Allen Robinson II Week 1 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 11th 2020, 1:14pm EDT

Coming off a season where he received 154 targets (and at least seven targets in 14-of-16 games), it's hard to see that number dipping much considering the Bears didn't add anyone of note to their receiving corps. He's had success against the Lions over the last two years, tallying at least 86 yards in 3-of-4 games, including three touchdowns in them. The biggest thing to note is the loss of top-tier cornerback Darius Slay. The Lions traded him away and then selected Jeff Okudah at No. 3 overall. While Okudah is likely going to be a star in this league for a long time, I'm highly doubting they ask him to shadow Allen Robinson in his first NFL game. Because of that, I believe he'll see a mix of Okudah and free agent signing Desmond Trufant in coverage. Trufant used to be very good, but has struggled mightily over the last three years, allowing a 62.8 percent catch rate, 8.45 yards per target, and a touchdown every 13.3 targets in his coverage. It's also his first game in a new defensive scheme. Robinson should be in lineups as the sturdy low-end WR1 you drafted him as.
