Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday that includes $6 million fully guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Robinson will remain in the NFC West after spending the last two seasons with the Rams. In 33 regular-season games (21 starts) for L.A., Robinson caught 57 of his 103 targets for 876 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 30-year-old had a career year in 2024, setting career-highs in receiving yards (505) and touchdowns (seven) while catching 31 of his 64 targets over 17 regular-season starts. In the Bay Area, he'll help make up for the loss of Deebo Samuel Sr., who was traded to the Commanders. Fantasy managers should definitely expect regression in the touchdown department, and he's likely to open the year as the No. 4 behind Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall, depending on Aiyuk's recovery from a torn ACL.

According to Sara Barshop of ESPN.com, free-agent wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could return to the Rams for the 2025 season. Barshop noted that Robinson would provide the Rams with a depth option in the wide receiver room that is familiar with the playbook. In addition, with the team exploring potential trade partners for Cooper Kupp, Robinson would be a stable option in their starting lineup. This past season, Robinson found the back of the end zone seven times, which set a career-high. He caught 31 passes for 505 yards. While the 30-year-old opened the season as the No. 3 option behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, both wideouts missed during the season, which opened up targets for Robinson for several weeks. If Robinson re-signs in Los Angeles, fantasy managers should expect him to return to a similar role and be a viable option in deeper formats.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had three catches for 74 yards in a snowy game against the Eagles in the Divisional Round. He was targeted seven times, which was tied for third on the team and second among wide receivers. Robinson had a 48-yard catch at the end of the first quarter that set up the Rams' early field goal and also had a key third-down conversion on the Rams' final drive of the game. Ultimately, that drive came up just short as the Rams turned the ball over on downs with under a minute left. Robinson established himself as a strong third receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. His one-year deal with the Rams expired at the end of the season, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent after 31 catches for 505 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in the regular season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson played 72% of the team's snaps in their Wild Card Round win over the Vikings. He actually played more snaps than Cooper Kupp but only had two targets, one catch, and 23 receiving yards. The Rams passing game could struggle in the weather in Philadelphia, but Robinson is getting enough playing time to deserve consideration as a punt play for DFS contests. He did have some good games earlier in the season and scored seven touchdowns. One of those scores came against the Eagles in their regular season meeting, and he'll have touchdown-dependent upside this week in the rematch.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI, according to the Office of the Los Angeles Attorney. Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Nov. 25 after police officers saw him driving more than 100 mph. He will be arraigned in late February. The Rams didn't suspend Robinson after he was arrested in November, with head coach Sean McVay saying the team would "let the legal process take place." The 30-year-old started all 17 games in 2024 and surprisingly led the team with seven touchdowns despite finishing fourth with 31 catches and 505 receiving yards. With the charges coming out for Robinson just days before the Rams take on the Minnesota Vikings in Arizona on Monday night, it remains to be seen if LA will suspend Robinson. If Robinson is active, he'll be a touchdown/dependent WR3/flex for playoff lineups.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught three of six targets on Sunday for 72 yards in the Rams' 30-25 loss to the Seahawks. Robinson played more snaps than any other wide receiver and was on the field for 62 of the team's 66 offensive snaps. His six targets were fourth on the team, but he turned them into the second-most receiving yards. He finished fourth on the team in receiving yards this season but actually led the team in receiving touchdowns with seven and finished third in targets. He will return to his role as the team's third receiver next week for the playoffs as Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp return after resting against Seattle. Robinson will have touchdown-dependent upside in a reduced role against the Vikings, who have been a good matchup for receivers overall this season.
