Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Wan'Dale Robinson

Tuesday, October 7, 7:36 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his hot start to the season in a 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Jones completed 20 of his 29 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout victory. The veteran quarterback's performance has been one of the best stories of the season as he now has thrown for 1,290 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding three more rushing touchdowns. Jones will now prepare to host an Arizona Cardinals defense that has been tough on opposing passers this year. That being said, Jones has been consistent enough to trust as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a low-end WR3/flex option for Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, largely due to his volume in the short passing game. Ranked as the WR32 with an average of 8.88 fantasy points per game, Robinson's 78.3% snap percentage and team-high 22.7% target share (on 34 targets) point to a strong PPR floor, highlighted by his 23 receptions for 267 yards this season. However, the matchup is difficult as the Eagles have been a tough fantasy defense against wide receivers, ranking 16th and allowing an average of 21.4 fantasy points per game to the position. Furthermore, Philadelphia's red zone defense is elite, ranking 3rd with a 42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate, which will challenge Robinson's low-depth targets and his 3 end-zone targets. Given the Giants' implied team total of 17.25 points and rookie QB Jaxson Dart's third start, Robinson's upside is capped, making him a safer PPR option than a high-ceiling one.
