Redskins WR Aldrick Robinson's lone Week 12 reception went for a 68-yard touchdown against the Cowboys.
A little-used streak-route, one-trick pony at this point, Robinson got behind the defense for a 68-yard touchdown bomb off play action early in the second quarter. RG3 put his all behind the ball, and Robinson just ran under it. Robinson has 11 receptions on the season and isn't a fantasy option. Thu, Nov 22, 2012 08:36:00 PM

Aldrick Robinson ended up playing just 32 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Robinson started ahead of Leonard Hankerson, but dropped a pass on the first play of the game and saw a mere two targets. His snap count probably would have been even more meager if Santana Moss didn't sustain a concussion in the fourth quarter. Hankerson came on for 44 snaps and caught three passes for 49 yards. Unless Pierre Garcon (foot) gets healthy, the Skins' wideout corps is a fantasy black hole.

Starting over Leonard Hankerson, Aldrick Robinson was held to one catch for six yards versus the Panthers in Week 9.

The Redskins wanted Robinson's game-breaking speed in the lineup, but they didn't any shot plays down the field. Robinson had a ball go through his hands on the first play of the game was stopped just shy of the goal line on his lone catch. Hankerson (3 catches, 49 yards) was the more effective of the two receivers. Robinson is best utilized as a situational deep threat going forward.

Aldrick Robinson is starting over Leonard Hankerson versus the Panthers in Week 9.

This is not a surprise. Labeling Robinson one of the fastest players in the NFL, coach Mike Shanahan suggested mid-week that he would be in for an increased role going forward. The disappointing Hankerson is unplayable in fantasy leagues while Robinson is a risky flex option. Redskins inactives: QB Rex Grossman, S Brandon Meriweather, WR Pierre Garcon, DE Doug Worthington, CB Richard Crawford, OG Adam Gettis, and OL Maurice Hurt.

Coach Mike Shanahan promises an increased role for WR Aldrick Robinson going forward.

With Pierre Garcon and Fred Davis out, the Redskins sorely need Robinson's electric speed. If not for a pair of missed blocks and a dropped pass early in the season, Robinson would have been playing more snaps all along. According to Pro Football Focus, Robinson's average depth of target (19.6 yards) is the highest in the NFL this season. He could eat into a disappointing Leonard Hankerson's snaps.

Redskins WR Aldrick Robinson (concussion) has been cleared and will play Sunday versus the Falcons.

Robinson is "good to go" after being upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll return to limited snaps now that Pierre Garcon has returned and Leonard Hankerson is starting on the opposite side.

Redskins WR Aldrick Robinson (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Robinson's presence in practice was a bit of a surprise given the nature of how he sustained the concussion. He sported a gold non-contact jersey today, and he's expected to undergo the NFL concussion protocol tomorrow to determine his Week 5 eligibility.

Redskins WR Aldrick Robinson sustained a concussion during pregame warmups Sunday.

Robinson collided with SS Brandon Meriweather's knee and was unconscious for about a minute. It sounds like a severe concussion. Meriweather, meanwhile, re-injured his knee during the incident and is headed for a Monday MRI.

Redskins WR Aldrick Robinson caught two passes for 40 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Robinson started in place of injured Pierre Garcon (foot), but saw just three targets from QB Robert Griffin III. He showed good open-field speed on his long reception of 28 yards, but also dropped a beautifully thrown deep ball from Griffin in the fourth quarter.

The Washington Post believes WR Aldrick Robinson has earned an expanded role in the Redskins' offense.

Robinson had four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown filling in for Pierre Garcon (foot) last week, and led all Redskins' receivers in snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. With Garcon officially listed as questionable, Robinson could be featured again opposite Josh Morgan, but isn't recommended as anything more than a fallback option in Week 2 against the Rams.

Redskins wide receiver Aldrick Robinson caught four passes for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.

The four catches were the first of Robinson's career. When Pierre Garcon left the game with a foot injury, Robinson was the one to come in the game, not Leonard Hankerson. He showed some flashes, and we now know why the Redskins went through the trouble of keeping Robinson on the active roster and away from other teams last year. He isn't fantasy relevant yet, but we'll keep an eye on him.

The Redskins promoted WR Aldrick Robinson from the practice squad late last season to to keep him from signing with the Jaguars.

The Skins are intrigued by Robinson's 4.43 speed even if he failed to get behind defensive backs in practices last season. If the Redskins end up keeping Santana Moss, Robinson will likely have to battle Terrence Austin and Brandon Banks for the final receiver spot.

Redskins promoted WR Aldrick Robinson from their practice squad.

Robinson was the last remaining Redskins' draft pick still on their practice squad. Size is a major concern at 5'10/184, but there's some slot potential for the sixth-round pick.

Redskins waived WR Aldrick Robinson.

A sixth-round pick out of SMU, the Redskins were hoping Robinson would be able to contribute as a slot receiver. He failed to notch a catch during the preseason, however, and simply didn't show enough to crack what is far from a loaded receiving corps.

Redskins agreed to terms with sixth-round WR Aldrick Robinson on a four-year contract.

Robinson isn't as gifted as fellow SMU alum Emmanuel Sanders, a revelation as a rookie in Pittsburgh last season. However, Robinson has drawn high marks from NFL Films guru Greg Cosell as a "dynamic slot prospect" who could eventually replace 32-year-old Santana Moss. All of the Skins' offseason receiver pickups may have Robinson ticketed for the practice squad in year one.