Jan 6, 2025 6:49 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been highly unproductive lately, failing to catch any of his five targets over the last four weeks. However, he's back on the fantasy radar given that he could operate as the Rams' No. 1 wide receiver in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams have already confirmed that they will rest Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp on Sunday, leaving Robinson atop the depth chart while players like Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson, and Jordan Whittington also see increased roles. Robinson played at least 85 percent of the offensive snaps in every game that both Nacua and Kupp missed this season, and he'll likely have similar involvement in the Rams' regular-season finale. With that said, he does have a slightly lower floor with Jimmy Garoppolo starting in place of Matthew Stafford. Garoppolo is a proven veteran, but the quarterback change still brings a small amount of uncertainty to Robinson's Week 18 outlook. He should be treated as a mid-to-low WR3 option in fantasy football against a Seahawks defense allowing the fifth-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2024.
Jan 4, 2025 9:22 AM EST
Even though Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) has scored a career-high seven touchdowns in 14 games for the Rams this year, he cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups in Week 16 on the road against the New York Jets on Sunday. It's pretty impressive that Robinson has seven touchdowns while working behind target hogs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. The 30-year-old has been battling through a shoulder injury of late, which could be part of the reason he's gone without a catch on just two targets in the last two games against the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills. In the two previous games, he had four catches on six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. Robinson should get more involved this weekend in New York, but against a Jets defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest half-PPR points per game to the position, we'd stay away from Robinson this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) and rookie Jordan Whittington (shoulder) are both officially active for Thursday night's divisional contest against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium. Robinson injured his shoulder during the Week 14 win over the Buffalo Bills but was able to return to the game, which was a good sign for his status despite being on a quick turnaround this week. The 30-year-old will continue to serve as the WR3 in LA's offense behind stud wideouts Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, who get the vast majority of looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford in this offense. Robinson has still had a role, though, catching 28 passes for 433 yards, and he's had a nose for the end zone with a career-high seven touchdowns. In Week 3 against the Niners, Robinson had one catch for 32 yards. Treat him as a low-floor, touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in deep leagues.
Dec 12, 2024 7:16 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) and rookie Jordan Whittington (shoulder) are both listed as questionable to play in Thursday's divisional battle against the San Francisco 49ers. Both Robinson and Whittington missed practice on Monday and Tuesday before being limited on Wednesday. Robinson is the receiver that has generated some fantasy buzz in 2024 by already catching a career-high seven touchdown passes in 13 starts for the Rams. The 30-year-old eventually returned in the Week 14 win over the Buffalo Bills after injuring his shoulder, too, so he could be ready to go on a short week. Despite his seven TDs on the year, Robinson is only averaging 7.6 PPR points per game and is highly dependent on finding the end zone. The volume isn't there behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. If Robinson is out, expect Tutu Atwell to serve as LA's No. 3 wideout.
Dec 11, 2024 5:27 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) is practicing on Wednesday after missing the last two practices with a shoulder injury. The veteran has been banged up over the last few weeks, but his return to practice suggests he could play against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Robinson has hauled in 28 receptions for 433 yards and seven touchdowns this season. His lack of volume makes him a touchdown-or-bust flex option every week, but the 49ers have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts. With no teams on a bye, most fantasy managers can likely find better options to flex, even if he's active.
Dec 11, 2024 2:52 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) and Jordan Whittington (shoulder) both missed practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday. On a short week with a game coming on Thursday night in Week 15 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, it's even more likely that both Robinson and Whittington could be held out on Thursday evening. Robinson has had a nose for the end zone with a career-high seven touchdowns in 2024, but he's an inconsistent WR4/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. It would be wise to avoid him this week, and if he's inactive on Thursday, Tutu Atwell would have more DFS sleeper appeal as the WR3 behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Whittington, a sixth-round rookie out of Texas, hasn't seen a target since Week 5 and has only 18 receptions on the year for 201 yards and no TDs in his first 11 NFL contests.
