Wan'Dale Robinson: A High-Volume Flex Option Despite Tough Matchup
As the New York Giants face off against the Detroit Lions in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season, fantasy football managers are keeping a close eye on wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson. Currently ranked as the 34th-best wide receiver in fantasy points per game, Robinson has carved out a consistent role as the team’s high-volume slot receiver. Despite being in a challenging matchup against a Lions defense that has made strides, he remains a reliable option, especially in PPR (points per reception) formats.
Robinson's season has been marked by impressive numbers. With a 24.1% target share, he's been a key figure in the Giants' passing game, averaging 58 receiving yards per game. His 1.73 yards per route run speaks to his efficiency, and with a 28.9% first-read share, it’s clear that quarterback Daniel Jones frequently looks to Robinson early in the play. This volume has kept Robinson relevant for fantasy purposes, even if he’s not necessarily posting big touchdowns or explosive yardage games. His ability to contribute consistently through targets has kept him in flex consideration for fantasy owners.

Another highlight of Robinson's role is his involvement in the red zone, with seven red zone targets, and his ability to stretch the field with deep targets. Surprising to some, Robinson has seen 13 deep targets this season, proving that he can be a threat even on long passes. However, a tough Week 12 matchup against Detroit’s defense, which has been much improved since Week 7, adds some uncertainty. The Lions have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers, as well as the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game to that position.
This defensive trend might limit Robinson’s ceiling this week, but his consistent target share and high-volume role make him a safe option for fantasy managers needing a steady flex play. In fact, Robinson's steady production of 7.5–13.6 PPR points in recent weeks shows that, even without explosive performances, his consistent involvement can be valuable, particularly in PPR leagues where volume is king.
While Robinson may not have the highest ceiling compared to other top-tier wide receivers, his role in the Giants' offense as a primary option in the slot makes him a valuable, if unspectacular, fantasy asset. For those in deeper leagues or looking for a steady performer to fill in during bye weeks or injuries, Robinson is a solid choice to help keep your fantasy team competitive, even against a defense that’s tough on slot receivers.
