Wan'Dale Robinson 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: A Hidden Gem With Sneaky Potential
6 months agoNew York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson enters the 2024 season as a sleeper pick with upside potential. His 2023 campaign, despite looking bleak with only one touchdown scored, showed flashes of brilliance that should intrigue fantasy managers. Overall, the 23-year-old racked up 60 catches for 525 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 87 yards and scoring over 15 games last season. Robinson battled back from a torn ACL in 2022 to carve out a significant role in the Giants' offense last season, even with quarterback instability. He led the team in targets (76) and receptions despite missing two games with a quad injury, showcasing a knack for getting open underneath. His 78.9% catch rate ranked among the league's elite, but his 5.3 average depth of target (aDOT) suggests he wasn't exactly feasting downfield. Think underneath crossing routes and dump-offs, not streaking down the sideline. Robinson's current ADP at 202 and RotoBaller WR67 ranking presents a thrilling opportunity for a late-round steal. However, it's crucial to manage expectations. With Darren Waller retired and Sterling Shepard in Tampa Bay, Robinson will compete for targets with first-round pick Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, and Theo Johnson. He's better suited as a bye-week fill-in than a consistent WR3. Keeping an eye on training camp news, the Giants' offensive line, and Daniel Jones' (knee) health is vital. Positive developments in these areas could significantly enhance Robinson's value. On the flip side, drafting him requires caution and a healthy dose of patience.
