Is Allen Robinson a lock for 1,000 yards in 2020?

Share

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson enjoyed his best season since 2015 when he recorded 98 catches for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns last year. His production proved he's all the way back from the torn ACL he suffered in 2017 and is worthy of a massive contract extension, assuming the Bears do the right thing and offer him one before the 2020 season concludes.

A-Rob will help his case for that big payday with another year of 1,000 or more receiving yards, which according to the analytics experts at Pro Football Focus, he'll have little trouble accomplishing.

Robinson was listed among eight receivers who PFF think are locks for more than 1,000 yards in 2020.

Only three WRs had more than 80 targets in Weeks 9-17 last season: Thomas (93), Adams (89) and Robinson (88). Robinson is a target monster for the Bears, and that kind of volume should be an automatic 1,000 yards. He has overcome shoddy quarterback play his entire career — it's hard to believe that Nick Foles could be the best quarterback Robinson has ever played with. Robinson is a contested catch artist, racking up 40 since 2018 (third-most behind Julio and Golladay).

One of the craziest things about Robinson is the fact that he's only 26 years old (he turns 27 in August). He's arguably just now entering the prime years of his career and there's at least a solid chance we haven't seen his career-year yet, and that includes his 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown season in 2015.

The Bears have struggled to construct a respectable offense that can threaten opposing defenses on a weekly basis. Robinson is the closest thing the team has to a legitimate offensive weapon. It will be football malpractice if Ryan Pace lets him walk at the end of the season.
