Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Four grabs in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Robinson caught four of 11 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Saints.
The slot receiver led the Giants in targets but did little with the volume, finishing third on the team in receiving yards and fourth in catches. Robinson has caught multiple passes in every game this season, but he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 5 and hasn't topped 60 yards since Week 4. He'll try to do more with his opportunities in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Season-low yardage total Week 13
Rotowire
Robinson caught both of his targets for six yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
Robinson's two targets and six yards were both season-low marks in New York's first game with Drew Lock as the starting quarterback. None of the team's wideouts aside from Malik Nabers (8-69-0 line on 13 targets) was able to bring in more than two receptions or tally more than eight yards in the defeat, so Robinson's poor output wasn't a matter of being surpassed on the depth chart. Robinson will look to get back on track Week 14 against the Saints, though it's not yet clear whether Lock or Tommy DeVito (forearm) will start at quarterback in that game.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Five catches in loss
Rotowire
Robinson secured all five targets for 47 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Robinson worked in his usual short-area role and finished second in receptions and receiving yards to Malik Nabers. Robinson got experience working with new starter Tommy DeVito last season, so it's not surprising the third-year wideout put together a solid performance in the first game of the latter's current starting stint. Robinson should remain a prime target during Thursday's Thanksgiving Day road showdown against the Cowboys.
I said we don't want to start any Giants wide receivers besides Malik Nabers. We don't, but with six teams on a bye, you may not have a choice. Robinson has a great matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has given up 36.1 PPR FPPG to opposing receivers. I don't like the quarterback change, but Tommy DeVito only averaged 6.5 intended air yards per attempt in 2023, which is exactly the part of the field Robinson works in.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Tallies 51 yards
Rotowire
Robinson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Robinson was a key part of the Giants' offense, commanding at least eight targets for the seventh time this season. The difference in Sunday's performance was his ability to make some big plays, as his 23-yard catch and run early in the fourth quarter was only his second reception of at least 20 yards on the campaign. Robinson should remain involved moving forward, though his upside will be limited due to his role in one of the least explosive offenses in the league.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Posts minimal production Week 9
Rotowire
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: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Robinson has 50 receiving yards or less in three games in a row and has scored 10 PPR points or less in each outing. The volume is there with 25 targets over that span for 16 catches, but he's doing nothing down the field or scoring touchdowns, which makes him difficult to start, even in PPR. Now, he did score a touchdown against Washington in Week 2, but he only had two catches for 18 yards on four targets. Hopefully he can snap out of his recent slump, but I'm nervous to trust Robinson in this matchup with the Commanders.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Fills usual short-area role
Rotowire
Robinson secured all five targets for 30 yards in the 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
Rotowire
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 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
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Dan Salomone of the 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
Rotowire
Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the 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
Rotowire
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 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: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Malik Nabers (concussion) is out for Week 6 against the Bengals, and I would start Robinson as a No. 2 receiver in all leagues. Robinson has scored at least 13.1 PPR points in three weeks in a row. He continues to be a go-to option for Daniel Jones, and Robinson has four games with at least eight targets. And with Nabers out, I like Darious Slayton as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver as well. Slayton just replaced Nabers at Seattle in Week 5 and had eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Slayton has now scored a touchdown in four games in a row without Nabers on the field going back to the end of 2023. The Bengals have allowed a pair of receivers to score at least 15.8 PPR points in each of the past two games against Carolina and Baltimore.
Robinson was my top WR add last week, but he's still available in more than a third of leagues. He has at least eight targets in four of his five outings and at least 13 PPR Fantasy points in each of his last three games. He's a must-start top-20 guy if Malik Nabers remains sidelined and a borderline WR2 if Nabers is back.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Giants have two receivers worth adding in Robinson and Darius Slayton (9 percent rostered) but for different reasons. Robinson, as we've been saying for weeks, should be added to all leagues, and he scored at least 13.1 PPR points in three weeks in a row. He continues to be a go-to option for Daniel Jones, and Robinson has four games with at least eight targets. Slayton just replaced Malik Nabers (concussion) in Week 5 at Seattle and had eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Slayton has now scored a touchdown in four games in a row without Nabers on the field going back to the end of 2023. Since Nabers can return in Week 6 against Cincinnati, it's risky to go all in on Slayton, but he should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB. Robinson, where available, should be added for at least 15 percent of your remaining FAB.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Similar usage in Nabers' absence
Rotowire
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 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
Rotowire
Robinson is in line to serve as the 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: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Malik Nabers (concussion) is out for Week 5 at Seattle, which should mean plenty of targets for Robinson. And I like Darius Slayton as a sleeper as well in deeper leagues. Robinson just had 11 catches for 71 yards on 14 targets in Week 4 against Dallas, and that's his third game this season with at least eight targets and six catches. He's also scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each of his past two games and has just one game this season below 11.8 PPR points. Robinson should be considered a No. 3 PPR receiver for Week 5 at Seattle, and he could get 10 catches in this matchup. For Slayton, he hasn't done much this season with Nabers and Robinson hogging most of the targets from Daniel Jones, and Slayton's best game was Week 4 against Dallas with three catches for 56 yards on four targets. But last season, Slayton had at least 17.2 PPR points in each of his final three games, and he caught a touchdown in each outing. He could be a nice surprise in Week 5 with Nabers out.

Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Clear for Week 5
Rotowire
Robinson (heel) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle, Dan Salomone of the 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.
Robinson (heel) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the 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.
