The New York Giants (2-6) will host the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Wan’Dale Robinson.
Is Robinson Playing in Week 9?
Robinson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Robinson in Week 9?
I understand that Wan’Dale Robinson has failed to reach 8.5 PPR points in four of his past six games and went through October without seeing an end zone target, but this is a profile I’m holding for now.
The slot machine has run 28+ routes in every game this season, and with the Cam Skaatebo injury, his role could be magnified as the short pass game may be what the Giants turn to as opposed to asking Tyrone Tracy to run RB dives.
It may not be, but the fact that there is a path to an uptick in volume from a highly efficient player and a developing QB is all I need. Robinson isn’t a top-35 receiver for me this week, but I’ll be tracking him closely.
The end of the season can get goofy at times, and matchups with the Commanders, Vikings, and Raiders to close (the Cowboys if your league extends to Week 18) are at least interesting enough for me to stash a player like this whose skill set is proven.
