Should You Start or Sit Robinson in Week 13?
The spike plays aren’t going to come in bulk like they did last week.
That much we know.
He scored from 39 yards down last week on a third-down flea flicker that required an agile Jameis Winston cut to have time to get the throw off. Robinson was featured in a variety of ways early, reaching triple digits in receiving yards in the first quarter, the best single quarter of his career.
By 45 yards.
He finished the week with 199 air yards, more than he had in the first three weeks of November combined, and paid it off with a 9-156-1 final line. He’s seen an end zone target in consecutive games and 45 targets over his past four, volume that I’m comfortable betting on, even if the type of opportunity rarely looks the way it did over the weekend.
New England’s run defense showed some cracks last week against the Bengals, but I’ll go ahead and trust the first 11 weeks in the previous four quarters. Assuming they remain one of the best units in that regard, projecting a high pass count is reasonable, and if that happens, Robinson is likely to make good on your faith.
I have him ranked as a low-end PPR WR2, leading the tier of receivers that fit this general profile (Khalil Shakir and Michael Pittman).
