Welcome to the 2019 All-Robio Report, where we have collected three teams worth of All-Robio players. Of the 18 QB-RB-WR-TEs on these lists, 12 are showing up for the first time ever. Heck, seven of the nine 1st-team players are not only earning their first 1st-team, but earning their first All-Robio anything.

Calderon leads the league this season with five All-Robio players. However, only one (the Pats DST) made the first-team. I have four total All-Robio players, but three made the first-team. While it might not surprise you that Masterson is next with most on the list with three, but Jeff, who didn’t even make the playoffs, also has three. Don and Matt each have two, while Bob and Eric settle for one. Griff, Colby and Burrier end the season with none, which helps explain their combined 7 wins.

Of the players, four of the 1st-team players were drafted in round one. Only two players on the list went undrafted and were later picked up. Only three All-Robio players were keepers this year and only one player was traded away this season.

THE MVP

Lamar Jackson – By a vote of 7-0, Jackson easily walked away with the top prize. It’s the second straight year the MVP was a quarterback drafted by me in round seven or later. At least this time, I didn’t trade him away after week one.

The Ravens QB led all arms with 5,164 points. It’s the fifth most points ever scored by a quarterback and more than Patrick Mahomes scored last year when he won this award. Jackson averaged 430 points per game and accounted for 23.7% of all the points scored for my record breaking team. Jackson is my first League MVP since I had Priest Holmes back in 2002.

FIRST-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Lamar Jackson, Ravens (Robio) What more can be said…Jackson led the NFL in passing touchdowns (25) and total (32). He’s rushed for 977 yards, over 500 yards more than the next quarterback on this list. If he was just a running back, he’d be the 8th best rusher.

For Jackson, this is the second year pro’s first ever All-Robio award. He’s my third career All-Robio quarterback and first since RGIII’s rookie year in 2012.

RB – Christian McCaffrey, Panthers (Rob M) While he failed to become just the third back in history to average 400 fantasy points per game, he did score 4,602 total points for an average of 383.5 per game. That’s the third most ever by a running back. He accounted for 23.3% of the points by Rob’s 8-win team. CMC led all backs in rushing (1,167) and receiving (644) and is on pace for 2,415 total yards this season. He also leads all backs in scores with 16, having lost zero fumbles.

This is the fifth time in Rob’s career he has had a first-team All-Robio running back and the first since Doug Martin delivered the award back in 2012. This is also Rob’s first non defense 1st-team All-Robio player since Josh Gordon in 2013.

RB – Dalvin Cook, Vikings (Michael) Easily the second best running back in the league. A ton of people spent the season sad knowing they let this guy slide to the 10th overall pick. Anyhow, Cook averaged 311 points per game, toping 1,500 total yards in just 12 games played. His 12 rushing touchdowns are tied for the most in the league.

A year after Marc got a first team back with Todd Gurley, his replacement steps in and delivers Dalvin Cook. The last time an expansion team finished the season with a 1st team All-Robio back was Colby in 2004 with Tiki Barber. The last one to draft one, was Masterson with Tomlinson in 2002.

WR – Michael Thomas, Saints (Robio) Despite losing his starting quarterback for nearly half the fantasy season, Thomas still led all receivers in targets and blew away the competition in receiving with 110. The next guy on the reception list has 24 less receptions. His 1,290 yards also leads all receivers. Add in six scores and you get 243.5 fantasy per game. Not bad for a week two trade item.

Surprisingly, this is Thomas’s first ever All-Robio award and he is the first 1st-team All-Robio wide receiver I’ve had since Tory Holt back in 2003. That’s a long time.

WR – Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (Bob) The 9th round keeper wasn’t always consistent, but when he was hot, he was scorching, breaking 300 five times, but finishing under 160 a total of seven times. Despite only catching 74 balls, he averaged a solid 15.2 per catch and is on pace for nearly 1,500 yards receiving. His nine scores is tied for the league most.

Godwin is one of two keepers to make the 1st-team, although the other (McCaffrey) cost Rob his first-round pick. Godwin was kept by Bob in round nine. This is the fifth 1st-team All-Robio wideout Bob has had since 2010. He’s now one behind Calderon for most all-time.

TE – Travis Kelce, Chiefs (Eric) I still say drafting him fifth overall was too high, but in the end, Kelce managed to earn another first-team award. He led all tight ends in receptions (68) and his 923 yards is also the most. If there was an issue, it was his lack of scores. Kelce finished with just four, after producing 18 over his last 31 regular season games.

Anyhow, Kelce becomes the first tight end since Antonio Gates (2004-06) to earn a 1st-team award three years in a row. If All-Robio’s are the only thing that matters to you, if you add in his 2nd-team in 2016, this makes Kelce the fourth best TE in fantasy history behind Gonzalez, Gates and Gronkowski.

