Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Josh Downs

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (undisclosed) and tight end Drew Ogletree (undisclosed) both miss Wednesday's voluntary practice with soft-tissue injuries. Downs has had his share of injuries already through two NFL seasons, so although it's early in the offseason, his health is worth watching closely the closer we get to training camp and the preseason. The 23-year-old former third-rounder (79th overall) in 2023 out of North Carolina took a small step forward in 2024 with a 72-803-5 line on 107 targets over 14 games (eight starts). A lot of his production last year came with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco under center, and his 5-foot-9, 171-pound frame limits his overall upside. Downs' 2025 fantasy value will likely hinge on who wins the Colts' QB competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
