Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Chase Brown

Monday, January 5, 12:53 PM

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.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (illness) returned to practice on Friday and will play on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Brown's availability for this weekend was in question after he missed the first two practices of the week due to illness. The 25-year-old will be ready to roll on Sunday, though, as he seeks the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. He heads into the final weekend of the regular season with 219 carries for 947 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground, adding a career-high 65 catches on 82 targets for 419 yards and four more touchdowns. Brown has been money for fantasy managers down the stretch and needs to remain in all starting lineups against Cleveland. In the season opener against the Browns, Brown had 21 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown.
