The New York Giants are getting good value out of their underrated slot receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. He is quickly establishing himself as the team’s WR2 behind standout rookie Malik Nabers.

Wan’Dale Robinson is quickly becoming an elite second option for the Giants

In the Week 3 win over the Cleveland Browns, Robinson recorded a season-high seven receptions on eight targets for 61 receiving yards. He averaged 8.7 yards per reception, the second straight week in which he had at least eight yards per catch.

On the season, Robinson is second on the Giants in receptions (15), targets (24), receiving yards (123), and is the only receiver other than Nabers to score a touchdown. With Jalin Hyatt and Darius Slayton seeing less action than initially expected, Robinson has emerged as a big secondary target for quarterback Daniel Jones.

Robinson was expected to take on a bigger role from the jump, which has been one of the team’s top targets since his rookie season in 2022. Injuries slowed his early development, but now he is fully healthy and carrying he contributed to a Giants offense. that has looked a lot better in the past two weeks.

The Giants need Robinson to continue his positive production in Week 4

With a big game against the Dallas Cowboys coming up in Week 4, Robinson could be in for a big performance as teams continue to pay attention to Nabers’ meteoric rise to stardom. There’s a good chance the star rookie will see multiple defensive backs in his coverage, which could open the field for Robinson to take on additional targets.

Nevertheless, the Giants see Robinson quickly developing into a strong secondary receiver, which is huge for them as they look to erase their terrible start to the season.
