The most-telegraphed move of the week is official: Wan’Dale Robinson has signed with Tennessee. This marriage was heavily rumored during NFL Combine week, and Robinson put pen to paper on a four-year, $70 million deal on Monday afternoon. Robinson teams back up with current Titans OC and former Giants HC Brian Daboll and adds an underneath safety blanket for second-year QB Cam Ward.
WAN’DALE ROBINSON
- Robinson has long been a prolific target earner, earning 0.26 targets per route run in 2025 and 0.25 in 2024 (0.21 in 2023). He’s had exactly 140 targets in consecutive seasons and posted frankly ridiculous target numbers down the stretch last year with Malik Nabers hurt. In 11 games without Nabers, Robinson had eight games with at least a 30.6% target share. That’s absolutely absurd. He was still relatively inefficient at 7.2 yards per target, but that was a marked improvement from the 5.0 mark he posted in 2024, and it came with a legitimately improved route tree. Robinson had 22 targets beyond 20 yards in 2025 after earning just five the year before, and a mere 85 of his 140 targets came 10 yards or less from the line of scrimmage (2024: 108 of 140). At 5-foot-8, Robinson is never going to be a deep threat, but he evolved from a purely underneath guy in 2024 to a more complete receiver last season, and $70 million is the reward for his efforts.
- The Tennessee WR room is in flux with Calvin Ridley‘s future uncertain. Ridley could be cut this offseason after an injury-plagued 2025, and more WR additions will be on the way for Tennessee if that happens. Regardless, Robinson should challenge to be Ward’s most-targeted receiver in 2026. He’s unlikely to be a weekly fantasy starter given he’s still not super efficient on a per-target basis, and the Titans’ offense will be below average next year barring a major step forward from Ward, but Robinson is a viable bye-week fill-in in PPR formats.
OTHER TITANS WIDE RECEIVERS
- Ridley is 31 years old and coming off an ineffective season. He may not make it to Week 1 on the Titans’ roster. Chimere Dike was a bright spot for Tennessee as a rookie, but he only averaged 5.7 yards per target as a wide receiver. 66.5% of Dike’s snaps came in the slot in 2025, and Robinson will have that role immediately, so Dike will have to carve out work elsewhere. More likely is that Dike isn’t super fantasy-relevant in 2026, but he’ll still be a good real-life player as a Pro Bowl returner. Elic Ayomanor was thrust into an impossible role as a rookie as Tennessee asked him to be their WR1 as a Day 3 rookie, and he predictably struggled as well. Tennessee will still be in the market for outside WRs in free agency and the draft, as getting the weapons necessary to evaluate Cam Ward should be their top priority.
GIANTS WIDE RECEIVERS
- Robinson was as good as gone given the new coaching staff in New York and the price point here, so this move has minimal impact on the remaining NYG WRs since it should have already been the assumption. The Giants signed Isaiah Likely on Monday and could use more 2-TE sets with Likely and Theo Johnson in 2026, much like John Harbaugh did in Baltimore with Likely and Mark Andrews. Nabers’ ACL recovery is the main plot line to watch this offseason: A September injury theoretically gives him enough time to be ready for the season opener, but he’s on the record saying getting fully healthy is his main priority rather than making sure he’s on the field for Week 1. Robinson’s departure frees up even more targets for Nabers once he’s back at 100%.
