Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Posts minimal production Week 9
Wan'Dale Robinson caught three of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to Washington.Fantasy managers have grown accustomed to Robinson posting uninspiring yardage totals, but he had been a steady PPR performer in the early part of the campaign with at least eight targets and six catches in five of his first seven games. However, the 2022 second-round draft pick has gotten less attention from QB Daniel Jones over the past two weeks, drawing just five targets against the Steelers in Week 8 followed by Sunday's four targets (which tied a season-low mark) against the Commanders. Robinson's decrease in targets has coincided with rookie tight end Theo Johnson seeing 10 targets over the past two weeks, which may be a sign that Jones is looking to distribute targets move evenly when he's not throwing to top wideout Malik Nabers. If that's the case, Robinson's fantasy outlook will take a hit given his reliance on volume over big plays.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Fills usual short-area role
Wan'Dale Robinson secured all five targets for 30 yards in the New York Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.Robinson finished second in receptions on the night for the Giants, but that led to modest yardage in the receiver's typical short-area role. Robinson has at least five receptions in six straight games, but the fact he's exceeded 50 receiving yards just twice in that span underscores his fantasy viability is largely limited to full-PPR formats.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Many targets yield minor production
Wan'Dale Robinson reeled in six of nine targets for 23 yards Sunday in a Week 7 loss to the Eagles.Even with rookie Malik Nabers back from a two-week absence due to a concussion, Robinson continued to be peppered with plenty of looks from QB Daniel Jones, as he led the team in targets. However, Robinson's receptions resulted in just 23 yards, with his long gain of the day going for just six yards. The third-year wideout has been almost exclusively a short-field option for the New York Giants this season, as he's averaging just 7.0 yards per reception and has just one catch of 20-plus yards. Robinson has at least eight targets and five catches in six of his seven contests this season, giving him a relatively safe floor in PPR formats, though he's much less of an asset in non-PPR given that he's been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards five times on the campaign.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Full practice Thursday
Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Meanwhile, rookie WR Malik Nabers reached the final phase of the concussion protocol Thursday and also was a full participant, and Darius Slayton (groin) remained limited for a second day in a row. Robinson thus appears poised to welcome back Nabers for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, while Slayton's status is more up in the air. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will give a sense of who may be Robinson's competition for targets from QB Daniel Jones this weekend.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Limited with ankle injury
Wan'Dale Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Fellow receivers Malik Nabers (concussion) and Darius Slayton (groin) also were limited participants. Slayton drew 11 targets in consecutive games with Nabers absent for both contests, while Robinson's role essentially stayed the same. All three wideouts could be available Sunday against the Eagles, depending on the extent that Nabors, Slayton and Robinson are able to practice Thursday and Friday.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Turns 11 targets into 50 yards
Wan'Dale Robinson finished with five receptions (11 targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.Robinson tied teammate Darius Slayton for the team lead in targets (11) while Malik Nabers (concussion) remained sidelined for the second consecutive game. The 23-year-old Robinson couldn't replicate his trip to the end zone from last week's depth chart promotion, but he still produced decent numbers considering the New York Giants were held to just seven points at home. The 11 targets marked the third time in six games this season that Robinson has hit double-digit targets. Despite his unpredictable workload, Robinson is providing fantasy value for those in deeper formats off of volume alone heading into a Week 7 matchup against Philadelphia.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Similar usage in Nabers' absence
Wan'Dale Robinson caught six of nine targets for 36 yards and a touchdown while adding a four-yard rush in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.Robinson tied the game at a touchdown apiece with a seven-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the fourth consecutive game with more than 60 receiving yards or a touchdown for Robinson, who has carved out a significant role in the New York Giants' offense out of the slot. Robinson's role wasn't significantly affected by the absence of sensational rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion), but Darius Slayton turned into the team's top pass catcher with eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Robinson's Week 6 outlook against the Bengals is unlikely to be affected significantly by Nabers' availability or lack thereof.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Set to operate as No. 1 wideout
Wan'Dale Robinson is in line to serve as the New York Giants' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks with Malik Nabers (concussion) inactive for the contest, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site.Robinson has already seen volume befitting the title of the alpha pass catcher of the offense, logging 38 targets through the first four games of the season. The third-year pro has just an average depth of target of 4.6 yards, however, so while he projects for another extremely busy afternoon, veteran Darius Slayton and speedy second-year man Jalin Hyatt are likely to share the downfield routes Nabers' absence opens up.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Clear for Week 5
Wan'Dale Robinson (heel) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Robinson logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday due to a heel injury, but the issue won't stop him from being out there Week 5, when he likely will be the Giants' top pass catcher with WR Malik Nabers (concussion) sidelined and RB Devin Singletary (groin) doubtful to play. Through four contests this season, Robinson is second on the team in targets with 38, which he's parlayed into a 26-194-1 line.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Remains limited Thursday
Wan'Dale Robinson (heel) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Robinson now has opened Week 5 prep with back-to-back capped sessions, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full participation before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle. Meanwhile, fellow WR Malik Nabers (concussion) seems to be trending in the wrong direction with no practice reps to speak of so far this week, so if Robinson is available Sunday, he likely would serve as the top pass catcher available to QB Daniel Jones. Through four contests on the campaign, Robinson has hauled in 26 of 38 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown.
