Fantasy Upside
Not too long ago, Allen Robinson was the talk of the fantasy football world. In 2015, he had a monster 80-catch, 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown season. He gets a fresh start in Chicago this season under playcaller Matt Nagy, where he’s projected to be the top option in the passing game. The Bears brought Robinson in for a reason, and that’s because they want him featured in this offense.
Fantasy Downside
While Robinson lit it up in 2015, he had a down year in 2016 before missing (mostly) all of 2017 with an ACL tear. He also struggled with injuries as a rookie (broken foot) so there’s still a concern about whether he can stay healthy. It may also take some time for him to fully understand a new offensive system while recovering from a serious injury.
2018 Bottom Line
Robinson is a very talented wideout who gets a change of scenery. On paper, he should get better quarterback play this season in an offense better suited to his talents. Robinson is an interesting prospect, who could produce high-end WR2 numbers in 2018 and can be selected near the fifth round.
