WR Allen Robinson, Free Agent (2 Viewers)

I think he will be right in that 9/10 zone which is MASSIVE value for where everyone drafted him this year. Doubt anyone took him as their WR1, and most likely he was people's WR3. Even with a drop in targets from last night (but a boost in tds), he should have a floor of a solid wr2 if healthy.
This is perfectly reasonable, I don't see him being able to climb back into WR1 status on this team, but when healthy he will be a great WR2 option. Perfect kind of player for those who went RB-heavy at the top. Ironically, the only league I have him in is where I was on autodraft and it went RB/RB/RB for me to start.

I wish I had been gutsy enough to take him as my WR1. I think he'll be fine there. Couldn't pass on Tyreek at the time but I would have been better off taking Kelce instead and rolling with A-Rod at WR1.
Deamon
Footballguy
I think a WR1 is definitely possible. He's not going to have 10 catch games all year, but even a line of 6 for 80 and 1 td is the same points as last night was. The TDs will come.
Deamon
Footballguy
Him as your WR1 would have been tough. His ADP is round 7, I highly doubt your first WR off the board would be in round 7, even in round 6.
Oh, it's possible. But I think the only real path to him getting there is by attrition. If 4-5 of the presumed WR1 guys get hurt or grossly underperform, AND Robinson stays healthy all season, he could be a back-end WR1.

Footballguy
It never was but yeah I'd be fine with going RB heavy and taking my TE and QB before a WR this year after seeing this performance by A-Rod. There's so many good options
You can't see this being a great draft where you go let's say.....
DJ
Kelce
Fournette
Josh Jacobs
Baker
Then grab guys like A-Rob, Curtis Samuel, Kirk, Sutton

Sure hindsight is easy, but I dont even think I would do this in Hindsight.
I'm also assuming this is only a start 2 WR (not 3), and a non ppr league. These types of leagues are in the minority of all leagues.
But ya, even in a non PPR start 2 WR league, I would rather go DJ/Kelce/Fournette/Jacobs/Lockett/Robinson/Wentz then DJ/Kelce/Fournette/Jacobs/Baker/Robinson/Samuel.
Milkman
Footballguy
Yeah I can see that and admittedly I was cherry picking players. Lockett is going to be huge this year too so can't fault you there. I much prefer Baker to Wentz so both of those are very close for me. I'd take Kyler Murray there instead of Wentz and then I like your choices more.

That red zone INT was awful... stared A-Rob down until there were 3 DBs running to the corner, and then he let it fly anyway.

That quote that @The Frankman has is spot-on -- Robinson was unstoppable today. Raiders secondary isn't strong, but even when they had solid coverage Robinson was simply making outstanding catches.
Looks like the kinda WR who is good enough to succeed no matter who is under center.

These are Rotoworld quotes, btw. If I add anything it's outside the bubble.
Bears have attempted 166 passes. Robinson has 42 targets, a 25.3% market share. Out of 1,014 yards passing, he accounted for 377, which is a 37.2% market share. He's also got 33% of the receiving TDs (2 of only 6).
He's on pace for 134 targets, 99 receptions, 1,206 yards, 6 TDs.
This offense has been terrible, but he is looking elite again. One the bright side, at least he doesn't play for Miami.

A Rob II was drafted everywhere to be my WR1, actually, which is where you could get him if you focused on the fourth or fifth round. So far, one team is good. The other, not so much. He's been great, and this weekend the touchdowns came to go along with a game script where he was needed.
That's pretty bold, but through five weeks he's WR13, so if you hit on the pick where other people would've taken their WR1 you're probably doing ok. Given how poorly the Bears have moved the ball through the air, it's a minor miracle he's doing as well as he is. If they were middle of the pack like they were last year, he's be a sure fire WR1. Here's to hoping they can pull their **** together over the bye week.

Yeah, in one league, like I said, I'm doing poorly. In the other league I drafted Chris Godwin along with him at the turn. That league I'm doing well in. No surprise. I think my biggest weakness has been starting the wrong receivers in the wrong games in the one I'm doing poorly in. It's usually that I have one variance that sinks my team that week. The team is deep, but bell curvy. Plus, I haven't started Land Chark yet, getting talked out of it by rankings, so it's really on me.FF Ninja said:That's pretty bold, but through five weeks he's WR13, so if you hit on the pick where other people would've taken their WR1 you're probably doing ok.

I just acquired him today in a redraft. The schedule gets hard, so I'm hoping they'll have to pass a bit more going forward. This just means they'll be a bunch of 6-3 games. :(FF Ninja said:That's pretty bold, but through five weeks he's WR13, so if you hit on the pick where other people would've taken their WR1 you're probably doing ok.

Out of curiosity, what did you pay?
I think he'll be a nice play RoS. He looks dominant again. Winning those 50/50 balls like a boss. And if he can be WR13 on a ~30th ranked passing offense, then he should be fine. The passing offense can't get worse, right?

Engram, Kerryon, Hilton, Kyler in a shallow lineup short bench PPR league. For Kelce, Arob and then 2 free agents (Kirk, Mike Williams, MVS, types)

I own him in a lot of leagues. Benching him everywhere I can afford to but need to start him on one spot. One league I'm starting John Brown and Sutton over him but don't have that luxury in every league.

Had him on my bench, but put him back in last minute. Told myself I'd rather have him do poorly in my lineup then blow up on my bench.
I was lying to myself
Hopefully Trubisky will take some time to rehab his "injury," and Daniel can actually provide some competent QB play.

Starting him over Robby Anderson or James Washington.
(will probably flip a coin for Anderson/Washington or my 3rd WR)

Two TDs in 1st half, I didn't start him

Didn't start him either (flex). Trubisky had been bad against top-10 pass D's this year (Dallas sure didn't look like a top-10 pass last night, but they were coming into the game), and Dallas had been giving up an average of only 54 receiving yards and .17 TD to WR1's this year. Robinson finished with 48 yards & 2 TDs. The process & decision seems valid, but the outcome was greatly impacted by those 2 TDs. A-Rob is 16th in 10-zone TDs this year, so it was obviously a possibility that he'd score, but I went with the numbers. As long as the guy I started at flex over him doesn't bomb, I'll be OK with the decision (he says now, before he realizes that this lineup decision costs him his playoff matchupTwo TDs in 1st half, I didn't start him

The clunker against the Rams and the other one-catch performance against Philly nuked a week or two for me, too, so I wouldn't kick yourself too much. Five of eight targets, culminating in forty-eight yards and two scores gave him a TD-dependent line, though he had, since Chase Daniel and the London Raiders game, gotten many more end zone targets than previously in the year. If you believe, for the most part, about holding constant touchdowns writ large because of the massive amount of information needed to make the decision, then that's nothing you should regret, IMHO. Still stings, though, don't it?Didn't start him either (flex).

Yeah, it does. I was watching the first quarter & felt like I'd made the right choice. Even during Chi's nice drive (before the INT), A-Rob wasn't getting any catches or even targets.

I really like A Robinson, I think he is a good WR on a poor passing team.
Makes me wonder how good he could be on a good passing team.
