WR Allen Robinson (2 Viewers)

Rotoworld:

Jaguars WR Allen Robinson is done for the season with a broken foot.

Robinson is unsure when he suffered the stress fracture, but alerted the team following Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that his foot didn't feel right. It's a gut-punch to Robinson, but as long as he's not dealing with a Lisfranc problem or Jones fracture, he should make a quick recovery and be ready in plenty of time for OTAs. There was no reason to push Robinson back out there in a lost season. Robinson's rookie season ends with 48 catches for 548 yards and two touchdowns. He'll reenter 2015 as the favorite for No. 1 duties. In the meantime, the Jaguars will get a longer look at Marqise Lee.

Some injuries can happen without knowing exactly when, but a broken bone? Usually people know when they break stuff.

A stress fracture happens slowly over time. It's not a traumatic break where the bone snaps in half.

Happens all the time to runners.

 
With Shorts likely gone and Lee not doing anything spectacular, is Robinson a good dynasty buy low? He had minimal playing time but he looked good from what I saw. For current owners, what kind of rookie pick would it take to get him. For non-owners, what kind of rookie pick price would you pay to get him?

 
Isn't it safe to assume that people would prefer Gordon, Gurley, Cooper, Parker, and White over him? Wouldn't that put his "best" value as 1.06?

 
Where does Hurns fit into the plan with Robinson (if at all)?
hurns (mostly) was an afterthought once Robinson got the nod. he had one game over 100 yards after robinson went down. he had 21 catches in the 6 games after the bye week. he had an opportunity but didn't do anything with it.

i am always wary of betting heavy on a 2nd year player, especially one coming off an injury midseason. i own robinson, plan on keeping him, but i don't see him as anything to get excited about in that offense yet.

Well, I am an owner but if you can get him cheap he's worth a shot.

Don't forget that Justin Blackmon is back in the picture and TE Mercedes Lewis should also be healthy.

And don't completely overlook Marques Lee who was pressed into action and he was adequately productive so he's not out of the picture nor is Hurns.

Considering the Jags receiving corps looks crowded for the low number of targets I would only go so high as to offer a 2nd round rookie pick for him.

I like him, but I don't think he qualifies as a "buy low" because I don't think he will be cheap. He was putting up pretty good FF stats before he got hurt despite being a very young rookie with a shoddy QB. You'd think he should only improve in future seasons.

You won't get him then. He was a late 1st last year and it would be dumb for an owner to give him up for less than that.

 
I have him in one league. Anything above the 1.8 I'm taking the pick.

Gurley

Gordon

Cooper

Parker

White

I'd rather have those guys for sure. You also have to assume that some of the RBs are going to land in a good situation. Whether that's Abdullah, Coleman, Yeldon whomever. If they get a great landing spot, they are adding to that top list.

He was a late 1st round pick last year?

How big is your league? Most dynasty leagues operate as 12 team leagues and you are saying that Allen Robinson was late 1st round pick last year?

He didn't even get drafted in our 4 round rookie and veteran free agent draft last year.

Here is our first round from last year.

1. WR Sammy Watkins Buffalo Bills

2. QB Blake Bortles Jacksonville

3. WR Mike Evans Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4. WR Brandin Cooks New Orleans Saints

5. RB Carlos Hdye San Francisco 49ers

6. WR Kelvin Benjamin Carolina Panthers

7. RB Bishop Sankey Tennesee Titans

8. RB Terrance West Cleveland Browns

9. RB Devonta Freeman Atlanta Falcons

10. RB Andre Williams New York Giants

11. WR Jordan Mathews Philadelphia Eagles

12. RB Jeremy Hill, Cincinnati Bengals

 

I don't see how Robinson would be a first round pick in any standard sized 12 team league last year that was soo deep at WR that teams could pick and choose. In our draft O'Dell Beckam went in the second round because we conducted our draft in early September and he was still nursing his hammy and everyone felt he wouldn't play till much later in the year and would have fallen behind. Davante Adams was another second round WR taken along with Cody Latimer, both with great QBs and even Jarvis Landry was a second round WR.

I own Robinson but if you look at his stats from last year where his best game was against the Dolphins, 5 receptions for 82 yards and 1 TD, its a nice game but nothing spectacular. Might even be considered a regular or even ho-hum day from an A.J. Green or O'Dell Beckam or Mike Evans owner but that was Allen Robinson's high water mark from last year. A year where he only scored 2 TDs and his highest reception game was 7.

Jury is still out on Blake Bortles and they won't be throwing the ball a ton with an unproven QB like that and as noted Justin Blackmon is expected back and TE Mercedes Lewis should also be back healthy and both Marquise Lee and Allen Hurns are in the picture so I see a lot of competition in an offense where their probably won't be a lot of targets to go around.

Huh?! That sounds crazy. I'm in ten dynasty leagues. In the more competitive PPR leagues I'm in, which tends to be wide receiver heavy, he went around 11 to 16 overall. In some less competitive leagues he fell down to the late 2nd and even mid 3rd in one standard IDP league I'm in where there was a strong run for LBs and RBs.

