Raiders coach McDaniels searching for dependable O-line

First-year Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has been searching this preseason for a dependable offensive line to protect Derek Carr once the start starts

Cut by Vegas The Raiders released Robinson on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact In a somewhat surprising development, Robinson was among the first round of Raiders cuts this month. The wide receiver has six years of NFL experience, all with the Chiefs, but he never surpassed 45 catches, 470 yards or four TDs in a given season. Robinson will seek out another opportunity elsewhere.

Two catches Sunday Robinson caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-20 preseason win over the Vikings.

Impact Robinson got to get some run as a starter with his new club Sunday due to all of the Raiders' resting regulars. The former Chief was able to get on the same page with fellow newcomer Jarrett Stidham on a couple of throws. Las Vegas' starting receiving unit is very top-heavy, so Robinson will have to carve out a backup role this preseason. His next opportunity will come against the Dolphins on Saturday in the second week of the NFL preseason.

Brings speed to Vegas WR corps Quarterback Derek Carr views Robinson as a player that can stretch the field for the Raiders this season, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Raiders have no shortage of precise route runners at wide receiver, as both Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow are known for that skill. Offseason addition Keelan Cole is another reliable route runner, while Robinson brings a different skill set, which has intrigued Carr. "Robinson has flashed that talent, that speed that we have seen happen against us for a few years," Carr said. "He's flashed those same things here, that ability to be someone that can stretch the field and also run the intermediate to short stuff and make something happen afterwards."

Signs with Raiders Robinson agreed Tuesday with the Raiders on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Robinson is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he recorded 25 catches on 41 targets for 264 yards and three TDs in 17 games with Kansas City. This coming season, the 27-year-old will compete with Bryan Edwards and Mack Hollins for the team's wide receiver looks that don't go to high-volume options Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow.

Season-high target count in Week 18 Robinson compiled three receptions for 19 yards on a season-high six targets during Saturday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Robinson's target volume matched the Week 6 count against the Football Team despite him playing just half of the offensive snaps, which ranks sixth-fewest among games he's appeared in this season by percentage. He didn't experience any gains as a receiver in 2021 and instead went the opposite direction, finishing with lower totals in receptions (25) and receiving yards (264) than last year's totals of 45 grabs for 466 yards while matching the touchdown total with three. Robinson's one-year deal is set to expire this offseason, so it remains to be seen what uniform he will don in 2022.

Tallies third TD of season Robinson hauled in both of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Bengals.

Impact Robinson hadn't reached pay dirt since Week 6 but hauled in a touchdown pass to get the scoring started Sunday. Even though his playing time remains relatively high, Robinson is still a shaky, at best, option from a fantasy perspective.

Another slow day Robinson posted a pair of catches for 15 yards on his two targets Sunday versus the Steelers.

Impact Robinson had some mild success in the early part of the schedule but has done very little to impact the offense for a while, compiling just 10 catches for 86 yards on 17 targets over the team's last nine games. There's nothing to suggest his involvement will increase in the coming weeks.

Can't corral a pass Robinson was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Robinson has gone without a catch in each of the last two games and three of the last four despite playing 40 percent or more of the offensive snaps in every contest. Given that he hasn't tallied more than three catches in a game this season, it's pretty safe to leave him on the waiver wire in the vast majority of leagues.

Comes up empty Robinson was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Robinson has gone without a target in two of the last three games and has just three games all season with more than two receptions. Until further notice, he can be discounted in the vast majority of season-long fantasy leagues.
