Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Wan'Dale Robinson

Sunday, October 5, 10:46 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. stayed heavily involved in the team's offense with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) missing a second straight game on Sunday on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. Samuel led the team in targets (11), receptions (eight), and receiving yards (96) while catching his third touchdown of the season in the 27-10 victory in Week 5 in quarterback Jayden Daniels' return from a knee sprain. The 29-year-old has had a nice bounce-back season in 2025 so far in his first year in Washington while being the team's most consistent pass-catcher. Through the first five weeks, Samuel has 346 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. As long as he can stay healthy, Samuel should continue to be a must-start in fantasy lineups, even when McLaurin returns from his quad injury. Samuel will have quite a bit of upside in Week 6 on Monday night against the Chicago Bears, especially if McLaurin misses a third game.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is one of the week's most intriguing fantasy plays following the season-ending injury to Malik Nabers. Now the primary target for rookie QB Jaxson Dart, Robinson, who already ranks as the WR29, will see a significant volume increase from his already impressive 27 targets and 76% snap share. He faces a New Orleans Saints secondary that presents a favorable matchup for a team's top option. While the Saints are 13th in passing yards allowed, they have been susceptible to scoring, giving up the second-most passing touchdowns (9) in the NFL and ranking 19th against fantasy wide receivers.
