Should You Start or Sit Wan’Dale Robinson in Week 10?
Wan’Dale Robinson is exactly what you think he is, and with receivers dropping like flies, there’s comfort in stability. The Week 9 stat line could have been useful if not for Darius Slayton getting called for a pick penalty on a four-yard Robinson touchdown, but you know you’re getting some self-sabotage potential whenever you bank on a below-average offense like what the Giants roll out there.
There’s a decent chance that Robinson snaps a streak of seven straight games of underachieving based on his target diet this week against a Panthers defense that allows the eighth-most yards per catch after the reception this season.

PFN Insight on the Panthers’ Defense
The Carolina Panthers’ defense has yet to have a week in which it ranked inside the top 15, with a 16th-place finish against the Raiders in Week 3 being the high point. There are no positives to point to here for a unit that has been lucky to avoid more criticism with all eyes focused on the offense in the past few weeks.
This unit has a lot of improving to do in the second half, and even then, we could be looking at wholesale changes in 2025.

New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers Insights
New York Giants
Team: New York is averaging just 2.78 plays of 20-plus yards this season (28th, ranking just behind Carolina’s 2.89 per game).
QB: In a limited offense, the “layups” have to overachieve, and that didn’t happen on Sunday against the Commanders. Yes, Daniel Jones completed 13-of-16 short passes, but those plays gained a total of just 46 yards – in essence, they were no better than handoffs that come with more risk because you’re putting the ball in the air.
Offense: The Giants are averaging a league-worst 5.1 yards per play on first down this season (since 2013, only the 2015 San Diego Chargers and the 2020 Philadelphia Eagles have posted lower marks for a season).
Defense: The Giants own the highest sack rate in the league (12.3%).
Fantasy: Five times this season has a rookie receiver played 70% of the snaps and been targeted on at least one-third of his route:
- Malik Nabers (Week 2 at Commanders)
- Malik Nabers (Week 3 at Browns)
- Malik Nabers (Week 4 vs. Cowboys)
- Brian Thomas Jr. (Week 4 at Texans)
- Malik Nabers (Week 9 vs. Commanders)
Betting: Pick a side and commit – seven of New York’s past 10 road games have seen the spread (in one direction or another) be covered by at least a dozen points.
Carolina Panthers
Team: Carolina is being out-scored by 16.2 points per game, the third worst mark through nine weeks over the past decade (2020 Jets: -16.3, 2019 Dolphins: -19.1).
QB: When throwing the ball 10-plus yards down the field this season, Bryce Young has completed just 20-of-51 passes (39.2%) with one touchdown against six interceptions.
Offense: We thought last season was rock bottom? Through nine weeks, Carolina is averaging 5.5 fewer yards of offense per game this season than last.
Defense: The Panthers have allowed the second-highest opponent passer rating through nine weeks (111.2).
Fantasy: Not only does Jonathon Brooks loom, but defenses are wising up to the Chuba Hubbard strength of this offense – in Weeks 8-9, 50% of his carries came against a loaded box (Weeks 5-7: 18.8%).
Betting: Underdogs have failed to cover four of the past five Sunday morning games.
