The Rams have given Robinson (foot) permission Monday to seek a trade, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Los Angeles is even reportedly willing to take on a portion of the 29-year-old wideout's $15.25 million guaranteed salary to help get a trade done, per Pelissero. Robinson, who missed the last seven games of the 2022 season due to a foot injury, logged just a 33-339-3 receiving line on 52 targets across 10 games in his debut season with the Rams, after having put up 38-410-1 in 12 contests with the Bears back in 2021. Robinson's chances of a career revival at this point may depend on finding a quality landing spot for a fresh start.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
The Rams placed Robinson (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Los Angeles looks as though it could be without its top two receivers for the remaining six games of the season, as Cooper Kupp (ankle) is also on IR. Though the Rams aren't ruling out the possibility of Kupp making it back for Week 17 or 18 after he recently underwent surgery on his ankle, head coach Sean McVay confirmed Sunday that Robinson's upcoming surgery will be season-ending. The veteran wideout wraps up an underwhelming first season in L.A. with a 33-339-3 receiving line on 52 targets through 10 appearances. Robinson is likely on the Rams' books through 2024 after inking a three-year, $46.5 million deal in March, with over $30 million of that guaranteed.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Needs season-ending surgery on foot
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that Robinson has a foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson missed the 26-10 loss to the Chiefs with what was deemed an ankle injury, but it appears the injury is actually to his foot. The injury-riddled Rams have fallen out of the playoff hunt at 3-8, so they have no reason to rush Robinson's recovery. He finishes his first season in Los Angeles with 33 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns on 52 targets.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Takes seat Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday in Kansas City, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
After just one game serving as the Rams' No. 1 wide receiver with Cooper Kupp sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain, Robinson will sit out himself with an ankle issue that limited him during Week 12 prep. With quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion protocol/neck) out indefinitely, coach Sean McVay is going with Bryce Perkins under center instead of John Wolford (neck), who is active in case of emergency. Perkins thus will have Van Jefferson, Tyler Higbee (knee) and Ben Skowronek, among others, as his top available pass catchers. Robinson's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 4 against the Seahawks.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, isn't expected to be active, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Even though he's nominally the Rams' No. 1 receiver following Cooper Kupp's (ankle) placement on injured reserve after Week 10, Robinson's fantasy outlook for Week 12 was already looking bleak with Bryce Perkins expected to make his first NFL start in place of injured signal-caller Matthew Stafford (neck/concussion protocol). With the ankle issue having limited his participation in practice all week, Robinson now looks on track to join Kupp and Stafford on the sideline Sunday, though an official word on the wideout's status won't come until the Rams release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. kickoff. Assuming Robinson is out, Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek will lead the wide receiver corps, with Brandon Powell, Tutu Atwell, Lance McCutcheon and Jacob Harris also seeing more opportunities as depth options.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Iffy for Week 12
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Robinson (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
While the Rams played their first game without the injured Cooper Kupp (ankle) in their Week 11 loss to the Saints, Robinson stepped in as the team's new nominal No. 1 wideout and finished with four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Robinson looks to have picked up an ankle injury of his own along the way, with Los Angeles listing him as a limited participant in both of its first two Week 12 injury reports. Even if Robinson is cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll likely be working with a third-string quarterback in Bryce Perkins, who handled most of the first-team work this week with Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck) ruled out for Week 12 and with John Wolford (neck) having been limited. Robinson's injury along with his shaky quarterback situation make him difficult to deploy in fantasy lineups with much confidence, even in a game where the Rams could be forced to pass frequently as heavy underdogs.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Gets limited tag Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
The Rams only held a jog-through Thursday, but Robinson would have maintained his activity level from one day prior if they'd held an actual session. His status for Sunday's game at Kansas City thus may come down to how much work he's able to handle Friday, at which point he may be given an injury designation for Week 12. If Robinson is available this weekend, he likely will be on the receiving end of passes from Bryce Perkins with Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck) ruled out and John Wolford still tending to a neck issue.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Tending to ankle issue
Rotowire
Robinson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
With Cooper Kupp (ankle) likely sidelined for the rest of the season, Robinson currently tops the Rams' depth chart at wide receiver. Working with Matthew Stafford and then Bryce Perkins this past Sunday at New Orleans, Robinson reeled in four of five targets for 47 yards and one touchdown. Stafford (concussion/neck) already has been ruled out for Week 12, while John Wolford (neck) joined Robinson as a limited participant Wednesday. Assuming Robinson is able to play through his own health concern Sunday in Kansas City, there's a good chance he'll be on the receiving end of passes from Perkins, who is slated to handle most of the first-team reps this week.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Finds end zone in loss
Rotowire
Robinson secured four of five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 27-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Robinson tied for the team lead in receptions alongside Tyler Higbee and also checked in second in receiving yards. Robinson found the end zone for the third time this season on a six-yard touchdown grab just before the end of the first half. Robinson is in line to serve as the de facto top target during Cooper Kupp's (ankle) absence, but with Matthew Stafford now back in concussion protocol, it remains to be seen who the veteran wideout will be working with in a Week 12 road showdown against the Chiefs.

