Wan'Dale Robinson WR PFF grade jumping

[DaveBrown74]

I think Wan'Dale is a solid player but I don't get the effusive praise of him. He's respectable -- good even -- but I don't see how he is better than that. He has three receiving touchdowns (four total) as a pro, and we're now in year three. I understand he has missed some games, but even on a per game basis we're talking 36.5 receiving yards per game (41 this season).

To me Wan'Dale is a nice complementary player, not unlike Cole Beasley was in his prime (though Wan'Dale has not even achieved this level yet), but I have not seen anything to suggest he is anything more than that.

I am with you Jeff.  WanDale has only had 3 games above 10 yards per catch.  His range is consistently 7.3 - 9.0.  Nothing noteworthy about that.

I think the point is he is showing signs of improvement.  With an actual #1 WR on the team, it should open up more space for Robinson to be even more effective.

If that is in fact the point, then I agree with that. However, I saw words like "stud" and claims that Wan'Dale is as good as anyone in the NFL after the catch in this thread. Those kinds of descriptions I just can't get on board with, as much as I wish they were true.

If Wan'Dal was the #2 WR on the Chiefs, he'd be a hot fantasy pick.  Dude is talented.

I'll take Beasley's prime all day.

His stats would be much better with a better QB.

He's doing a great job at replacing Sterling Shepard - both are small and slippery, can find openings, good hands, YAC, etc. If he stays healthy, he'll surpass what Shepard did for us. But being small and taking hits, he could end up just like Shepard and spend more time on the IR than on the field. In the meantime, he could take over a role similar to the Tom Brady/Wes Welker hookup, that is, if play calling takes advantage of it
