2022 Fantasy Upside
Fantasy drafters have waited eight years for Allen Robinson to play with an elite quarterback. The 28-year-old wideout finally has that chance with the Rams, and the potential exists for Robinson to have his best season since his 1,400-yard, 14 touchdown campaign in 2014. He brings elite size, burst, and a massive catch radius: great assets for Matthew Stafford to utilize in one of the NFL’s best offensive attacks. Now serving as the WR2 alongside Cooper Kupp, Robinson should have an even bigger mismatch against opposing defenses. His ADP has continued to rise throughout the summer in high-stakes fantasy leagues.
2022 Fantasy Downside
The presence of Kupp certainly limits Robinson’s upside, and fantasy drafters may be forgetting that with his fast-rising ADP. Robinson served as the alpha wide receiver in both Jacksonville and Chicago, how will he adjust to being the team’s WR2? It is also worth noting he is coming off his worst overall season of his career, tallying just 38 receptions, 410 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 12 games played.
2022 Bottom Line
There is certainly reason for optimism with Robinson on the Rams, and his talent has waited for an opportunity to play with a quarterback like Matthew Stafford. He is being drafted as a low-end WR2, on a team that has already shown it can support multiple Top-24 wideouts with Kupp and Robert Woods. His fantasy ceiling may be capped, but Robinson’s talent in this offense should reinforce a low-end WR2 floor.
