Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, New York Giants (at LV)

One of the biggest surprises of the season has been the play of Wan’Dale Robinson. Of course, Malik Nabers’ injury played a big role in Robinson’s strong performance. But he still had to deliver. And he has…just not last week.

In a game where Jaxson Dart could not get anything going, Robinson caught three passes for 19 yards. It was his worst fantasy outing since Week 4. Fortunately, there’s reason to think things will turn around this week.

The Giants get a nice Week 17 matchup against a Raiders defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Given how poorly attempting just 13 passes in a game went for the Giants last week, expect a little bit more passing volume this week.

Since Week 6, Robinson has failed to reach double-digit fantasy points a mere three times, but never in consecutive weeks. He should get back on track when fantasy managers need it most.

Jakobi Meyers, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. IND)

What a strange game. Trevor Lawrence once again played out of his mind, throwing for three touchdowns. Yet, none of them went to Jakobi Meyers. In fact, of Lawrence’s 23 completions and 279 yards, just four for 45 went to Meyers. It marked the first time in five weeks that Meyers failed to reach double-digit fantasy points.

Even amidst the down game, Meyers still saw eight targets, trailing only Parker Washington for the team lead. He remains well ahead of Brian Thomas Jr., who has been relegated to the fifth option in the passing game and is completely irrelevant.

Meyers should get back on track against a Colts defense he just posted 14.8 fantasy points against in Week 14.

The Colts allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. They are a pass funnel defense. With how well Lawrence is playing and the importance of this game for playoff positioning, Meyers is poised for a strong finish to the fantasy season.