As for Eric, this is the first time he’s ever had a 1st-team tight end, although he’s had a 2nd-team tight end three times since 2005. Also, this is the fifth straight year Eric has produced at least one 1st-team All-Robio player. That ties him for second longest streak in league history, but still three behind Calderon’s record of eight straight years (2007-2014).

PK – Will Lutz, Saints (Robio) Thanks to a 200-point effort in week thirteen, Lutz managed to jump from fourth to first. He missed four field goals this year, but led the league in attempts (31) and makes (27), including 11 from 40-49 and two more from 50+ yards. He beat out Tucker for the top spot by a single extra point.

Strangely, this is my third straight year I have had an All-Robio kicker, but I didn’t draft any of them, instead grabbing them off the wire. This is the second straight season Lutz has earned an All-Robio award. Last year, he earned a second-team award with Colby, the team that broke the scoring record. Maybe he’s the secret. This is the first time since 1999, that I have had three first-round players.

DST – New England Patriots (Rich C) While they cooled off a bit once the competition got tougher, The Patriots still finished with 2,720 fantasy points, over 200 more than the next team. Giving up just 10.08 points per game, the Pats forced a league high 20 interceptions. Their 29 total turnovers are second most. They sacked the QB 40 times (tied for third) and scored a league high six touchdowns.

Oddly enough, despite having a defensive genius as a head coach, this is the first time the Pats have earned a 1st-team award (they have two 2nd-team awards). This is the first time Rich has ever had an 1st-team All-Robio defense. This now means he has had a 1st-team All-Robio player in 11 out of the last 13 seasons. His 15 total 1st-team players is the best among non-original members (who have been in the league four years longer).

SECOND-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Dak Prescott, Cowboys (Eric) Proving that one can beat up the bad teams and shrink against the better foes, Prescott finished our regular season leading the league in passing yards (3,788), delivering 26 total scores. His 447 attempts and 298 completions also led the league.

In his fourth year in the league, Prescott does what Tony Romo only did once in his career, earn an All-Robio award. Oddly enough, Romo played for Eric when he got that award back in 2007. The only other QB to earn a 1st or 2nd team award for Eric was Tom Brady in 2012 and 2015.

RB – Derrick Henry, Titans (Jeff) Proving that last season’s hot finish was not fluke, Henry finally joined the elite conversation. He rushed for 1,150 (third best), scoring 11 rushing touchdowns in the process. While he wasn’t a big part of the Titans passing game, he did contribute with 200 yards receiving, while catching two scores.

This is Henry’s first ever All-Robio award. He’s the fifth back since 2013 that Jeff has had that earned an All-Robio.

RB – Nick Chubb, Browns (Rich C) Despite a slight dip in fantasy points with the arrival of Hunt, Chubb never fell from the second-team conversation. His 1,175 yards rushing is second only to McCaffrey, as he averaged 4.9 yards per rush. The only thing that kept him from the first team were his lack of scores (7) and action in the passing game, finishing with 31-245-0 in receiving.

This is Nick Chubb’s first ever All-Robio award and is the fourth straight year Rich has produced at least one 1st or 2nd team skill player. Fun fact: Of those four, Rich kept that player the following season in each of the previous three cases.

WR – Mike Evans, Buccaneers (Jeff) While his teammate stole first-team, Evans had to settle for second team. Despite catching only 66 balls and 57% of his 116 targets, he still produced 1,096 yards and seven scores, thanks to an impressive 16.6 yards per catch.

This is Evans second career All-Robio award (he got 2nd team in 2016). This is also the second time in four seasons Jeff has locked down a pair of second team players. In 2016, he had Drew Brees and Melvin Gordon securing 2nd-team awards. Evans is Jeff’s first All-Robio receiver since Randy Moss in 2009.

WR – Kenny Golladay, Lions (Don) Thanks to a 376-point effort on Thanksgiving, Golladay went from being outside the All-Robio conversation to the second-team. The third year back only caught 47 balls, but thanks to a 20.2 average, he got 950 yards worth of balls. His nine scores is tied for the most in the league.

For Golladay, this is his first ever All-Robio award. This is the second straight year Don has ended the season with a first or second-team wideout. In fact, he’s had eight of those since the 2004 season (15 years).

TE – Darren Waller, Raiders (Don) The first free agent non-kicker to end up on the list. Waller came out of nowhere to finish second at tight end. He had 66 catches for 807 yards, although only three scores. His 87 targets were third behind only Kelce and Ertz.

This is obviously Waller’s first All-Robio award. Also, this is the first time in Don’s long history in this league, that he has had a All-Robio tight end at any level.

PK – Justin Tucker, Ravens (Matt) This is Tucker’s fourth career All-Robio award, although he missed out on a second 1st-team award by a single extra point. When it comes to All-Robio trophies, he’s now tied for third all-time among kickers, behind only David Akers and Stephen Gostkowski. Because he failed to finish first, this season is just the second season since 2007 that Matt has failed to produce at least one 1st-team All-Robio player.

