Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson is looking to reclaim his career after spending 4 years each with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears. Fantasy owners are all too familiar with the ups and downs of Robinson’s career. In the 4 seasons in which he played in all 16 games, he has topped 1,100 receiving yards in 3 of them (and 883 in the other). But that also tells you he has missed time in the other 4 seasons of his career.
Below, we look at Allen Robinson’s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Robinson hit bottom last season with the worst year of his career. But it highlighted the fact that Robinson has never played with an elite quarterback – or even a mid-level QB. Matthew Stafford is by far the best quarterback Robinson will have throwing to him and there is reason to believe that, if Stafford’s elbow is good to go for the season, Robinson could once again be a darling of the fantasy football community.
Allen Robinson’s ADP: 57.17
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Robinson’s landing spot in ADP numbers has him being selected in the 6th round in 10-player drafts. He is far from alone. Between picks 51 and 60, there are 7 wide receivers in that grouping — representing one of the biggest runs on wide receivers in draft scenarios.
Robinson is at the end of this run. His ADP finds him narrowly behind Adam Thielen (Minnesota Vikings) at 54.58 and Brandin Cooks (Houston Texans) at 55.74 and slightly ahead of Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints) at 59.47.

Where should you draft Robinson?
Robinson is ranked out as the No. 24 wide receiver, when tends to drop you into the category of elite No. 2 receivers for teams or No. 1 receivers on offenses with some question marks.
It can’t be overstated that Stafford is head and shoulders better than any QB Robinson has played with and, for the 1st time in his career, Robinson is no longer being viewed as a WR1 – Cooper Kupp is clearly that player. I would have him ahead of Cooks and pushing to go past Thielen because the Rams lost a lot of talent at wide receiver when Robert Woods left in free agency and Odell Beckham Jr. shredded his ACL in the Super Bowl.
Somebody has to step in to replace that production and few players have the talent and ability to do that more than Robinson.
