Should You Start or Sit Robinson in Week 12?
It was good to see Robinson haul in Jameis Winston’s first pass of the season (20-yard gain), but he managed to turn eight targets into just 16 yards after that chunk play, giving us the 7.5-13.6 PPR points that have been customary for over a month now.
There’s nothing fun about playing him, but this is an offense that is low on better options and high in potential pass volume as a considerable underdog this week.
Robinson is sitting as my WR23 this week, not because I think he has the 23rd-best odds of leading the position in scoring, but more because there aren’t 30 receivers I trust more to flirt with 10 points.
That’s a distinction that I think is worth highlighting. If you’re playing a powerhouse in your league and grasping for straws, playing New York’s slot machine is setting yourself up for failure. You’re better off with Christian Watson, Alec Pierce, or Tez Johnson.
However, if you are the powerhouse, Robinson should be in your mix every week, as he can steady the ship and let your stars do the heavy lifting.
