Weekly Writeup

Robinson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with an ankle injury. We'll keep an eye on his status, but any health concerns only add risk to an already shaky profile. Robinson's yet to even post a top-36 WR finish this season.

Week 5
Robinson’s underwhelming season continued on Sunday, catching 4 of his 5 targets for 32 yards. The volume has really diminished after seeing 11 targets in Week 1 against the Rams. He has only produced more than 35 receiving yards once this season.

Going forward Robinson is someone to sit on your bench if possible. With Justin Fields only ahead of Jacoby Brissett in terms of yards per attempt and Matt Nagy being a horrendous play caller, there is little reason for optimism. Chicago has run the ball 25 or more times in 4 of 5 games, including 2 with a staggering 34 rush attempts. Until something dramatic happens, the Bears passing game is an avoid.

Week 4
Robinson caught 3 of 3 targets for 63 yards in the Bears' Week 4 win over the Lions.
Robinson was efficient, catching all 3 of the balls thrown in his direction, including gains of 27 and 28 yards in the 3rd quarter.
Positive game script hurt Robinson in this one as the Bears built an early 14-0 lead and went conservative with their rookie QB making his 2nd career start.
Robinson should have some upside in Week 5’s matchup against the Raiders.

Week 3
Robinson led all Bears with 6 targets in Sunday’s loss to the Browns, and that didn’t even include the 48-yard PI he drew against S John Johnson -- or the holding call he drew on CB Denzel Ward to help another drive.

Alas, Robinson caught just 2 of his 6 official targets for 27 yards. (Though he and Fields made another nice sideline connection that went incomplete because Robinson landed out of bounds.)

We can’t help but be worried about this offense on whole and the situation for the rookie QB, which necessarily adds risk to Robinson. You’ll find him down the WR rankings for this week and the rest of the season. A Week 4 matchup with Detroit does offer rebound potential vs. the much more talented Browns defense, though.

Week 2
Robinson was able to salvage his fantasy day with a TD despite catching just 2 of his 4 targets for 24 yards. From a yardage total, he wasn’t far off from the 35 yards he produced in Week 1 despite seeing 11 targets.

The good news for Robinson going forward is that Justin Fields should be under center. "Should" being the key word as there is no telling what Matt Nagy will do. Fields would open up so much for an offense that refuses to throw down field despite having Robinson, Darnell Mooney and Marquise Goodwin.

Robinson saw 3 of his 4 targets from Fields, including 2 attempts into the end zone. If Robinson can see the volume from Week 1 combined with a higher air yards he should be the fantasy monster many pegged him for coming into the season.

Week 1
It was a tough night for Robinson and the Bears receiving corps in this opening game against a very talented Rams defense and Jalen Ramsey. Robinson did lead the team with 11 targets, but Andy Dalton wasn’t able to push the ball downfield at all in this game and Robinson was held down all night. Robinson finished the night with 6 catches for 35 yards. It was a disappointing night for the veteran receiver, but these are few and far between. On a positive note, Robinson was in for 91% of the snaps.

This guy is too talented to be held below 40 receiving yards again. Robinson could be in for a big performance this week against a Bengals defense that just gave up over 350 receiving yards in Week 1. We have him ranked at WR12 this week against Cincinnati. We believe Robinson is going to bounce back and have another huge year, especially once Justin Fields gets into the starting job for the Bears. We have him ranked at WR9 the rest of the way.

Preseason Player Analysis

What You Need to Know:

Robinson ranked 9th among PPR wideouts last season, with Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky playing so well that the Bears paid Andy Dalton $10 million on the open market.
Robinson checked in 7th at the position in 2019, with Trubisky tying for 28th in PFF passing grade (among 39 QBs with 140+ dropbacks).
He broke out back in Jacksonville as a 22-year-old NFL sophomore, snagging 14 TDs and ranking top-6 across fantasy formats with Blake Bortles slinging it.
Robinson’s QB history has been so rough, that either Dalton or Justin Fields would be an upgrade.
Fields ranked 2nd among 154 draft-eligible QBs in Pro Football Focus’ adjusted completion rate for 2020 -- trailing only Mac Jones. PFF deemed him “one of the most accurate quarterbacks we’ve ever charted.”
Robinson spent less time in the slot in 2020 than in either of his 2 previous Bears seasons: 29.4%, down from 41.3% and 39.0%.
He posted his best yards-per-route-run rate as a Bear, tying for 20th among 115 wideouts with 30+ targets. That came despite a career-low 10.1 ADOT.
Robinson has dropped just 6 passes across 3 seasons in Chicago.
The Bears sported the 11th and 6th most pass-heavy offenses the past 2 years.

Draft Sharks Bottom Line:

You probably already know that Robinson has been really good so far in the NFL. It gets even more impressive when you consider how poor his QB play has been. Justin Fields has the chance to immediately raise the ceiling from that end, potentially upgrading both the downfield production and overall accuracy. Even if Chicago opens the year with Andy Dalton, the veteran could stabilize the position vs. the crap carousel that was Foles-Trubisky.

Robinson belongs in WR1 territory in drafts and might even be slightly undervalued at his WR13 ADP in FFPC best-ball drafting right now.
