Who Should I Start? Brandon Allen or Wan'Dale Robinson

Sunday, November 24, 10:50 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brandon Allen didn't have much to work with during a 38-10 loss to the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. Filling in for starter Brock Purdy (shoulder), the sixth-year career backup went 17-of-29 for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Allen was behind the eight ball from the beginning, getting his first start since the 2021 season on the road against a quality defense with future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) out. Allen wasn't perfect but made some quality throws, including the three-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle. San Francisco's receivers didn't do Allen many favors, most notably Deebo Samuel Sr., who conspicuously dropped two passes, including the one that directly caused Allen's only interception. A number of drive-stalling offensive penalties and San Francisco's inability to win in the trenches on run plays didn't help, either. Purdy's status for Week 13 at Buffalo is still up in the air, so Allen could be in line for another start, but won't be recommended in standard leagues.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson caught all five of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, averaging 9.4 yards per reception. His 16-yard longest catch was a solid contribution in a game where the Giants offense was largely ineffective, with just 192 total passing yards and a 23-0 deficit at halftime. Robinson's 7.2 fantasy points fell slightly below his season average of 8.12, reflecting the struggles of the Giants' passing game under quarterback Tommy Devito. While Robinson's reliability in catching all his targets is encouraging, the team's offensive woes and lack of scoring opportunities make him a low-ceiling flex option in most fantasy formats.
