Episode notes
Wan'Dale's Upside Came From Deeper Targets
- Wan'Dale Robinson transformed into a higher-variance target in 2025, jumping from 4.9 to 8.7 air yards per target and reaching a 1,000-yard season.
- Matt Harmon links the spike to Giants mixing in deeper routes and using Robinson more outside, reversing his prior pure short-slot role.
Titans Signed Robinson For Fit And Depth
- Tennessee signed Robinson largely because of scheme familiarity with Brian Daboll and abundant cap space, not because he's an elite talent.
- Matt Harmon says the Titans will "throw stuff at the wall" with wideouts and that Robinson provides a known, viable body.
A Few Big Games Fueled The Big Season
- Robinson's 2025 production was concentrated: nearly 30% of his yards came in two games (vs. Cowboys and vs. Detroit).
- James Koh highlights that such clustering raises questions about his baseline consistency despite counting stats.
