As expected, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) sat out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday night. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Robinson could be limited in the early portion of the week because of the ankle injury, but it sounds like he should have a chance to play in Week 4 against the Houston Texans if he makes progress later in the week. The 30-year-old has failed to take advantage of Diontae Johnson (hamstring) being on Injured Reserve early in the year, catching 11 of 15 targets for 100 yards and no touchdowns through three games. If he's out or limited this Sunday, Calvin Austin III and George Pickens would see even more targets as the top two wideouts.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and could be limited early in the week in practice. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury for Robinson, but don't be surprised if he's held out of the team's first official practice this week on Wednesday. The 30-year-old veteran hasn't exactly capitalized on Diontae Johnson's hamstring injury in the first three weeks of the season, hauling in 11 of his 15 targets for 100 yards and no touchdowns in his first three games in Pittsburgh. It would be a surprise if he was unable to play this Sunday against the Houston Texans, but A-Rob has so far been an uninspiring WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson III led the team's receivers in snaps last week but finished with just two receptions for 12 yards. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Robinson should continue to play on a healthy amount of snaps until Diontae Johnson (hamstring) returns, but George Pickens established himself as the focal point of Pittsburgh's passing attack in Week 2. Although he may be more effective in this soft matchup against Las Vegas than he was against the Cleveland Browns, Robinson cannot be counted on in starting fantasy lineups on Sunday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II secured two of his three targets for 12 yards in a 26-22 victory against the Cleveland Browns. Robinson, who led the team in targets and receiving yards in Week 1, was expected to see additional opportunities with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) sidelined in Week 2, but the veteran was unable to make an impact on Monday night. Pittsburgh's inefficient offense certainly didn't do him any favors as the team turned the ball over or punted on nine of its 14 possessions. Although Robinson should continue to operate as the Steelers' WR2 for at least the next three games with Johnson on Injured Reserve, it's difficult to project him for any worthwhile fantasy production. The 30-year-old will hope to be more involved in a Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II was the most productive pass-catcher on the team last week and could be even more involved in a Week 2 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) ruled out, Robinson is expected to lead Pittsburgh's receiver corps alongside second-year pro George Pickens. The Browns' defense was solid against opposing wideouts in 2022, but Robinson should see plenty of targets on Monday night and could surprise for fantasy purposes. In deeper leagues, the 30-year-old can be considered as a possible flex option this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II secured five of his eight targets for a team-high 64 yards in a 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Robinson had just 11 yards at halftime but saw more opportunities in the second half after Diontae Johnson (hamstring) was forced to exit. The veteran was on the receiving end of Pittsburgh's longest play from scrimmage, a 31-yard pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett on the team's final drive. Pickett and the Steelers showed a willingness to spread the ball around as seven players earned at least four targets, but Robinson could still be an intriguing addition off of fantasy waiver wires should Johnson miss extended time. A divisional matchup against the Cleveland Browns is on tap for Week 2.
