STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Robinson's slot usage dropped 10 points; pass protection duties up 14 points.

Robinson's receiving role has contracted significantly. He was used as an extra wide receiver on 29% of routes in 2025, down to 19% in 2026. More critically, he's stuck with pass protection duties on 29% of passing plays, up from 15% in 2025. While still heavily involved in the pass game, he's not the weapon he was last year.
