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.

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.

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.
Nov 27, 2024 5:23 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team is still gathering facts after wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on Monday on suspicion of DUI and they have not made a decision regarding whether Robinson will play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The 30-year-old has essentially become LA's No. 3 wideout behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, so if Robinson doesn't suit up this weekend, it would open up more playing time for Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson. Through 11 games in 2024, Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a career-high six touchdowns on 50 targets in his second year with the team. In Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he caught just two of three targets for 15 yards but was able to find the end zone for the sixth time this year. Check back later this week to see if Robinson will be available against the Saints.
Nov 26, 2024 1:45 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Monday morning after police officers pulled him over for traveling over 100 miles per hour, according to Clayton Holloway of NFL Media. Robinson's arrest came mere hours after his Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. Following his arrest, he was cited and released to a responsible party. As of now, it's unclear if there will be any legal developments stemming from this incident. Fantasy managers should monitor Robinson's status ahead of Week 13 versus the New Orleans Saints.
Nov 26, 2024 1:04 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught two of his three targets for 15 yards and one touchdown during Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was one of two Rams receivers who caught a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford, joining Cooper Kupp in that regard. He has been an impressive scoring threat, catching 26 passes, 384 yards, and six touchdowns through 11 games so far this season. Despite his solid stats this season, Robinson finds himself behind Kupp and Puka Nacua, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
Nov 25, 2024 12:58 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should be viewed as a risky flex option heading into a Week 12 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Over the past two weeks, Robinson has seen at least four targets in each contest but caught a total of just three passes across both games. However, in Week 9, Robinson enjoyed his best outing of the season, bringing in six of his nine targets for 94 yards and two scores. Despite seeing a consistent target share, Robinson has been unable to produce a consistent fantasy output. In addition, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver room remains quite crowded with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, which will always hinder Robinson's weekly ceiling. Facing a tough Philadelphia Eagles secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, fantasy managers should view him as a risky flex option in deeper formats.
Nov 23, 2024 2:10 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should be viewed as a low-floor, high-ceiling option heading into Week 11 against the New England Patriots. Robinson had strung together an impressive two-game stretch with eight catches, 129 yards, and four touchdowns, but he came crashing back down to earth with just one reception for 23 yards last week. Still, he was targeted by Matthew Stafford five times, reaffirming the veteran's interest in getting the ball into Robinson's hands. Given that Robinson is a big-play deep threat, there are going to be some times when he just can't seem to get a spark offensively. Other times, he'll repeatedly catch deep passes and add a score or two. The Patriots aren't dominant against receivers, so Robinson could certainly be capable of breaking off a huge play (or even a touchdown) this week. The alternative, though, is a one-catch game with just a couple fantasy points. Managers should evaluate Robinson against other bench players on their roster, keeping in mind that Robinson ranks as a fantasy WR4.
Nov 16, 2024 9:40 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (toe/hip) is designation-free for the team's Monday night matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Sean McVay didn't make a big deal when asked about Robinson's ailments leading up to Week 10's tilt, and it's nice to see the veteran come through. The former fourth-round pick was the hero in last week's OT win over the Seattle Seahawks but will face a stiffer task this Monday against a solid Dolphins defensive unit. Miami has been staunch against the pass this year, allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards per game (183.1) and the fifth-fewest touchdowns through the air (8). Additionally, fellow wideout Puka Nacua will presumably play the entire contest this weekend, so long as he doesn't get himself ejected again. With the Rams' wide receiver corps intact, the 30-year-old is little more than a FLEX play with touchdown upside for the contest. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR47 in this week's rankings.
Nov 9, 2024 9:37 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (toe/hip) was listed as a limited participant in the team's Friday practice. Robinson picked up a toe injury in the team's thrilling 26-20 OT win over the Seattle Seahawks despite being the hero of the contest. Interestingly enough, he's listed with a hip ailment as well, but when and where that occurred is unclear. Head coach Sean McVay didn't seem too bothered about the 30-year-old wideout's status when asked about him on Thursday but did note they're being cautious with the veteran's toe. He'll have one more opportunity to elevate his practice status before Los Angeles must give him a designation for their Monday night home tilt against the Miami Dolphins. If Robinson can't go, teammates Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson project to pick up some extra snaps for the matchup on Monday Night Football. Keep an eye on his status.
