New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson finally returned to the lineup in Week 6 after suffering a knee injury in Week 1. After a solid fantasy performance in the win against the Baltimore Ravens, the 2022 second-round pick is back on the fantasy radar.
He joins a long list of rookie wideouts with real fantasy intrigue and should be a hot name on the waiver wire heading into Week 7.
The Giants have plenty of room for a wide receiver to step up in the offense, so is Wan'Dale Robinson the guy to target?

What Did Wan'Dale Robinson Do Last Week?
In the narrow victory over the Ravens, Robinson caught three of his four targets for 37 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Robinson played only 15 snaps (fifth among Giants wide receivers), so this could be just the start of a breakout campaign.
Ultimately, he commanded targets when he was on the field, so that's all that matters. After his knee held up and he was efficient, expect head coach Brian Daboll to get him more snaps and more opportunities.
Should I Pick Wan'Dale Robinson Off The Waiver Wire In Fantasy Football?
Robinson is a top-tier waiver add for Week 7 among fantasy managers that need wide receiver help. Kadarius Toney (hamstring) has been nursing an injury for a few weeks, but even when he was active, he wasn't involved in the Giants' offense. Sterling Shepard (knee) is out for the season, and Kenny Golladay (knee) is also banged up and not productive when he's playing.
That leaves Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson, David Sills, and Richie James as the target competition for Robinson. It's only a matter of time before he takes over as a top-two option in a much-improved offense led by Daniel Jones. The Giants spent precious draft capital on Robinson, so he's going to get the edge sooner or later.
Robinson is far from a must-start yet, but he's poised for a breakout and could be at least a weekly WR3 at some point this season. The waiver wire is thin at wideout, so feel free to be generous with your FAAB for Robinson.
