Allen Robinson II Week 13 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 3rd 2020, 10:33am EST

A lot of time, social media screams about something that makes no sense, but when it comes to the Bears targeting Robinson, they have it right. Here are the Bears' QB Rating when targeting each receiver: Robinson 90.5, Mooney 74.8, Miller 69.9. Despite playing for a team that's averaging just 19.6 points per game (29th), Robinson sits as the No. 10 wide receiver on the season in PPR formats. The Lions have been abused by the run, sure, but they've also allowed a massive 9.30 yards per target to wide receivers, which ranks as the third-highest mark in the league. Robinson has had their number over the last few years, finishing with 5/74/0, 8/86/1, and 6/86/0 in their last three games, and that's not even including his 6/133/2 line back in 2018 against the same scheme. The cornerback the Lions have had shadowing No. 1 receivers is Desmond Trufant, who suffered a hamstring injury on Thanksgiving, which means he's unlikely to play here. They were already without first-rounder Jeff Okudah, so they're starting to thin out quite a bit. Even with those guys healthy for most of the year, the Lions have allowed 18 wide receivers to finish as top-36 options against them, including six who scored 20-plus PPR points. Robinson should be locked into lineups as a WR1 who has more scoring opportunities with Trubisky under center.
