Who Should I Start? Allen Robinson or Jamison Crowder

Thursday, September 26, 1:12 PM

The Detroit Lions signed veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson II to their active roster on Thursday. Robinson joins Tim Patrick in being elevated from the practice squad to the active roster this week to give the team more insurance at the receiver position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond and Isaiah Williams (abdomen). In the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Patrick was on the field more than Robinson and caught his only target for an eight-yard gain. Robinson, meanwhile, only played one offensive snap and wasn't targeted. The 31-year-old is strictly receiver depth in Detroit right now and should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats. Last year in 17 starts for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Robinson managed 34 receptions on 49 targets for only 280 yards and no touchdowns.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is not ready to have his practice window opened, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The veteran in his 10th NFL season was placed on Injured Reserve on October 2 and is eligible to return, but he is still working his way back from a calf injury. Crowder has tallied 432 receptions for 4,831 yards and 29 touchdowns in 119 career games with Washington, the New York Jets, and the Buffalo Bills, but he has become primarily a return specialist in recent years and is not on the fantasy football radar.