Rams' Allen Robinson: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Robinson should get a boost with Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, but I need to see it to believe it. Van Jefferson might be the better of the Rams receivers this week at the Saints and moving forward with Kupp injured, and we don't know if Matthew Stafford (concussion) will even play. Robinson has been a bust this season with just two touchdowns and two games with more than 10 PPR points. Will more targets help his cause since he's never topped seven in any game this year? Hopefully. But is that enough to use him as a starter in the majority of leagues? Not yet. Keep him on your bench for now, and hope that Kupp's injury can jumpstart his season.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Looks like new No. 1 wideout
Rotowire
Robinson is expected to settle in as the Rams' new No. 1 receiver beginning with Sunday's game in New Orleans after head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Cooper Kupp (ankle) would undergo surgery and head to injured reserve, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Through the first nine games of the season, Kupp has been the lifeblood of an otherwise unimpressive offense, accounting for an NFL-high 35.7 percent of his team's receptions. Though the Rams won't turn to any one player to absorb Kupp's 10.8 targets per game and a more run-heavy approach could be in the offing, pass catchers such as Robinson, tight end Tyler Higbee and wideouts Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek could all notice at least slight upticks in their volume for as long as Kupp is sidelined. Robinson has struggled to establish a rapport with quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion) during his first season in Los Angeles, but the veteran receiver's production had at least been trending up in recent weeks. Over his last four games, Robinson has turned in a 17-185-1 receiving line on 24 targets.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Four catches Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Robinson's role in the offense seemingly has regulated itself after some rough patches to start the year, as Robinson's yardage totals and targets both were around his season-long averages. For the first time all season, the veteran wideout didn't have a target in the red zone, but that may have been more indicative of the offense as a whole than Robinson being shut out of his normal role as a red-zone threat. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) potentially out for some time, Robinson likely would be thrust into the leading receiver role for the Rams, one that has been generous to Kupp (75-812-6) through nine games this season.

Rams' Allen Robinson: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Just when it seemed like Robinson was making progress with consecutive games of at least 10 PPR points prior to Week 9, he struggled again with three catches for 24 yards on five targets against the Buccaneers. He's still stuck on two touchdowns for the season, and he didn't play well against the Cardinals in their first meeting in Week 3 with two catches for 23 yards on five targets. We'll also have to monitor this concussion situation for Matthew Stafford, and if he's out then Robinson isn't worth using in three-receiver leagues.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Three grabs in loss
Rotowire
Robinson caught three of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
Cooper Kupp (8-127-1 on nine targets) was the only Ram who did much of anything in this one, and despite his weak numbers Robinson finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards. He's caught multiple passes in seven straight games but has topped 60 yards only once during that stretch, making him a tough player to rely on in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

There's a chance you can consider using Robinson if Cooper Kupp (ankle) were out, and Kupp missed practice Wednesday. But it seems like Kupp should play this week, and Robinson will again be tough to trust. To his credit, he's played better of late with 27 PPR points in his past two games, and he has 10 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets over that span against the Panthers and 49ers. But in two road games this year, he's combined for six PPR points at Arizona and at San Francisco. Tampa Bay's secondary should be able to contain Robinson, who is only worth using in deep, three-receiver leagues.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Gains 54 yards in loss
Rotowire
Robinson caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to San Francisco.
Robinson was coming off of his best game of the season last week (5/63/1), and while he couldn't replicate the touchdown, the veteran wideout finally produced usable fantasy lines in consecutive games. Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with an ankle injury late in the contest, so Robinson could see his role increase significantly if his star teammate is forced to miss any time. Make sure a disgruntled manager didn't drop Robinson after a slow start, as he could be in line for heavy targets if Kupp is unable to suit up against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Breaks out against Panthers
Rotowire
Robinson caught five of six targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.
It was the veteran wideout's best game so far as a Ram, and Robinson capped his day with a five-yard TD grab in the second quarter that got his team on the board. He won't get a chance to immediately build on this performance with Los Angeles on bye in Week 7, but Robinson is at least showing signs of becoming a key component in the team's passing attack.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Three catches Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson caught three of five targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.
It was more of the same for Robinson, who has struggled to make an impact through five games in his tenure with the Rams. Meanwhile, Ben Skowronek has seen a similar number of targets but has been far more efficient, with 18 catches for 181 yards compared to Robinson's 12 catches for 107 yards. A Week 6 matchup against the Panthers, who fired head coach Matt Rhule and defensive coordinator Phil Snow on Monday, will give Robinson one more chance to shake off a series of poor performances before going on bye Week 7.

Rams' Allen Robinson: Another dismal performance
Rotowire
Robinson caught two of six targets for seven yards in Monday's 24-9 loss to the 49ers.
Despite seeing the third-most targets on the team, Robinson was only able to bring in two short passes -- another disappointing showing in a season that, outside of a decent Week 2 line (4-53-1), has been a quiet one so far. He was unable to gain separation and was constantly smothered during Monday's game, which has become a theme for the 29-year old wideout. Through roughly a quarter of the season, Robinson's 9-95-1 receiving line hasn't come close to replacing the production of Robert Woods and Odell Beckham (knee). A tough Week 5 showdown against the Cowboys and their potent defense will make it difficult for Robinson to break out of his slump.

Rams' Allen Robinson: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
It's been a rough start for Robinson in his Rams tenure, and things aren't likely to improve in Week 4 at San Francisco. While he scored a touchdown in Week 2 against Atlanta and finished with 15 PPR points, he combined for just six PPR points in his other two outings against Buffalo and Arizona. He's yet to go over 55 receiving yards in a game, and he's maxed out at five targets. The 49ers are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so Robinson could be locked down again. He's a No. 4 Fantasy receiver at best this week.
