  Robinson's comeback year is over
|
Updated 9/30/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The St. Louis Rams have placed wide receiver Laurent Robinson on injured reserve. Robinson, who leads the Rams with 13 receptions with one touchdown as their emerging go-to receiver, has a right ankle sprain and a fractured leg. He will not play again this season. | Analysis: Robinson was easily the Rams' best receiver, and also one of the early-season surprises for Fantasy owners. Once his season is officially over, you can drop Robinson from rosters for the rest of the 2009 campaign. Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton will remain parts of the Rams' offense, but neither receiver is expected to see a huge bump in production and be worthy of owning in Fantasy. |

Rams' Robinson's season is over
|
Updated 9/28/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: St. Louis will be without wide receiver Laurent Robinson, who leads the Rams with 13 catches, for the rest of the season. He suffered a high right ankle sprain and a fractured fibula in Week 3 vs. Green Bay. | Analysis: Robinson was easily the Rams' best receiver, and also one of the early-season surprises for Fantasy owners. Once his season is officially over, you can drop Robinson from rosters for the rest of the 2009 campaign. Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton will remain parts of the Rams' offense, but neither receiver is expected to see a huge bump in production and be worthy of owning in Fantasy. |
 Robinson has right ankle sprain
|
Updated 9/27/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 3's game against the Packers before he got injured. Robinson had to helped off the field after getting his ankle smashed by a Packers defender and has what the Rams are calling a right ankle sprain. Robinson could not walk to the locker room and was taken in on a cart. He could not return. | Analysis: Robinson has 13 catches for 167 yards and a touchdown thus far this season and has been St. Louis' best overall receiver in the early going. Hopefully he'll be able to return Week 4 at San Francisco. The 49ers have a solid pass defense and a healthy Robinson would likely be just a No. 3 or 4 WR. |

Robinson to face Packers in Week 3
|
Updated 9/24/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson will face a non-division opponent in Week 3 vs. Green Bay. The Packers have allowed 434 net passing yards over the first two weeks of the season along with four touchdown passes. They rank 15th in the NFL in pass defense. | Analysis: Robinson will be up against a middle-of-the-road pass defense in Week 3 and he has been a flying under Fantasy radars so far this season which could make for a good sleeper pick. He has had at least five catches in the first two weeks and is coming off a week in which he caught a touchdown pass at the Redskins. He doesn't have the track record of a viable No. 2 WR, but we recommend him as an injury-replacement play or as a No. 3 or 4 WR. |
 Robinson has good start to season
|
Updated 9/20/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson was Marc Bulger's top option on Sunday of Week 2 in a loss at Washington. Robinson made six receptions and went for 54 yards. Robinson found the end zone on a two-yard pass play from Bulger in the 2nd quarter. | Analysis: Robinson has easily been the Rams' best receiver thus far this season. He has already made 11 catches for 141 yards and has the touchdown. We can't call him anything but a low-end option for Week 3, however. The Packers are a solid defense and the Rams offense was not especially solid against Washington. Still, you should begin to look at Robinson as a possible sleeper going forward. |

Robinson to face non-division opponent
|
Updated 9/18/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson will face a non-division opponent in Week 2 at Washington. The Redskins allowed 248 net yards passing in Week 1 at the Giants, including one touchdown pass. Robinson led the team in receiving in Week 1 in a 28-0 loss to the Seahawks. He made five catches in the game for a total of 87 yards. | Analysis: Robinson broke a 45-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to make his stat line look a lot better. Robinson had a great preseason but was pretty quiet in his first '09 regular season game outside of his big catch and Fantasy owners should not look to start Robinson in Week 2 against the Redskins. |

Robinson makes 45-yard catch late
|
Updated 9/13/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson led the team in receiving on Sunday in a 28-0 loss to the Seahawks. He made five catches in the game for a total of 87 yards. He broke a 45-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to make his stat line look more respectable. | Analysis: Robinson had a great preseason but was pretty quiet in his first '09 regular season game against Seattle until that one big pass play. The Rams' passing offense is not expected to be too good and Robinson will likely struggle to score too often. Keep thinking of him as a low-end Fantasy WR for Week 2's contest against the Redskins, which have a tougher defense than Seattle's. |

