Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Bucky Irving

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (undisclosed) got banged up in training camp practice on Sunday and was in pain, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Raanan added that Robinson appeared to injure his leg and limped off the field. However, he stayed outside and was riding a bike on the sidelines, indicating that the injury wasn't all that serious. We'll have an update on the 24-year-old when one comes out, but for now, he should probably be considered day-to-day. Robinson was great in PPR leagues in 2024 with a career-best 93 catches on 140 targets, but it led to just 699 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He's unlikely to be much of a big-play, downfield threat as long as Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton stay healthy. And some regression in receptions could be coming as well with quarterback Russell Wilson now leading the offense.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, who is expected to see more opportunities in 2025, has improved his footwork and pass protection, according to head coach Todd Bowles. "He got to where he needed to be, but his footwork wasn't always the cleanest last season," Bowles says. "He's cleaned that up." Despite only "starting" three games in 2024, Irving finished as the RB13 in point-per-reception scoring in fantasy in his rookie season by racking up 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 207 rushing attempts. He added 47 receptions on 52 targets for 392 yards through the air. The 22-year-old makes up for his lack of size and athleticism with excellent vision and a knack for breaking tackles in open space. The primary concern with Irving as it pertains to being a true RB1 is the question of whether he can be a true workhorse back and withstand all the physical punishment between the tackles.
