Saints' Craig Robertson: Modest production in playoff victory
Craig Robertson made five tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-26 NFC wild-card win over the Panthers.Robertson played 66 of the New Orleans Saints' 74 defensive snaps against Carolina, and he added 12 more on special teams. However, despite the heavy playing time, he was quiet most of the afternoon. After logging a career-best 115 total tackles last year, Robertson has been much less productive in his second season in New Orleans, posting a mere 80 total tackles this year. Still, Robertson remains one of the Saints' starting linebackers and should be at least a decent IDP option in playoff fantasy leagues for next week's divisional-round matchup.