For nobody to pick him over the course of four rounds sounds crazy to me, regardless of format. I'd like to see who went ahead of him in the third and fourth round. Do you have some weird roster cut-downs at the end of the season and increase roster size before the draft so that owners picked a lot of veterans in the late rounds?

He was picked in the 2nd round of the NFL draft and he had plenty of buzz even back in the pre-draft process so it's not like he appeared out of nowhere mid season. There were some FF experts that had him as the 3rd or 4th best WR in that class. Jon Moore at Rotoviz was pushing him hard all throughout the pre-draft process - http://rotoviz.com/2014/04/allen-robinson-is-a-first-round-receiver/

I'd probably sell him around 4-5 overall, depending on scoring, roster situation and league tendencies. I'd easily buy for a late 1st in PPR. Maybe even mid 1st.

meh.

he didn't have the benefit of a full offseason. injuries kept him off the field most of the OTAs and minicamp. he was out all of August too. it's difficult to expect someone - much less a rookie - to step up like he did. the numbers say he was productive, if unremarkable, but the numbers also say something else in the proper context. he did fine in those few games under the circumstances. had a few more TDs been sprinkled into his rookie season then we'd all be more bullish on him.

the entire Jax offense sucked. they averaged 15 ppg and were near the bottom of almost every offensive statistical category. they changed OC's and want to develop Bortles. i expect them to continue to improve even if it is only marginally.

Drafted him at the 1.11 last year. How did he not get drafted in 4 rounds in your league? That seems like a huge miss. IDP?

3rd/4th round RB's shouldn't have went before Robinson.

Yeah, that's how I see it as well. He had a rough pre-season so expectations were low on my part, but he rather quickly developed into Bortles' favorite target. Given what we know about his age, metrics and college production I felt we saw enough to get excited about his future.

He didn't blow the roof off the building like OBJ and some others, but he had 72 targets in his 8 last games. That's pretty heavy usage for a rookie who barely participated in the pre-season. Potentially he can be both an explosive player and a chain-mover. In PPR leagues that's fantasy gold. Potentially...

 
He looked really good last year before he got hurt, but just seems like a crowded situation there with Lee, Hurns and probably Blackmon also there to get targets.

Good for the Jax offsense, but until one WR really separates himself, it's going to be a frustrating fantasy situation even if Bortles improves markedly.

You see the bolded section above as an excuse for lack of production; I see it as a warning flag. He ended the year with surgery on his foot. Foot injuries can be problematic and recur. For a young player to be injured so much from OTAs to regular season gives me pause.

Second, as others have said, this is not a good situation. Young and unproven QB who didn't look great in his rookie year and lots of possible competition. He was a late first to mid-second round pick last year and I don't see how he improved his stock. If I believed in him and was prepared to wait a couple of years, I would offer late first (1.10-1.12). If he hadn't had season ending surgery and if he didn't have what I think is a bad QB, I could see going up to 1.06.

hurns gets mentioned here and there but i'm mostly at a loss as to why. he did very little once robinson was a starter. he didn't do that much afterward either. he may have had the best games of the season by any of the Jax WRs but that's because he didn't have anyone competing against him in those games.

they were different injuries, if it matters to you: hamstring vs stress fracture. he has no history at the college level of being "injury prone". i don't see any reason to slap that label on him yet.

i'm fine with people avoiding him altogether or discounting his value given the situation. he's most likely a flex or bye week option until proven otherwise. i'm not selling yet because i am cautiously optimistic about the offense. he's a long term hold for me.

I'm not sure if the situation is all that crowded... Robinson plays the x. Blackmon is a z who is utilized quite a bit in the slot, Lee is versatile but primarily he's a z who plays some y. Allen Hurns played the slot in three wide sets...but in any case; come on...if Allen Hurns is going to be the roadblock in Robinson's rise to stardom then Robinson is not who we hope he is anyways.

To me it seems like the return of Blackmon, if he can return to form and avoid getting suspended, will primarily cut into the snaps for Lee and Hurns. It's the NFL, there's going to be competition for playing time, but I don't see any reason why Robinson shouldn't get plenty of playing time in 2015.

Allen Robinson - WR - Jaguars

Allen Robinson (foot) is expected to be ready for the start of OTAs.

Robinson's season ended in Week 10 due to a stress fracture in his foot that required surgery. While Robinson will be ready for a full offseason, foot injuries are tricky. We'll need to keep a close eye on Robinson throughout the summer. As long as he's healthy, he'll be Blake Bortles' starting X receiver.

Re-drafting the 2014 wide receiver class

Excerpt:

Allen Robinson, Jacksonville JaguarsRobinson was just beginning to establish himself as Blake Bortles' No. 1 receiver when a stress fracture in his foot ended his season in November. At nearly 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds with a vertical leap over 40 inches, Robinson fits the "X" receiver profile, with fellow second-round pick Marqise Lee handling "Z" duties.