Robinson to face Seattle Seahawks
|
Updated 9/10/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson will face a division opponent in Week 1 at Seattle. Robinson did not play against the Seahawks in either game last season. | Analysis: Robinson had a big preseason and is showing he wants to be an integral part of the Rams' passing game. A lanky receiver who has had hamstring issues in the past, Robinson is worth taking a flier on him in deeper leagues as a sleeper. However, we don't recommend starting him until he can establish himself. |

Robinson adds 20 more yards
|
Updated 8/27/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Rams WR Laurent Robinson totaled three catches for 20 yards during Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals. He was targeted four times in the game. Robinson has 10 catches for 137 yards in three preseason contests. | Analysis: Robinson is having a big preseason and is showing he wants to be an integral part of the Rams' passing game. A lanky receiver who has had hamstring issues in the past, Robinson is worth a late-round flier in drafts at this point as a reserve. In smaller standard leagues, you'll probably find more value in him off the waiver wire if he continues to post relevant minutes during the season. |

WR Robinson stepping up for Rams
|
Updated 8/22/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: Playing with the first-team offense again Friday against the Falcons, Rams WR Laurent Robinson caught five passes for 65 yards and according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has established himself as a starter. Robinson has seven grabs for 117 yards this preseason. "I like this offense a lot. I'm very confident and comfortable in it," Robinson said after the game. "I'm just working hard every day in practice, just going out there and trying to be the best I can be. If the ball comes my way, it's an opportunity for me to make a catch, and I did that tonight." | Analysis: Robinson was acquired via trade this offseason and has overcome weak competition to seemingly land this spot. A lanky receiver who has had hamstring issues in the past, Robinson is worth a late-round flier in drafts at this point as a reserve. In smaller standard leagues, you'll probably find more value in him off the waiver wire if he continues to post relevant minutes during the season. |

Robinson stakes claim to WR job
|
Updated 8/14/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: In the Rams' Week 1 preseason game at the Jets, WR Laurent Robinson stood out when he nicely hauled in a 50-yard pass from Marc Bulger in the first half. He also had another catch, but it went for just 2 yards. He led the Rams in receiving. | Analysis: Robinson was acquired via trade this offseason and has as good a shot as anyone to crack the Rams' starting lineup, especially with Donnie Avery sidelined. A lanky receiver who has had hamstring issues in the past, he's barely worth a late-round flier in drafts at this point. You'll probably find more value in him off the waiver wire if he has relevant minutes during the season. |

Rams receivers have chance to shine
|
Updated 8/10/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: With Rams WR Donnie Avery (foot) out at least four weeks, there is an opening for other receivers on the depth chart to step up. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Monday that Laurent Robinson, Tim Carter and Ronald Curry will all get a chance to make plays now that Avery is out for the early part of the season. Said Spagnuolo on Robinson and Carter: "I thought he (Robinson) came in to training camp in great shape, really ready. The attitude, the way he carried himself he was really ready to step up and I think he's done that. And Tim Carter, he legitimately has speed, and he's played in the league so he has experience. Hopefully the combination of those two things will help us out." As for Curry, who was acquired in a trade this offseason from Detroit, "He's done everything in his career, and he's an experienced guy. He's skilled." | Analysis: We don't think any of these receivers are worth drafting in most standard leagues, but in deep formats there could be a sleeper in the bunch. Keep an eye on Curry because of his experience, and Robinson could also be worth a flier. But there's not much hope for the passing game in St. Louis until Avery returns. |

Rams WRs make strides
|
Updated 6/17/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams coaches are starting to gain confidence in young receivers Donnie Avery, Keenan Burton and Laurent Robinson after watching them perform during OTA workouts and minicamps. Avery and Burton will enter their second seasons with the Rams, Robinson his third in the NFL. Their combined statistics through four seasons: 108 receptions for 1,335 yards and five touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur can see the potential of the trio. "I like the guys we have," Shurmur said. "I think they're playing hard. They're working hard to get open, and they're really working hard at catching the football. I think they're all trying to think of themselves as playmakers, and that's what you want." | Analysis: We like Avery the best of this group, and he has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy WR this season. He's worth drafting with a late-round pick, but think of him as a No. 4 option on Draft Day. Burton and Robinson are candidates to add off the waiver wire, especially if QB Marc Bulger develops a rapport with these guys early on. |

