Should You Start or Sit Robinson in Week 8?
Where did the Wan’Dale Robinson that we had come to know and tolerate go?
I drafted him this summer with the thought being that I’d never play him, but if forced to, I’d embrace the elevated floor and hope that my stars do the heavy lifting for that one-off week.
That’s the furthest thing from what he is.
Over the past six weeks, he has cleared 80 yards three times, scoring in two of those contests. He’s also failed to clear 30 yards three times.
One of those good games did come against these Eagles (6-84-1 in Week 6) and the profile looks reasonably clean from that victory. The part that worries me is that he largely thrived with a game script I don’t expect to repeat.
In that game, five of his receptions came with the G-Men holding a lead. As a seven-point underdog, on the road, against a superior team that has a full week to prepare for the film Jaxson Dart has put together, this isn’t a spot I’m comfortable.
If he reaches any of the thresholds he hit in the first meeting, I’d be surprised. I’ll take whatever 49er wide receivers decide to suit up this week (at HOU) over Robinson and I’d be receptive to the idea of playing boom/bust options in better scoring environments like Matthew Golden or Rashid Shaheed over him.
