The New York Giants entered 2025 knowing they were building toward something bigger.
Two weeks into the season, while two losses have left a bad taste in the mouths of all involved, wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson has positioned himself as a central piece of that vision.
His eight-catch, 142-yard, one-touchdown performance against Dallas on Sunday wasn’t just a career-best showing — it was a glimpse of what the Giants’ future offense could become.

Targeted 10 times in the game, Robinson looked every bit like the dynamic weapon the Giants hoped he would be when they drafted him on Day 2 three years ago. His quickness out of breaks created consistent separation, and his ability to work both in space and downfield stretched the Cowboys’ secondary. The touchdown was the exclamation point — a reminder that Robinson isn’t just a short-yardage option, but a true playmaker.

It hasn’t just been one game, either. Through two weeks, Robinson has already been targeted 20 times, an indicator that the Giants want him featured. It's a kind of workload that is encouraging for a player whose first seasons were defined more by flashes than steady involvement.
What makes this all the more promising is the context. Robinson is thriving while the Giants continue to prepare for the eventual takeover of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who represents the next chapter at the position.
When Dart steps in, he’ll inherit a receiving corps headlined by Malik Nabers, who already looks like a superstar, and Robinson, who’s carving out a role as a versatile, do-it-all threat. Add in the presence of running back Tyrone Tracy Jr, a dual-threat back who can keep defenses honest, and the Giants suddenly look like a team with an offensive nucleus worth believing in.
For a franchise that has struggled to identify and develop consistent skill talent in recent years, Robinson’s hot start is more than just a statistical spike. It’s a sign of progress, a sign of balance, and most importantly, a sign of stability for a Giants offense being built with the future in mind.
