Fantasy Upside
Allen Robinson had 26% of the Bears’ targets in 2019 as he quietly had a strong season. Robinson finished 98-1,147-7, making him the No. 8 wide receiver in fantasy (PPR). It’s pretty incredible Robinson was able to play as well as he did despite having Mitch Trubisky at QB. Robinson was the focal point at WR, finishing with 154 targets, which was third-highest in the league. His role hasn’t changed heading into 2020, and he should be the No. 1 threat in Chicago’s offense again.
Fantasy Downside
Robinson has played six seasons, three of which were marred with injuries. He was able to play in all 16 games last season, but health is a factor with Robinson. He’s also in a poor offense with quarterback problems, no matter who wins the starting job between Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles. A decrease in targets is also likely as Chicago added some additional offensive threats this offseason including Ted Ginn Jr., Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet.
2020 Bottom Line
While Chicago’s offense isn’t too exciting, you can usually rely on Robinson to produce when healthy. He finished as WR8 last year and has an ADP of WR13 at the moment. He turns 27 this year, which is still a good age for receivers. We don’t expect a massive dropoff in production, and in fact could see better production if Foles comes in. Robinson is a WR1 talent who can be drafted slightly later, making him a solid value pick.
