WR Allen Robinson (2 Viewers)

As an A. Rob owner - I don't like any of those landing spots outside of New England and Jacksonville.  I am convinced Derek Carr only looks at Renfrow and Waller.

But is that because he doesn't really have anybody else to throw to?  Robinson would be head and shoulders above anybody else he has had as a complete WR

Difficult to say - Bryan Edwards was all the buzz and being compared to Terrell Owens, but hasn't produced in this offense.  I just think he locks onto Waller and doesn't progress through his reads.  It isn't like other guys are getting targets and missing catches.

I think NEP & LV are the best options on that list.

Colts w/JimmyG is next best but still meh, and CLE & JAX would be rough. FF WR2 at best.

I guess with Jacksonville, my thought is Trevor Lawrence is a capable passer and there should be plenty of negative game scripts for targets, yards and garbage points?

Yeah, but how much would ARob hate being with yet another young and/or inaccurate passer?

He’s left 1000s of yards on the field with passed thrown behind him for years, be it Mitch, Fields, etc. 

I’m not a Big Mac Jones guy, but he is accurate 

ARob might want the reunion with JAX, but losing & having to bail out yet another young signal caller might make the euphoria of that short-lived. 

 
I think Jax would be great for ARob (assuming TL develops, which I think he will.)

But would love to see him in NE to finally give them a legit wideout and help Mac Jones.

I do agree to an extent, but if Lawrence develops at the rate he is predicted and ends up being Andrew Luck/Peyton Manning-esque those growing pains should be pretty limited and he would be the best QB ARob has ever caught a ball from.

We'll see what NE will end up doing, but they are turning over every rock and evaluating every possible option in the WR market, whether that be by through free agency, trade, or the draft. The only player I have not seen connected to the Pats at all is Amari, and I am guessing that's because of his expected price tag. I'm doubtful they will draft a WR in the first round this year, mostly because CB is a bigger need. They lost Gilmore and Jackson in under a year. BB usually will pick defense over offense in the draft, and they probably need a young explosive LB. They also need help at OT. I know the media narrative is WR, WR, WR . . . they have to take a WR, but I think they are far more likely to want an established WR than drafting a first round one again after the Harry fiasco.

 
WR than drafting a first round one again after the Harry fiasco
Really, that's their fault. Only Reagor was as bad, and all the warning signs were there for Reagor for anybody paying attention. N'Keal was never a separator, and it showed in the pros. Brady won't throw it unless you're open, and neither could Mac his first year. 

BB preaches no turnovers. He's not going to like a 50/50 guy, so why draft one? 

Bad all around -- and could have been in foresight -- by the Patriots.

The story goes that the NE scouts were all against taking Harry and BB was the one that liked him and overruled the entire scouting department. That’s what caused the team to go to a “more collaborative” draft room approach. Allegedly it’s not just Bill’s decision 100% anymore, but I don’t really buy that. 

The problem for Harry has been he will make a spectacular catch and then drop 6 easy ones. Since no one trusts him, the QBs never look for him. There have been many times he was open but was not targeted. NE turned him into a good blocking WR. But how valuable is that from a first round pick?

That sounds like something that should have happened before. I think a more collaborative approach suits the Patriots. See last year with Harris and a few fumbles that didn't earn him immediate benching. 

As far as fantasy goes, that was personally my worst move of the year last year. Trading Harris away. He's likely to be an RB1/RB2 for a decent stretch. 

 
I think the Colts will make a play for him and also draft a WR at #42.  Their WR room is bare after Pittman.  Campbell had potential but he is made of glass (Elijah Price).

 
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Lions, Browns and Chiefs are amongst the teams in on free agent Allen Robinson. 

They surely aren't the only ones. Amongst those three, we know where we would be signing if we were Robinson. 28-year-old Robinson seems at the stage of his career where he needs some space created for him. Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield are not going to help in that department. Robinson figures to have a new home within the next 48 hours.

