Wan’Dale Robinson fantasy value increases after Monster Week 4 appearance

The New York Giants have a wide receiver who has surpassed his average draft position and makes a case for being a regular fantasy starter… and it’s not Malik Nabers.

Yes, the rookie has been fantastic in the stat sheet after four games, putting up 23+ PPR points in each of his last three games. But Nabers was expected to be a fantasy starter. With his college resume and LSU background, we kind of knew he could be an instant star.

No, the wide receiver I’m talking about is Wan’Dale Robinson.

In Thursday night’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Robinson was targeted 14 times, catching 11 passes for 71 yards and scoring 18.1 fantasy points. He has now scored more than eleven points in three of his first four games and is averaging 13.2 points.

That’s more than Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans and Jaylen Waddle.

Robinson has also been targeted 38 times, which amounts to almost 10 times per game.

Yet the Giants slot man is owned by just 27.1% of ESPN leagues, 46% of Sleeper leagues and 26% of Yahoo! competitions. He also appeared in two of my first three waiver wire add articles, but apparently no one believes he can continue this level of production.

If I had to guess, after Robinson had a big fantasy performance on national television, his league’s ownership totals will increase. Barring an injury to a big player (especially a running back), Robinson should be the top fantasy acquisition for Week 5.
