The New York Giants have a wide receiver who has outplayed his average draft position and is making his case for being a regular fantasy starter … and it’s not Malik Nabers.

Yes, the rookie has been fantastic in the stat sheets after four games, posting 23-plus PPR points in each of his last three contests. But Nabers was expected to be a fantasy starter. With his college resume and LSU background, we sort of knew he could be an instant star.

No, the wide receiver I’m talking about is Wan’Dale Robinson.

In Thursday night’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Robinson was targeted a bananas 14 times, catching 11 passes for 71 yards and scoring 18.1 fantasy points. He has now scored 11-plus points in three of his first four games, and he’s averaging 13.2 points.

That’s more than Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans and Jaylen Waddle.

Robinson has also been targeted 38 times, which is nearly 10 per game.

Still, the Giants slot man is owned in just 27.1% of ESPN leagues, 46% of Sleeper leagues and 26% of Yahoo! leagues. He’s actually appeared in two of my first three waiver wire add articles too, but apparently, no one believes he can continue this level of production.

If I had to guess, after Robinson had a huge fantasy performance on national television, his league ownership totals are going to increase. In fact, barring some injury to a big-time player (especially a running back), Robinson should be the top fantasy add for Week 5.