The former Penn State star's dominant physical trait is fluid body control and back-shoulder prowess thanks to his natural leaping ability. He wins at the catch point more than a player like Sammy Watkins, allowing him to move the sticks over the middle and make plays along the sideline. It's a small sample size, but Robinson wasn't quite as dangerous after the catch as his college film suggested.

The Question: Can he get vertical against NFL corners?

Robinson showed a knowledge of multiple route concepts, but he wasn't able to create separation with his double move or go routes. That's not entirely unexpected out of an "X" receiver with 4.60 speed. If Robinson can't get vertical, he won't last long as the No. 1 receiver in Jacksonville.

Comparison: Brandon Lloyd with shades of Carl Pickens
 
He could be a nice quiet bargain this year with Lee dinged, and Blackmon indefinitely suspended. Bortles should only get better with Yeldon and more line help.

 
Rotoworld:

Allen Robinson (foot) participated in individual drills at OTAs on Monday.

Robinson ran routes in his first team action since breaking his foot in Week 10. "I haven't had any setbacks," Robinson said of his recovery. "It's been going well." The Jaguars will certainly take it slow with Robinson, who was one of the bigger winners of the offseason after the Jaguars failed to add an outside receiver. He'll man the X spot as a sophomore and be a red-zone weapon.

Interesting. Maybe bump it back a bit for Superflex.
I just finished a 14 team superflex IDP startup where he went 5.05, but it's a contract league so owners play with a shorter window. Normal startups are much more youth driven these days. Rookie late 1st is normally around 80-100 overall in non-IDP, depending on how early/late you draft, and Robinson goes in the 35-40 range so if someone offered him to me for a late 1st I'd view that as a lot of free value.

 
Rotoworld:

Allen Robinson (foot) is considered ahead of schedule in his rehab.

Robinson continues to gradually increase his participation in drills as he comes off a stress fracture. "He's progressing really nicely," coach Gus Bradley said. If Robinson is healthy, he projects to lead the Jaguars in targets as an NFL sophomore.

Allen Robinson has looked very good, pictures don't do it justice but they don't lie either. Kid is a stud. This WR group is very intriguing
 
First Down: PPR Peterson, Big Ben's deception and sophomore WR sensations

Excerpt:

Allen Robinson, John Brown and Davante Adams have reached fantasy ninja status. They’re nimble, crafty receivers hiding in the shadows who, if trusted, may soon embed a throwing star in the neck of your league rival.

Robinson’s environment is very appealing. He’s an oversized target, off an occasionally exciting rookie year, who could tuck inside the WR top-15 in targets. Cash burner, Justin Blackmon, is no longer on the team, Marqise Lee is already dealing with an injury and Allen Hurns is best suited for No. 2 work. That leaves Robinson, a tacky-handed 6-foot-3, 210-pound wideout, at the head of the Jags’ WR class. Last year, he quickly developed into Blake Bortles main man. Before a broken foot prematurely ended his season in Week 11, he snagged 48-of-49 catchable balls and ranked No. 32 in PPR settings from Weeks 2-10. Reportedly unstoppable in drills, particularly inside the red zone, he has 70-1100-7 upside. For Robinson to realize his potential, the Jags, who often bogged down once they crossed midfield last year, must improve their execution on the opponents’ side of the field. However, adding T.J. Yeldon and Julius Thomas and a full offseason for Bortles should help.
 
I've been very high on Robinson from the beginning (see pages 1 & 2 of this thread) and it's exciting to read these fluff pieces, but I need to see a continuing growth on the field, particularly from Bortles. I'm not worried one bit about Allen Robinson's ability. I think his talent is blatantly obvious, but he needs Bortles to keep progressing and growing as a QB. I think Bortles can be a serviceable NFL QB, I certainly hope he can.

 
With Shorts likely gone and Lee not doing anything spectacular, is Robinson a good dynasty buy low? He had minimal playing time but he looked good from what I saw. For current owners, what kind of rookie pick would it take to get him. For non-owners, what kind of rookie pick price would you pay to get him?
I like him, but I don't think he qualifies as a "buy low" because I don't think he will be cheap. He was putting up pretty good FF stats before he got hurt despite being a very young rookie with a shoddy QB. You'd think he should only improve in future seasons.
I was able to get him after preseason game 1 last year. I gave Brandin Cooks and got ARob and 1st which turned out to be 1.6 (Perriman). My assessment of ARob was that he would be getting double digit TD's on the regular. I felt like I was getting the better player and the pick.

Good chance Bortles is the worst starting QB in the league. Seriously he's terrible.

 
I've been very high on Robinson from the beginning (see pages 1 & 2 of this thread) and it's exciting to read these fluff pieces, but I need to see a continuing growth on the field, particularly from Bortles. I'm not worried one bit about Allen Robinson's ability. I think his talent is blatantly obvious, but he needs Bortles to keep progressing and growing as a QB. I think Bortles can be a serviceable NFL QB, I certainly hope he can.
I think Bortles can be a lot more than serviceable.