Gotta give the Rams a ton of credit…it truly feels like they do not have a salary cap as they keep figuring out how to add legit talent…on a side note how they operate is one of the reasons I do not value Akers…McVay is always a threat to add a shiny new toy whether it is thru the draft, trade or free agency.

 
Wow.

AND they're indicating have money left to pay OBJ....

Crazy Kirk is higher paid even after a down year by Arob.

Well, considering Whitworth retired & they didn’t have to pay Avon Miller it probably freed up a lot of cash. 

Gonna be tough to protect Stafford but they have a lot of weapons.

I question whether or not OBJ will be back. Doesn’t make sense to have all 4 of those guys & Woods is unlikely to go anywhere. 

 
Rams signed Allen Robinson, formerly of the Bears, to a three-year, $45 million contract. 

Coming off a down 2021 season, Robinson's deal with LA includes a whopping $30 million guaranteed. This could end speculation that Odell Beckham will return to the Rams in 2022 after suffering an ACL tear in the Super Bowl. Robinson alongside Cooper Kupp and a healthy Robert Woods would make for quite the receiver trio, perhaps the best in the league. A-Rob's horrific 2021 season -- in which the Bears coaching staff seemed uninterested in using him and he struggled to recover from a bout with COVID-19 -- might make it easy to forget his 2020 campaign, in which he went for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns on 102 catches. Robinson, who turns 29 in August, should have some juice left as a possession receiver and the second or third option for Matthew Stafford in LA. Robinson's signing likely ends Van Jefferson's role as an every-down wideout in the Rams offense.

Fields

Dalton 

Mitch

Foles

I think Stafford might rank higher.
You buried the lede:

3 years of Bortles. 

I still remember some training camp video of ARob trying to catch a sideline pass, and the mic catching him saying to himself after a bad throw, "just keep it on the field" 

Other WRs want the QB to put it high or to the left, ARob dreams of QBs keeping it inbounds. 😂

 
Yowsa, jackpot. Wish I had been able to acquire him cheaply in a few more leagues but he still had a few believers that wouldn’t sell low. He won’t get alpha dog targets but they will be very high quality.  If they keep Woods Rams WR’s not named Kupp may be good targets in best ball if they suppress each other’s ADP. And yes, my Van Jefferson shares take a hit.

Do they cut or trade Woods before Sunday and his salary goes guaranteed and his bonus gets paid? Would he even pass a physical at this point so they could cut or trade him or are they stuck with him?

Good for Rams, good for Stafford, and good for Robinson (mainly because any teams other than Chicago will be upgraded). 

 
I like this move because the Rams can't possibly keep all their backup receivers.  Some teams are going to benefit greatly from this move.
Why can't they have a WR group of: Kupp, Robinson, Woods, Jefferson, Atwell?

Robinson is an upgrade from Beckham in my opinion. Rams have BY FAR, the best group of WRs in the NFL right now. Robinson is going to feast on the #2/#3 coverage Beckham saw.

I believe I saw him do the same thing in a prime time game

Very happy for him

and few teams, if any, throw as often as the Rams do inside the 10 and 5-yard line

A-Rob hasn't scored more than 7 TDs in a season since 2016. I bet we see a spike now.

We hit on it all here, and the fantasy football implications too

Allen Robinson Highlights - How He Fits with the Rams

Allen Robinson highlights from the 2021 season, and how he fits in the Rams offense with Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. The Underdog Football Show analyzes their fit together, if the Rams are done adding to the position (hello Odell beckham), and update their 2022 fantasy football rankings. Allen Robinson could thrive in the redzone.

-----------------------

Josh Norris@JoshNorris

Odell Beckham: 12 targets inside the 10-yard line 8 catches, 8 touchdowns

This is where I see Allen Robinson making his mark "4-point plays"... converting catches into touchdowns in condensed fields

Odell was the best at it on the Rams last year.

A-Rob might be this year
