Should I Pick Up and Start Allen Robinson in Week 12? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

November 22, 2022

Should I add Allen Robinson for fantasy football Week 12? Is Allen Robinson a good fantasy pick off the waiver wire? Read the fantasy football waivers outlook.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson can be classified as one of the bigger fantasy busts of the 2022 season.

Many fantasy managers used a third or fourth-round pick in summer drafts to add the veteran wideout to their rosters. For much of the year, Robinson failed to live up to expectations as the Rams' No. 2 receiver opposite Cooper Kupp.

Things have changed of late, however, as Robinson has started to play better and Kupp was recently injured. Should fantasy managers be adding Robinson off of waivers ahead of Week 12? Let's dive in and take a look.

What Did Allen Robinson Do In Week 11?

Robinson turned in a serviceable fantasy day against the Saints in Week 11. He wound up catching four of his five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 loss to New Orleans.

He tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing second in targets and receiving yardage while playing most of the second half with Bryce Perkins under center after Matthew Stafford suffered a concussion.

Robinson capped off his day with a six-yard touchdown pass from Stafford in the second quarter, his third TD grab of the season.

Should I Add Allen Robinson Off the Waiver Wire in Fantasy Football?

As mentioned previously, Robinson could be trending up over the half of the season. He has started to play better of late after failing to fulfill early-season expectations, having gone for at least 44 receiving yards while catching at least four balls in four of his past five contests.

Robinson's recent success, paired with the high-ankle sprain suffered by Cooper Kupp in Week 10, should lead to more fantasy production for the former moving forward. Kupp is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks and may not return at all in 2022 if the Rams fall out of playoff contention. That would allow Robinson to slide into the WR1 chair in Los Angeles and presumably see a larger workload over the final stretch of the season.

While the Los Angeles offense has not been very good in 2022, Robinson is still worth a look at a potential waiver add in deeper leagues as a WR3/flex option moving forward. He is worth a priority add off of waivers if he is still floating around out there and can be started as a solid WR3 heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs.
