Robinson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. Robinson was a key part of the Giants' offense, commanding at least eight targets for the seventh time this season. The difference in Sunday's performance was his ability to make some big plays, as his 23-yard catch and run early in the fourth quarter was only his second reception of at least 20 yards on the campaign. Robinson should remain involved moving forward, though his upside will be limited due to his role in one of the least explosive offenses in the league.

Robinson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. Robinson was a key part of the Giants' offense, commanding at least eight targets for the seventh time this season. The difference in Sunday's performance was his ability to make some big plays, as his 23-yard catch and run early in the fourth quarter was only his second reception of at least 20 yards on the campaign. Robinson should remain involved moving forward, though his upside will be limited due to his role in one of the least explosive offenses in the league.
Robinson caught three of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to Washington. Fantasy managers have grown accustomed to Robinson posting uninspiring yardage totals, but he had been a steady PPR performer in the early part of the campaign with at least eight targets and six catches in five of his first seven games. However, the 2022 second-round draft pick has gotten less attention from QB Daniel Jones over the past two weeks, drawing just five targets against the Steelers in Week 8 followed by Sunday's four targets (which tied a season-low mark) against the Commanders. Robinson's decrease in targets has coincided with rookie tight end Theo Johnson seeing 10 targets over the past two weeks, which may be a sign that Jones is looking to distribute targets move evenly when he's not throwing to top wideout Malik Nabers. If that's the case, Robinson's fantasy outlook will take a hit given his reliance on volume over big plays.
Robinson secured all five targets for 30 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night. Robinson finished second in receptions on the night for the Giants, but that led to modest yardage in the receiver's typical short-area role. Robinson has at least five receptions in six straight games, but the fact he's exceeded 50 receiving yards just twice in that span underscores his fantasy viability is largely limited to full-PPR formats.
Robinson reeled in six of nine targets for 23 yards Sunday in a Week 7 loss to the Eagles. Even with rookie Malik Nabers back from a two-week absence due to a concussion, Robinson continued to be peppered with plenty of looks from QB Daniel Jones, as he led the team with nine targets. However, his six receptions resulted in just 23 yards, with Robinson's long gain of the day going for just six yards. The third-year wideout has been almost exclusively a short-field option for the Giants this season, as he's averaging just 7.0 yards per reception and has just one catch of 20-plus yards. Robinson has at least eight targets and five catches in six of his seven contests this season, giving him a relatively safe floor in PPR fantasy leagues, though he's much less of an asset in non-PPR formats given that he's been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards five times on the campaign.
Robinson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Meanwhile, rookie WR Malik Nabers reached the final phase of the concussion protocol Thursday and also was a full participant, and Darius Slayton (groin) remained limited for a second day in a row. Robinson thus appears poised to welcome back Nabers for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, while Slayton's status is more up in the air. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will give a sense of who may be Robinson's competition for targets from QB Daniel Jones this weekend.
Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Fellow receivers Malik Nabers (concussion) and Darius Slayton (groin) also were limited participants. Slayton drew 11 targets in consecutive games with Nabers absent for both contests, while Robinson's role essentially stayed the same. All three wideouts could be available Sunday against the Eagles, depending on the extent that Nabors, Slayton and Robinson are able to practice Thursday and Friday.
Robinson finished with five receptions (11 targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals. Robinson tied teammate Darius Slayton for the team lead in targets (11) while Malik Nabers (concussion) remained sidelined for the second consecutive game. The 23-year-old Robinson couldn't replicate his trip to the end zone from last week's depth chart promotion, but he still produced decent numbers considering the Giants were held to just seven points at home. The 11 targets marked the third time in six games this season that Robinson has hit double-digit targets. Despite his unpredictable workload, Robinson is providing fantasy value for those in deeper formats off of volume alone heading into a Week 7 matchup against Philadelphia.
Robinson caught six of nine targets for 36 yards and a touchdown while adding a four-yard rush in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks. Robinson tied the game at a touchdown apiece with a seven-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the fourth consecutive game with more than 60 receiving yards or a touchdown for Robinson, who has carved out a significant role in the Giants' offense out of the slot. Robinson's role wasn't significantly affected by the absence of sensational rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion), but Darius Slayton turned into the team's top pass catcher with eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Robinson's Week 6 outlook against the Bengals is unlikely to be affected significantly by Nabers' availability or lack thereof.
Robinson is in line to serve as the Giants' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks with Malik Nabers (concussion) inactive for the contest, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site. Robinson has already seen volume befitting the title of the alpha pass catcher of the offense, logging 38 targets through the first four games of the season. The third-year pro has just an average depth of target of 4.6 yards, however, so while he projects for another extremely busy afternoon, veteran Darius Slayton and speedy second-year man Jalin Hyatt are likely to share the downfield routes Nabers' absence opens up.
