide receiver rooms. Robinson ranks as a WR4 in fantasy leagues this week.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Robinson began the week as a limited participant in practice. He was upgraded to full on Thursday, but then returned to being a limited participant on Friday. Possibly, Robinson re-aggravated his quad during practice. It sounds like the team is going to wait and see how Robinson progresses throughout the weekend. Regardless, Robinson shouldn't be treated as anything more than a WR5.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quadriceps) was on the field for a full practice on Thursday after being listed as limited during the team's walkthrough on Wednesday. Robinson should continue to serve as New York's starting slot receiver for a Week 17 tilt against the Los Angeles Rams, but it's a role that hasn't led to consistent production for fantasy managers in a low-scoring Giants offense. The 22-year-old second-year wideout has only 49 catches on the season for 385 yards and one touchdown on 63 targets. Robinson could have a higher ceiling with quarterback Tyrod Taylor making the start this weekend, but fantasy managers competing for a trophy this week would be wise to avoid him in starting lineups. Robinson has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game only twice in 13 contests.
Wan'Dale Robinson Limited By Quad Injury On Wednesday
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) is listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to a quad injury. The second-year pro has been on the injury report often this year, but he has yet to miss a game since making his season debut in Week 3. Whether Robinson plays or not, he is not on the fantasy radar based on his body of work this season. The 2022 second-round pick has only posted double-digit half-PPR fantasy points in three games this year, and he's on pace for fewer than 500 receiving yards in 2023. If he doesn't play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Sterling Shepard and Parris Campbell are candidates to see more snaps.
Wan'Dale Robinson Posts Mediocre Stat Line Against New England
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson secured four of his five targets for 26 yards in the team's 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots. All those marks were second-best for New York, behind rookie Jalin Hyatt. For the second time all season, Robinson's snap percentage topped 75 percent, but the production didn't reflect that. Quarterback Tommy Devito completed 17 passes on the afternoon for 191 yards, capping the ceiling for the majority of the receiving corps. Robinson remains nothing more than a desperation PPR option for fantasy football managers this season, and should only be rostered in dynasty formats moving forward.
New York Giants wide receivers Jalin Hyatt (concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) were both limited in the team's practice on Thursday. Hyatt's participation carries more weight after he didn't practice on Wednesday following a concussion he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Still, the 22-year-old's return to practice on Thursday doesn't guarantee he'll ultimately be cleared from the league's concussion protocol and play this Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Robinson continues to have his repetitions managed in practices following a torn ACL he suffered in 2022. Neither receiver will be a recommended flex play if they are both active with rookie quarterback Tommy Devito running the offense.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Robinson has been a regular visitor to the injury report since playing in his first game of the season back in Week 3. The Giants have been taking it easy on Robinson after he tore his ACL last season but thus far it hasn't prevented him from playing. Robinson's ability to practice on Thursday and Friday will be worth keeping an eye on throughout the week but he's likely to take the field this weekend. More concerning than the knee is the fact that the Giants will have Tommy Devito under center this weekend, DeVito has thrown for just 261 yards and three touchdowns over his past two games. Robinson has not done much with DeVito under center, with just six total catches for 41 yards over the past two contests.
Wan'Dale Robinson Not Worth A Roster Spot Heading Into Week 10
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 9. Repeating that accomplishment in Week 10 will be a tough order. Undrafted rookie Tommy Devito will get the first start of his NFL career and it will come against the Dallas Cowboys, one of the best defenses in the league. The unit allows the sixth-fewest passing yards per game. There aren't any receivers on the Giants worth rostering in redraft leagues and it will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future. Robinson is all the way down in the WR5 range in the rankings for Week 10.
