Where should you draft Robinson?

Robinson’s fantasy value should get a boost this year with the arrival of QBs Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr., who was drafted with the 8th pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

Robinson will become even more of a threat on the ground now that he has experience at the pro level and will also become a bigger threat in the passing game, which adds tremendous value when drafting him. With an offense that includes WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts, Robinson will play a key role on the team.

Draft Robinson in the 1st round as soon as McCaffrey is off the board. He’s good for 1,100 yards and 10 TD, an expected jump from his rookie year stats. He’s even more valuable in PPR leagues because of how often he’s targeted.