Rams wideouts need work
|
Updated 6/9/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams are looking for help at the WR spot. Donnie Avery, Keenan Burton and Laurent Robinson finish the spring as the top three wideouts, but Burton has missed valuable practice time because of a hamstring injury. The report asks if there another Isaac Bruce or Torry Holt in that group, or among backups Brooks Foster, Tim Carter and Chad Lucas? "We have a ways to go," QB Marc Bulger said. "I don't think there will ever be another Torry and Isaac, but our guys are working hard. They're starting to make plays. I think they are playing faster now because they are starting to learn what's going on." | Analysis: Avery has the most potential of this group and should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy WR coming into the season. He's worth a mid-round pick. Burton and Robinson also have potential, but they are not worth drafting in most seasonal formats. Ignore Foster, Carter and Lewis coming into seasonal leagues this year on Draft Day. |

Bulger OK with young receivers
|
Updated 6/1/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: According to the team web site, the Rams should be OK at wide receiver even though Torry Holt is gone one year after Isaac Bruce left the team. QB Marc Bulger isn't worried. "I think we're fine," Bulger said. "Like coach says, you always want more competition at every position. That makes us better. A lot of these kids I don't know some of their names. I know their numbers right now. But we have some speed; we have some guys that can move. Obviously, the guys we had last year are doing a great job, but we have some sleepers in there I think that are going to surprise you guys." As it stands, it appears second-year men Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton are all but sure things to sit atop the depth chart. Laurent Robinson, acquired from Atlanta via trade before the draft, is also right in the mix. Beyond that trio, the Rams have Derek Stanley recovering from a serious knee injury and fifth-round draft pick Brooks Foster. | Analysis: Avery has the most potential of this group and should be considered a strong No. 3 Fantasy WR coming into the season. He should assume the No. 1 spot and played well as a rookie. We also expect Burton to make some plays this year as the other starting option. Beyond that, Robinson can be a sleeper but only in deep formats, and Stanley and Foster aren't worth drafting coming into the year. |

Rams acquire WR L. Robinson
|
Updated 4/7/2009 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The Falcons have traded receiver Laurent Robinson to the Rams, allowing the Falcons to move up in the fifth and sixth rounds of this month's NFL draft. Robinson, a third-round pick in 2007, had only five catches for 52 yards while playing in only six games last season. He had 37 catches for 437 yards and a touchdown as a rookie in 2007. | Analysis: Robinson is a lanky speedster with decent height but very injury prone (tailbone, left knee and hamstring issues last season alone). However, we should consider it a good sign that the Rams dealt for him less than a week after their first minicamp of the offseason, suggesting that they need help at receiver and think Robinson can be a threat for them. He was buried on the Falcons' depth chart and won't be in St. Louis as long as he can stay upright. He's a safe late-round pick in deeper leagues as a sleeper. One thing is for sure: The Rams should likely be playing from behind a lot this year, giving the passing game ample opportunities to make plays and score. |

Falcons make roster moves
|
Updated 12/17/2008 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The Falcons placed WR Laurent Robinson and CB David Irons on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, elevating DB Eric Brock from the practice squad and signing free-agent TE Marcus Pollard to take their place. | Analysis: Robinson missed several games this season with a hamstring injury and will be considered a candidate for a breakout 2009 since it will be his third season in the NFL. He and all the others listed here aren't worth a look in Fantasy play at this time. |

Falcons list inactives for Week 15

Updated 12/14/2008 |
| Laurent Robinson, WR STL | |
| News: The Falcons listed QB D.J. Shockley, WR Laurent Robinson, DB Brent Grimes, DB Glenn Sharpe, LB Tony Gilbert and DL Simon Fraser among their inactives for Week 15 against the Buccaneers. | Analysis: These players don't do enough statistically to matter in Fantasy even when active. Leave them all on waivers. |

| News: The Falcons listed QB D.J.

Leave them all on waivers. |
