Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Marvin Mims Jr.

Friday, October 24, 6:48 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is riding a hot streak and warrants a starting spot in Week 8 as the team's unquestioned top target. He is the 21st-ranked fantasy WR on the season, averaging 10.61 Fantasy Points Per Game, and is operating with an 81.3% snap percentage. Robinson torched this Eagles secondary two weeks ago with six catches, 84 yards, and a touchdown, a performance he followed up last week with 95 yards on 12 targets. Although the Eagles' defense has been stingy against receiving touchdowns, Robinson has a favorable matchup, facing an opponent that ranks 22nd against fantasy WRs (allowing 34.11 points against). His high volume and recent success against this divisional foe make him a reliable WR2/Flex option.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. entered concussion protocol following Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. The team never announced an injury status for Mims mid-game, so it's unclear exactly when he suffered the injury. It may have occurred with 4:39 left in the fourth quarter when Mims returned a kick 26 yards. He finished the game with two punt returns and three kick returns. On offense, he was unable to haul in his lone target. The 23-year-old faces an uphill battle to clear concussion protocol in the seven days between now and Denver's Week 9 contest against the Houston Texans. Perhaps Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders is a more reasonable date to target for Mims' return to action. Pat Bryant will likely step up as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.
