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

Thursday, January 8, 12:08 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was the team's leading receiver in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos and he caught seven passes, his most since a season-high 11 grabs back on Oct. 19. However, Allen had just 36 yards on Sunday with backup quarterback Trey Lance getting the starting nod with the Bolts resting Justin Herbert. The week prior, the 33-year-old Allen had just one catch for 17 yards in the loss to the Houston Texans. Allen has not scored since Week 7 and hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards in a contest since Week 11 against the Jaguars. He is a trustworthy security blanket for Herbert, the problem is that L.A.'s beat-up offensive line doesn't give Herbert much time to find his receivers. All of the Chargers' wideouts are shaky fantasy options going into the postseason against a Patriots defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest half-PPR points per game to WRs in the last five weeks.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) said he fractured his ribs in the first half of the Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. Robinson finished playing in that game to get to 1,000 yards, but an MRI exam the following day revealed he played through fractured ribs. The 25-year-old was held out of the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The impending free agent wideout said that he will take everything into account before deciding on whether to re-sign with the Giants or play elsewhere in 2026 and beyond. Robinson was a beast for fantasy managers in PPR leagues in 2025, catching 92 of his 140 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. He should be fully healthy way ahead of training camp and the preseason, but his fantasy value could change drastically next year if he leaves the Giants.
