WanDale Robinson could have a different kind of Giants breakout with Russell Wilson

It wouldn’t be a surprise if an achy Wan’Dale Robinson falls asleep at night dreaming of catching a pass in stride, turning upfield and weaving through missed tackles on his way to a big gain.No receiver in NFL history ever has complained about getting too many targets.After all, the title of Keyshawn Johnson’s memoir wasn’t “Just Share the Damn Ball!”But Robinson (93 catches for 699 yards on 140 targets) is coming off one of the most unusual high-volume receiving seasons of all time and looking forward to expanding his repertoire beyond just the duty to run a five-yard route and get smacked.“Obviously, I like being a guy that the quarterbacks can rely on to just be there whenever, so that way you have a completion,” Robinson said.“But I want to impact the game a little bit more, too … with a couple big plays.”Of the 374 NFL receiving seasons since 1992 with at least 140 targets, Robinson’s was just the second (Chris Chambers, 2006 Dolphins) to result in fewer than 700 yards.What’s crazier? Of the 311 receiving seasons in the Super Bowl era with at least 90 catches, Robinson’s was the first to result in fewer than 700 yards, per Pro Football Reference.There is something to be said for quality over quantity.“I definitely think I’ll be moved around a little bit more,” said Robinson, who played 77.7 percent of his snaps in the slot.

“Might be outside a little bit more, get some deeper shots down the field.But just going to continue to get open and be a valuable target for our quarterbacks.”Robinson could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the change at quarterback to Russell Wilson — and eventually to rookie Jaxson Dart — after the failed six-year Daniel Jones Era.The former second-round pick averaged 4.1 yards-after-catch per reception last season — only 0.3 over expected, per NextGenStats.

Considering his 5-foot-8 stature and shiftiness, that number needs to be higher to justify both his workload and a significant pay...
