Four offensive snaps in win Robinson failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 victory over Houston.
Impact Robinson played just four offensive snaps in the contest, operating as an extreme depth option at wide receiver once again in Week 10. Robinson had seen a slight uptick in usage over the past two weeks, but with Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension versus the Texans, Robinson reverted back to the bench. Over five games with the Lions in 2024, Robinson has caught one of three targets for two yards.

Two-yard catch in win Robinson caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
Impact Robinson was expected to see an increased role over the last two weeks with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, but he logged only 31 offensive snaps combined versus the Titans and Packers, catching one of two targets for two yards. With Williams returning in Week 10 against the the Texans, Robinson will once again carry no fantasy value in Detroit's offense.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Increased role expected Head coach Dan Campbell stated Wednesday that Robinson will take on a heavy load against the Titans on Sunday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Impact Robinson was signed to the Lions' active roster Sept. 26, but he has only appeared in two games, seeing limited snaps and a single target. However, with Jameson Williams expected to be serving the first of a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances, there will be plenty of snaps up for grabs at wide receiver.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Signed to active roster The Lions signed Robinson off their practice squad Thursday.
Impact Robinson becomes the second Lions receiver this week to get a promotion from the practice squad, after Tim Patrick signed with Detroit on Tuesday. Both wideouts were elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's win over the Cardinals, but Patrick (34 offensive snaps) saw significantly more playing time than Robinson (one snap). Expect Patrick to continue serving as the preferred No. 3 wideout behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, while Robinson contends with the likes of Kalif Raymond and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) for any reps that linger at receiver.

Goes back to practice squad Robinson reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Robinson saw just one snap during Sunday's 20-13 win at Arizona and did not record any stats. As long as Detroit continues to lean on its running game and Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain available, it's difficult to imagine any other Lions wideout having any fantasy relevance.

THE DAILY DRIVE: Lions elevate wide receivers Tim Patrick, Allen Robinson from practice squad I'm picking Detroit Lions over Cardinals and I'll make you a guarantee about their offense
SEPTEMBER 22 • DETROITLIONS.COM
Gets elevated from practice squad The Lions elevated Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Impact Robinson wasn't able to secure a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2014 second-round pick opted to stick around on Detroit's practice squad. He played 17 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 34 catches (on 49 targets) for 280 yards.

Signs with Detroit's practice squad Robinson signed with Detroit's practice squad Wednesday, ,a href="https://x.com/FieldYates/status/1828889318867513715">Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Robinson's best days are behind him, as the three-time 1,000-yard receiver had just 1,029 receiving yards combined over the last three regular seasons between the Bears, Rams and Steelers, then failed to secure a roster spot on cut-down day with the Giants. Nonetheless, the 31-year-old Robinson has a chance to eventually move up to the active roster for a Lions team that's currently carrying only four healthy wide receivers.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Can't secure roster spot The Giants are releasing Robinson on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Robinson finds himself among New York's initial cuts as the team trims down to a 53-man roster. The veteran wideout signed with the Giants back in May, but it appears he couldn't show enough in training camp and the preseason to cement a depth role for himself. Robinson will be free to search for a reserve gig elsewhere in the league, and he could also be a candidate to resurface on the team's practice squad.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
On roster bubble Robinson recorded one reception on one target for four yards in Saturday's preseason 10-6 loss to the Jets.
Impact Robinson's stat line doesn't have much meaning, but the fact that he suited up was not a positive sign of his status on the Giants' roster. The team sat their top four receivers -- all of whom are certain to make the roster -- leaving Robinson and Isiah Hodgins to start the game. However, with special teams contributors such as Miles Boykin and Isaiah McKenzie (knee/foot) also vying for roster spots, Robinson could be on the wrong side of the bubble.

Steelers release CB Patrick Peterson, WR Allen Robinson II in cost-cutting moves

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson and wide receiver Allen Robinson II in cost-cutting moves ahead of the start of free agency next week

Steelers Release Veteran WR Allen Robinson The Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on after just one season.
MARCH 8 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Cut by Steelers, as expected Pittsburgh is releasing Robinson on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Robinson and veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson are both being cut by the Steelers, saving roughly $10 and $7 million against the cap for the team, respectively. Even though he started all 17 games last season and played a hefty 741 offensive snaps, Robinson concluded the 2023 campaign with just 34 catches for 280 yards on 49 targets, without a touchdown. Now heading into his age-31 campaign, the veteran wideout may be able to latch on as a No. 3 option elsewhere in the league if he agrees to an affordable salary, but his days of fantasy relevance may well be over.

Steelers Want Allen Robinson Back Under One Condition The Pittsburgh Steelers want to retain Allen Robinson but only if they can work out different conditions.
MARCH 5 • SACBEE.COM
Limited results again in 2023 Robinson secured 34 of 49 targets for 280 yards over 17 games in 2023.
Impact Although Robinson appeared in every game this season, his decline in production continued during his first year in Pittsburgh. He averaged under 10 yards per reception for the first time in his career, and his 280 receiving yards represented a career-low mark over a full season. Part of his struggles can attributed to the Steelers' lack of offensive production for most of the year, but the 30-year-old's results have trended downward over the past three seasons. If he remains Pittsburgh in 2024, it seems unlikely that he'd see a significant increase in production.

Logs three receptions in defeat Robinson secured all three of his targets for 19 yards during the Steelers' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Saturday.
Impact The Steelers were unable to return to the win column during Saturday's matchup, and Robinson's role remained limited. He's been held below five targets in each of his nine appearances since Pittsburgh's Week 6 bye, and he's secured 13 of 18 targets for 107 yards during that time.
DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Held to one catch Sunday Robinson secured his lone target for 11 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact Although the Steelers looked much better offensively in Week 12 following the recent firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Robinson remained limited during the victory. While he topped 20 receiving yards in three of his first five appearances with the Steelers, he's secured just six of nine targets for 48 yards over the past six weeks and is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the team's other pass catchers are healthy.

Rams accelerated roster rebuild with whiff on 2022 trade for Brian Burns

After an offseason spent clearing out cap space and rebuilding with younger players, Rams are better than expected this year.

Rams accelerated roster rebuild with whiff on 2022 trade for Brian Burns
Minimal workload in Week 7 Robinson secured his lone target for seven yards during the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact The 30-year-old put together some relatively encouraging performances over the past few weeks while Diontae Johnson was sidelined, but Robinson's role within the Steelers' offense decreased once Johnson was back in action. Robinson hasn't topped 30 receiving yards in any of the last five games and is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option now that the team's receiver room is back to full strength.
