Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or DeMario Douglas

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a compelling but volatile fantasy option for Week 3 after the best game of his career. Robinson exploded for 24.2 fantasy points against the Cowboys, hauling in 8 of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, earning high praise from quarterback Russell Wilson. While fantasy managers may question if he can repeat this performance, he gets an ideal opportunity against a vulnerable Kansas City Chiefs secondary. The Chiefs rank as the 25th-best defense against fantasy wide receivers, allowing a generous 39.95 points per game to the position, making Robinson a high-upside WR3/flex play this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is no longer worth rostering in redraft leagues after his snap share took a massive decline last week. Douglas played just 25 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2, commanding only one target. With drastically reduced usage, Douglas can be dropped in most fantasy leagues and should be avoided ahead of Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This matchup is particularly concerning for Douglas, who has played 76.7 percent of his snaps in the slot this season. Pittsburgh has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers. Managers can find much better options than Douglas this week.
