Should You Start or Sit Wan’Dale Robinson in Week 1?
Wan’Dale Robinson was WR11 last season in terms of PPG on short passes (9.1, ahead of names you know like CeeDee Lamb, Drake London, and Brian Thomas Jr.), and the preseason usage of Jaxson Dart suggests that he’ll be relying on his teammates to rack up the YAC whenever he gets the chance.
This is more of a long-term sales pitch on Robinson than a short-term one. You’re probably unable to play a slot merchant when your roster is at full strength, but rostering a high-floor player like this is good.
If you want to get cute in DFS, Robinson makes for an interesting click at a low ownership number. Washington blitzed at the sixth highest rate last season (32% of opponent dropbacks), so if there is ever going to be a spot where this offense features the short passing game, this could well be the spot (he did score against them last season and had a pair of double digit catch efforts – it’s not flashy upside, but if they chose to highlight his role, there’s a chance to mine some cheap value).