DST – San Francisco 49ers (Griff) The 49ers gave up a league low 3,011 total yards and 14.08 points per game (third best). They led the league with 45 sacks, took the ball from their opponents 24 times and scored four touchdowns.

This is the third time the 49ers have earned an All-Robio. They went back-to-back in 2011-12 with a second and third-team. They are Griff’s 61st career All-Robio player. That’s the most by any team (four ahead of me). It’s also the 8th time Griff has had an All-Robio DST. That’s the most by any team.

THIRD-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Russell Wilson, Seahawks (Rich C) Once again, Wilson gets completely forgotten in the draft. Taken six picks after Calderon took Aaron Rodgers, the 8th rounder put together another MVP-type season. On the season he has 29 total touchdowns to only three interceptions, passing for 3,177 yards.

Two years after securing a first-team award, Wilson earns his second All-Robio for his career. This gives Calderon five All-Robio’s in 2019. That’s tied with me for most this year. He becomes just the fourth person to have five in one season. I’ve done it twice, so has Griff and Eric, who each pulled it off once. However, in Griff’s two times, he had six each year and the record is seven by me in 2008.

RB – Ezekiel Elliot, Cowboys (Robio) The number one overall pick never really competed for first-team, but was always one of the top 5-6 backs in the league. Thanks to 266 total touches, Zeke rushed for 990 and got another 326 in receiving. He also added in eight scores, although coughed it twice.

This is Elliot’s third All-Robio award. He now has a first, second and a third team award. I use to dominate All-Robio backs. I had 11 in my first 16 years in the league, including a 1st-team back seven times. However, Elliot is my first All-Robio back since I had a pair of 3rd team guys in 2013.

RB – Leonard Fournette, Jaguars (Matt) We all assumed Neatock would have an All-Robio back; we just thought it would be Barkley. Nope, it was Leo. The former LSU Tiger got back on track this year. He nearly hit 1,000 yards rushing through 12 games (989). His 81 targets were second only to CMC his 65 catches were third most by a back and his 444 receiving yards were fourth best. His one hiccup? Lack of scores. Fournette hit pay dirt just three times in our regular season.

With Fournette, Matt secures his 17th career All-Robio running back, which is one behind Griff’s record of 18, but in four less seasons in the league. Neatock has had four All-Robio backs over the last three seasons.

WR – Amari Cooper, Cowboys (Rob M) Despite putting up a pair of the worst duds of the year (six against the Jets, zero against the Patriots), Cooper still managed to finish as the fifth best back. He caught 67% of his 92 targets for 971 yards and seven scores.

Cooper secures his second career 3rd team award. The other was in 2016. In both cases, he did it with Masterson. It’s the first time Rob has had two All-Robio wideouts in the same year since 2004 (see below).

WR – D.J. Chark, Jaguars (Rob M) Other than Darren Waller, who earned second-team tight end, Chark has to be the biggest surprise on this list. The Jaguars receiver went underrated this year and wasn’t even picked up off the wire until week five. That’s the latest of any non-kicker on this list. For the cost of $4, Masterson got 58 catches, 881 yards and eight scores.

Obviously, this is Chark’s first ever All-Robio award. While Rob has had just four 1st-team and 2nd-team All-Robio wideouts (including Cooper this year), this is his seventh 3rd-team receiver.

TE – Mark Andrews, Ravens (Rich C) Like so many of Rich’s great players, Andrews was a late-round pick up. Taken in the 11th round, he scored 276 and 284 out of the gate and barely looked back. While he did fail to hit 100 six times, he still managed 79 targets (fourth best) and 53 receptions. His 693 yards was fourth best among tight ends, while his seven scores led them all.

The second-year tight end earned what we can assume will be the first of many All-Rob awards. He is the ninth tight end of Calderon’s to earn an All-Robio and the second straight season (last year it was Kittle with a 3rd team). He’s one behind Griff’s record of 10 for a career.

PK – Harrison Butker, Chiefs (Rich C) The Chiefs kicker made a decent 25-of-29 kicks this year, but his 9-for-9 from 40-49 helped put him among the top three. It also helped he made 37 extra points, which was second only to Justin Tucker.

Butker proves to be Rich’s fourth 1st or 2nd team All-Robio. He is just the third kicker Rich has had earn an All-Robio. The first was Jeff Wilkins back in 2005 and the last was Matt Bryant in 2012.

DST – Pittsburgh Steelers (Jeff) Despite giving up 3,806 yards on the season, the Steelers were second in sacks (43) and led the league in turnovers with 30 (15 interceptions, 15 fumble recoveries).

Man, for a guy who barely made the playoffs, Jeff sure has plenty of All-Robio players. Three in fact. This is the second time in four seasons he has had three or more All-Robio players in a year. In fact, he’s had nine since 2016. Prior to that, he had just three. As for the Steelers, this is their sixth All-Robio award, tied for second most with the Bears, two behind the leaders, the Ravens.
