It's weird because up until this season he's been kinda QB proof. Never once had a great QB and yet still put up strong #2 numbers by end of year. To me he was one of the safer bets at WR, but I certainly blew it on that call.

Look liked a consensus and for good reason. Four of the last six seasons he was a 150+ target hog, and the only two he wasn't was torn ACL year and his recovery year. With the best QBs he has ever played with, seemed like a lock.
But last year's Air Yards King has become the man now that they have someone who can throw deep.

If anything I thought Fields would help him improve. It's hard to remember that most rookie QBs are not Mahomes or Herbert when they start.

In a 12 teamer , standard start 3WR league, I moved Allen Robinson early last week.
Here was the trade - I send ALLEN ROBINSON and AUSTIN HOOPER for GEORGE KITTLE and JERRY JEUDY . (The other owner was "disgusted" with Kittle , has Goedert on the bench, and was desperate for WRs)
In that specific league, we are the 2 lowest scoring teams and were both nearing must win status.
A few days later KITTLE goes to I.R., and JJ was already on IR.
I think I definitely won the trade, but in retrospect I kinda think WE BOTH LOST.
(I promptly lost Kittle, Carson and Calvin Ridley last week, so my season there is almost over, barring a miracle win this week)
Anyway, the reason I even bring it up, is all off-season long I have been a believer in ARob. Its certainly not like hes had Hall-of-Fame caliber QBs in his career, in fact some were just bad.....really bad.
The whole situation reeks of him staying a bust the entire season. Will I think he rebounds a bit and has some good weeks? Sure. Do I think he is the high end WR2 from here on out he has been in the past, no chance.
Wrap your head around this............ I play in 10 and 12 teamer leagues, and the majority of those are mandatory START 3 WRs. In 2 of the leagues I am in, 2 other "relatively smart owners" have now BENCHED Allen Robinson. Yes, BENCHED ALLEN ROBINSON IN A START 3 WR LEAGUE.
Always liked this guys dedication, work ethic and talent, but he's just not in a good situation. I'm kind of glad I washed my hands of him for good. And to think, in 1 specific 12 teamer I had these three starting WRs - Stefon Diggs - Calvin Ridley - Allen Robinson. I remember I left the draft thinking I "beat the league at the WR position".

Yep, bad QB, bad coaching staff. Not much ARob can do about it.

Hard to imagine this story line taking a turn for the worse from where he already was QB-wise.
I must be watching too much “What If…?” but I have to think there is a parallel universe where he got drafted by the Packers and became an all time great. Poor dude.Hard to imagine this story line taking a turn for the worse from where he already was QB-wise.

Story of his career really. He's never had a good QB and also has rarely had a situation this poor.
I'd hope for the Patriots (I guess?) and cry if he went to either the Chiefs or the Ravens. But something needs to happen, he's unstartable now and I never really thought I'd say that again.

Pro Tip: I always draft a late round bye week kicker, so I can drop him for another kicker who's already past his bye.

Thanks, I usually do too, but we run an action draft and I had a window to grab Tucker for a buck so I did.

10 Team, 10 player keeper league with roster limits by position. A guy in my league dropped Ruggs, so it was a easy decision for me to drop ARob for Ruggs.

I just traded FOR him in my redraft league. Don’t need him to start yet, so I guess my hope is he gets traded and ends up somewhere nice. Or Fields or Dalton figure it out. Either way, I’m on the hype train.

Gotta build that FA value up.
Personally, as a Bears fan, I really hope he re-signs. I'm willing to completely throw this year out, due to injuries, COVID, and just never having time to get a rapport with a QB. Robinson is only a year removed from a 102-1250-6 season. I also think he and Mooney complement each other nicely, and Robinson brings a contested catch ability that could really benefit Fields development.

I think he's a great buy low WR this offseason. He's had too many productive years to think he suddenly can't play the position. I got him in the middle 11th round of a dynasty best ball SF startup and felt his upside/youth was greater than other WRs available at that time (Kirk, Thielen, Patterson, Boyd)

Interesting FA & FF prospect this year. Went from a 1250/6 td line to a 410/1 td line. Coincided with going from a combo of Mitch/Foles to Andy/Fields. Hard to know how much that affected him and how much it was other things at work. He does seem to be someone to take a shot on (if the price is right) at 28 years old.

Considering how Mooney did well in the same system, I’m not sure Robinson deserves a pass (literally and figuratively) for his down year. Granted, he was hurt for a good chunk of the year, but he struck me as a guy who checked out. Which is surprising in a free agent year - maybe he thinks he’d still get full value based on his full body of work.
Its possible he quit on Nagy, but I think its equally possible he was never healthy. I'm not sure what Mooney did is relevant to Robinson, he's an entirely different type of player.
My issue is mostly that if they let Robinson walk, they have nobody currently to replace him, and whomever they do add, is almost certainly going to be a major downgrade, especially without a 1st round pick. I'm also of the belief that most of the FA WRs, won't actually hit the market. Adams, Godwin, and Williams likely stay put, or go to teams that aren't Chicago. I don't see OBJ with the Bears either.
I think the best guys the Bears would have shots at in FA, are guys like Michael Gallup, Christian Kirk, or JuJu. At that point, I'd much prefer just bringing back Robinson.
