2. Allen Robinson

During his short NFL career, Allen Robinson has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. After starting ten games as a rookie in 2014, Robinson burst onto the scene in 2015, as the former Penn State Nittany Lion led the NFL with 14 touchdowns. He is the main cog in the Jaguars offense, and should be in for a big game on Sunday.

Last season, Robinson started all 16 games for Jacksonville, racking up 1400 receiving yards. He was targeted nearly ten times per game, as he and quarterback Blake Bortles developed a nice repertoire with each other. That relationship is only going to grow stronger, as both players are very young, and the Jaguars are an upstart team.

In Week 1, Robinson was once again a feature of the Jaguars offense. Against a tough Green Bay Packers defense, Robinson was targeted 15 times, though he only snagged six catches. Still, he went for over 70 yards and had averaged 12 yards per catch. San Diego’s defense is nowhere near the class that Green Bay’s is, so Robinson will definitely show improved numbers in Week 2.

Robinson has played against the Chargers twice in his career, and he has been a bit handcuffed by the Bolts defense. However, the San Diego secondary is going through a rebuilding phase, and no longer have All-Pro Safety Eric Weddle. Robinson will team with Allen Hurns to hurt the Chargers in the passing game on Sunday, and is a must-start in all formats.
