The New York Giants have not seen much success at the receiver position this year. A big reason for that is the injury bug; Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, and Wan'Dale Robinson have all been affected.
Robinson, a rookie, has a chance to play this week though after missing the past four games. This could be a big development for both the Giants and fantasy managers.
Will Robinson be playing today? Should fantasy managers put him into their lineups? Below, this article will explore Robinson's injury status and short-term outlook.

Is Wan'Dale Robinson Playing In Week 6 Against the Ravens?
Wan'Dale Robinson suffered a knee injury in New York's season opener against Tennessee and has not played since. He has been listed as questionable for today's game, though.
The #Giants ruled out WR Kenny Golladay, WR Kadarius Toney and S Tony Jefferson for Sunday‘s game vs. the #Ravens. DT Leonard Williams and WR Wan'Dale Robinson are questionable, while OLB Azeez Ojulari is doubtful.

Robinson has reportedly been trending upwards health-wise, but the team is making no guarantees about his availability.
Wan’Dale Robinson will practice again today and sounds like he is progressing toward possible return Sunday. Daboll won’t commit to that with us this morning, though. #Giants

It's also important to note that Golladay and Toney have already been ruled out. If Robinson does indeed play, he would compete for targets with Darius Slayton, Richie James, and David Sills V.
Should I Start Wan'Dale Robinson This Week in Fantasy Football?
Assuming Robinson plays, he has a shot at high volume against Baltimore. With the team still hurting at wideout, Robinson's competition for targets is uninspiring. Pair that with a matchup versus the Ravens, who have yielded the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, and you have a recipe for a strong performance.
On the other hand, New York's offense is very dependent on running back Saquon Barkley. The Giants have run the ball the third-most times in the league in 2022, and they have the fourth-fewest pass attempts. The ceiling for Giants receivers is not very high. Moreover, we have barely seen Robinson in the NFL yet; he ran just four routes in Week 1 before exiting.
Starting Robinson would be way too much of a risk to be a wise decision. While the potential for a breakout game is there, the odds that he busts are simply too high. He is a great candidate to stash off of your league's waiver wire, however.
