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.
Should You Start or Sit Moore in Week 17?
It’s not how you start, but how you finish.
Moore was held without a catch in the first half, but that was less about him and more about the Bears having the ball for a tick over 10 minutes. He did appear to be shaken up early, and he came off the field. Still, he returned shortly thereafter with a 12-yard gain on a nice backward pass design, and, if you’re familiar with how the game against the Packers ended on Saturday night, the injury clearly wasn’t prohibitive.
The walk-off 46-yard touchdown got Moore his fourth 20+ PPR point performance of the season and his second in as many weeks. In those contests, both without Rome Odunze (foot) and last week without Luther Burden (ankle), his aDOT has skyrocketed (20.7 yards per target on his 12 looks), and it hasn’t cut into his catch rate at all (nine grabs).
I tend to tread lightly when those two numbers (catch rate and aDOT) trend in the same direction because that’s not what usually happens. That leads me to believe that you could be in for a rude awakening if you assume Moore is a locked-in asset this weekend, should either WR return to action.
The matchup doesn’t scare me, but the run-first nature of this offense, along with the increased maturity of Caleb Williams, does.
It’s easy to be blinded by the recent fireworks, but let’s not forget that Moore failed to hit 5.0 PPR points in four of five games before this outburst. If he is clearly the WR1 in this offense, I don’t think you have a decision to make: play him and hope that the recent connection down the field sticks.
If he’s vying for targets with two tight ends, two running backs, AND two other capable receivers? Then his ranking drops from inside my top 20 to in the WR30 neighborhood and that means he’s on the fringes of starting lineups in most situations.
