After 84 years, Allen Robinson finally has a quarterback with a pulse (and a huge dick) that has the potential to catapult him into the consistent upper echelon of fantasy wide receivers. We know the skill-set is there and he’s shown flashes of brilliance with absolute dirt at quarterback, highlighted by his 2015 season with Blake Bortles when he went for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. Last year wasn’t too shabby either, somehow catching 98 Mitch Trubisky footballs for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns.

Now, A-Rob has the Footlong Dong (hopefully) resorting back to 2017 where he ran through the playoffs and bent over Bill Belichick’s defense en route to Super Bowl MVP.
However, there is one common denominator for both Foles and the Bears that should make fans optimistic — he is reunited with Matt Nagy, who was Foles’ quality control coach in 2012 in Philly and his OC in Kansas City in 2016. Nagy also climbed up the coaching ranks with Doug Pederson, both branches of the Andy Reid tree, so Foles has tons of experience and success in this scheme.
If Foles can bounce back after an injury filled 2019 in Jacksonville, him and Robinson have a chance to make some magic. After all, whenever he’s been under Reid, Chip Kelly, or Pederson, he’s thrown for 75 touchdowns (including the playoffs) in only 43 starts.
This acquisition will boost Robinson up The Wolf’s 2020 Big Board and Foles has that streamer and DFS blowup potential on a weekly basis.
