Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II didn't get off to a good start to his Rams career.
In Robinson's debut with the team, the veteran receiver was targeted just twice, finishing with one catch for 12 yards.
After Robinson posted such a disappointing Week 1 result, should fantasy managers trust him this week against the Falcons?

What Did Allen Robinson Do In Week 1?
Allen Robinson II was expected to make a pretty big impact for the defending Super Bowl champions. But that didn't really turn out to be true in Week 1 against the Bills.
The bad from Week 1 is pretty apparent. Robinson was targeted twice, which is especially concerning when you consider Matthew Stafford threw 41 passes. Tyler Higbee was targeted 11 times. Ben Skowronek was targeted six times. What happened with Robinson?
But there are some reasons to feel encouraged. Robinson was on the field for 65 snaps, which was 97% of the Rams offensive snaps. He had the playing time of the team's No. 2 receiver, even though he didn't get the targets you would expect from a No. 2.
Should I Start Allen Robinson In Week 2 for Fantasy Football?
It's fair to worry about Allen Robinson after Week 1. Despite being on the field for 97% of the snaps, he did almost nothing with those snaps.
But it's too early to recommend benching Robinson. This Rams offense is projected to be one of the best in the league, and quarterback Matthew Stafford is going to continue to throw 40ish times per game.
More of those targets should go to Robinson. Of course, the keyword is should, because he should have had more targets last week. There are concerns about Stafford's arm and his ability to throw deep right now, but every week, his arm should be a little better—you'd think, at least.
Fantasy managers should give Robinson at least one more chance to bounceback as he takes on the Falcons this week. Atlanta let the Saints throw for 269 yards last week, with most of those targets going to wide receivers.
