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

Saturday, July 12, 10:27 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has repeatedly expressed his displeasure regarding his role throughout the offseason. The 24-year-old, who played nearly 80% of his snaps in the slot last season, is hoping to get more action on the outside in 2025, potentially opening the door for additional downfield catches. He is coming off his best season with the Giants, amassing career-highs in receptions (93), receiving yards (699) and touchdowns (three). Robinson was also one of the NFL's most targeted receivers inside the red zone. With new quarterbacks under center, specifically, Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart, it could take time for the offense to get on the same page. At the same time, Malik Nabers is the No. 1 option on the depth chart, leaving little room for anyone else to be involved. However, Robinson may get his wish if Nabers or Darius Slayton get injured at some point during the year. Even then, Robinson isn't expected to be a consistent fantasy producer.

Patriots.com's Evan Lazar writes that along with wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee), New England Patriots pass-catchers DeMario Douglas and third-round rookie Kyle Williams are "locks" to make the 53-man roster. Mack Hollins also has a very strong chance of making the team. Douglas, 24, was the highest-rated Patriots receiver in ESPN's receiver score metric, finishing 25th among qualified pass-catchers. He had 66 catches for 621 yards and three touchdowns on 87 targets in his second NFL season and is set to reprise his role in the slot for the Pats in 2025. A lot of Douglas' early-season fantasy value will depend on whether Diggs is ready to start the regular season or not, and if he is, how effective he'll be. Douglas should see enough volume to be worth a late-round PPR flier in deeper leagues, but the Patriots also have much more competition at the position than they did a year ago.
