Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Brock Bowers

Saturday, October 4, 1:25 AM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is trending toward missing Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star tight end is currently listed as questionable after missing his last two practice sessions. Rapoport notes that head coach Pete Carroll previously expressed optimism about Bowers' status, but his knee has not responded well, and he's trending in the wrong direction. Fantasy managers will get confirmation on his status at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Bowers is active, managers should start him in all leagues. If he doesn't play, managers can pivot to one of the top streamers on RotoBaller's Week 5 tight end rankings. Bowers' backup, Michael Mayer, could be a solid mid-to-high TE2 option.