Dec 10, 2024 11:14 PM EST
According to head coach Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) suffered a sprained shoulder in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. McVay didn't have a definitive update on Robinson on Monday but was hopeful that he'll be available to play this Thursday night in a big divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers on the road. While the 30-year-old appears to have avoided a major injury and even returned to the game, fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't expect to have him available on a quick turnaround this Thursday. He failed to haul in his only target on Sunday before leaving, while both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp went off in a high-scoring contest. If Robinson doesn't get the green light to play in Week 15, or if he is limited, Tutu Atwell would be the Rams' WR3 after catching all three targets for 45 yards in the win over the Bills.
Dec 9, 2024 6:19 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills. The wideout came down hard after catching a deep throw from Matthew Stafford. Unfortunately, offsetting pass interference calls resulted in the catch being wiped off the board. If Robinson doesn't return, he'll finish without a catch (one target), with Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Tutu Atwell likely in line for a few more targets.
Dec 8, 2024 6:20 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson found the end zone again last week, giving him six touchdowns in the last six weeks, and he'll look to keep that string going in his Week 14 home matchup against the Bills. He had to leave in the fourth quarter with a hand injury and was limited in Wednesday before getting in two full practices and receiving no injury designation. As the Rams' clear No. 3 receiver behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, Robinson has only had seven total catches in the last four weeks but continues to find the end zone at an amazingly high rate. With two catches or fewer in four straight games and such limited targets, his touchdown production is unsustainable. In a less-than-favorable matchup against the Bills, he's RotoBaller's WR49, meaning he's only a desperation flex option.
Dec 6, 2024 8:58 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hand) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday in the first session of the week. Before injuring his hand in the Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints, Robinson caught two of his three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. His hand injury is worth watching this week, but he's probably likely to play through it in Week 14 against the visiting Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp get most of the aerial targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford in this offense, but the 30-year-old Robinson remains involved as well and has had a nose for the end zone, scoring a career-high seven touchdowns in 12 starts. He's scored in each of the last two games, although it's come on only four catches for 64 yards. Robinson will be a touchdown-dependent WR4/5 in Week 14 against Buffalo if he's active.
Dec 4, 2024 7:44 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hand) is expected to be available for the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Sean McVay. Robinson suffered a minor hand injury during Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints, but appears to be fine going forward. He hauled in two receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. Robinson has taken a backseat in the offense with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua healthy right now. That being said, Robinson is a boom-or-bust flex option heading into this tough matchup with Buffalo.
Dec 2, 2024 9:52 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hand) had two catches for 49 yards in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints. Although two catches wouldn't mean anything to fantasy managers, one of them at least resulted in a trip to the end zone. Despite Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp healthy and available, Robinson has been involved, catching a touchdown in each of his last two appearances. He suffered a hand injury in this one, so his status for the Week 14 matchup with the visiting Bills is up in the air. But if Robinson can play, he deserves flex consideration based on his contributions of late.
Dec 1, 2024 7:54 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson remains a risky flex option for three-WR formats heading into a Week 13 tilt against the New Orleans Saints. After catching just three passes during Weeks 10 and 11, Robinson enjoyed a nice bounce-back against the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend when he scored 9.5 PPR points. Even with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp dominating targets, Robinson has found opportunities to succeed, as he has averaged a solid 12.3 PPR points in each game since Week 8. However, he has fallen under double-digit PPR points on three occasions during this span. Facing a weak New Orleans secondary that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, Robinson could have a path to a solid fantasy output, even while operating as the No. 3 option on the team. Given his spot on the depth chart, fantasy managers should view him as a risky flex play in deeper three-WR formats.
Nov 30, 2024 2:24 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will not a face team suspension according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Robinson was arrested on Monday on suspicion of DUI but should be expected to suit up this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. However, Barshop noted that the team will let the league's disciplinary process play out which could result in a suspension at later date. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Robinson to continue to operate as the No.3 wideout behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Over his past three contests, Robinson has averaged just 4.0 targets per game with 19.0 yards per game. Fantasy managers should view him as a low-end WR3 and a high-risk, high-reward option in DFS facing a weak New Orleans secondary that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
