Demarcus Robinson Still In The Mix To Be 49ers Third WR

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson finally made it into the end zone last week, though it was only to secure a two-point conversion and not a touchdown catch. Robinson's snap share shot up to 55% in Week 8, his second-highest mark of the year, but it resulted in just two catches for five yards on three targets. Even with Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder), and George Kittle missing multiple weeks due to injury, Robinson has been an afterthought in the 49ers' offense. Pearsall is out again in Week 9, but Jennings and Kittle will play when the 49ers face the Giants on Sunday. They, along with Christian McCaffrey, will dominate the demand for targets, leaving scant opportunities for Robinson. Despite the fact that the Giants allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, Robinson can be left off of fantasy rosters entirely.

Demarcus Robinson Unreliable Despite Ricky Pearsall's Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been unable to capitalize on the myriad injuries plaguing the team's offense. After serving a three-game suspension, Robinson had a one-game tuneup in Week 4 before being thrust into the starting lineup with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) both succumbing to injuries. Robinson managed just three catches for 39 yards on seven targets with both receivers out in Week 5. After Jennings returned to action in Week 6, Robinson's snaps and targets plummeted. Pearsall has been declared out for Week 8, but with Jennings on the mend and George Kittle in his second week back from injured reserve, Robinson has no place on San Francisco's offense. Robinson projects as a WR6/7 this week and can be safely left on benches, if not the waiver wire.

Demarcus Robinson Headed for Reduced Role Again in Week 7?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has generated some fantasy buzz after Ricky Pearsall (knee) was ruled out. However, managers should exercise caution and avoid rushing to add him off waivers ahead of Week 7. The 31-year-old took on a big role with an 85 percent snap share and seven targets just two games ago, but his role dwindled when Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder) returned last Sunday. With Jennings on track to play again this weekend, and Kendrick Bourne also expected to handle a significant role, Robinson's outlook is relatively bleak. He is third on the depth chart at wide receiver and should also lose targets to players like Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Managers in leagues with 14 teams or fewer can avoid Robinson this week.

Demarcus Robinson Takes Step Back With Jauan Jennings In Lineup

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught two of his three targets for 44 yards in the team's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 6. With Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) back in action, Robinson's involvement took a big step back from Week 5, when he actually saw more snaps than Kendrick Bourne did during the latter's big game against the Rams. On Sunday, Robinson's involvement plummeted from an 85% snap share to just 19%, well behind Jennings, Bourne, and even Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Robinson seems to be a low priority in the 49ers' passing attack and stands to lose more ground with George Kittle's (hamstring) possible return in Week 7.

Demarcus Robinson Could See More Involvement With Teammates Injured

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson's three catches for 39 yards in Week 5 belied his utilization in the team's 26-23 win over the Rams. Robinson saw seven targets and ran 39 routes, one more than the game's leading receiver, Kendrick Bourne. Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) were both absent from that contest due to injuries, which pushed Robinson up the depth chart in his second game of the season. Pearsall has already been declared out for Week 6, and Jennings is listed as questionable. If Jennings joins Pearsall on the shelf, then Robinson would see another game of heavy use and with it the opportunity for greater production than he put up last Thursday. Robinson lies outside WR5 territory but would be upgraded if Jennings is scratched and quarterback Mac Jones' (knee, oblique) own injuries don't prevent him from starting.

Demarcus Robinson Fails To Produce Despite Strong Presence In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson came out of last Thursday's 26-23 win over the Rams with just three receptions for 39 yards on seven targets. Despite the lackluster box score against his former team, Robinson led the team in routes run and air yards, and was second only to running back Christian McCaffrey in offensive snaps. The disappointing Week 5 performance will keep most managers away from burning FAAB dollars or waiver priorities on Robinson. However, if Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) are unavailable in Week 6, Robinson would be a sneaky late-week addition to fantasy football rosters and a dark horse flex candidate. Interested managers should monitor the situation in San Francisco closely throughout the week.

Demarcus Robinson Expected To Move Into Starting Lineup

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is expected to slide into a starting role with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) out for Week 5. Robinson made his season debut in Week 4 after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy in the offseason. San Francisco eased Robinson into action with a 25% snap share, and he saw just two targets, catching one pass for 20 yards. Robinson should see more action this week, though his lack of conditioning might see him lose snaps to Skyy Moore or Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It is worth noting that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will also be sidelined, with Mac Jones getting the start. As a projected WR5, it would be inadvisable to plug him into starting fantasy lineups, especially with the 49ers playing on Thursday, in the first game of the week.

Demarcus Robinson Could be Involved in Week 4

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is back in the mix after serving a three-game suspension. Robinson has reportedly looked good in practice and could be involved right away. The 49ers are banged up with Brandon Aiyuk (knee), George Kittle (hamstring), Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all dealing with injuries. If Jennings is limited it could lead to Robinson actually having a decent role on Sunday. Given all the injuries to this roster, Robinson could be worth a stash. However, he'll be tough to trust as a streaming option for this Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Demarcus Robinson has "looked great" in Practice for the 49ers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has rejoined the team after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, and according to Cam Inman, a Bay Area News Group sports reporter, Robinson has "looked great" in practice. This is encouraging news for the 49ers' offense, which is three games into the season and is dealing with multiple injuries in their wide receiver room, including Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder), and rookie Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all having missed time, while star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) remains on injured reserve. In 2024 with the Los Angeles Rams, Robinson hauled in 31 of his 64 targets for 505 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues looking for a spot start due to injuries on their team might want to look Robinson's way, especially if Jennings isn't able to go Sunday. If Jennings misses time, Robinson could be in line to see five or six targets and operate as the team's second wide receiver behind Ricky Pearsall.

Demarcus Robinson Back with Team Ahead of Week 4

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has rejoined the team after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. His return comes at a critical time, as the 49ers' receiving corps has been hit hard by injuries. Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder), and rookie Jacob Cowing (hamstring) have all missed time, while star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) remains on injured reserve. Robinson wasn't expected to carry much fantasy value entering the season, but the depleted depth chart could open up immediate opportunities, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) expected back in Week 4. In deeper formats, Robinson is worth consideration as a flex play, particularly if Jennings remains sidelined.

Demarcus Robinson Reels In Touchdown Pass

Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson found the end zone to put the first points on the board for the 49ers in their 30-23 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. The 30-year-old veteran reeled in a 22-yard pass from quarterback Tanner Mordecai to open up the second quarter of the preseason finale. Robinson finishes the preseason with seven receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown. Robinson will start his tenth NFL season serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy in the offseason. When he returns to action, he will be in the mix as San Francisco's third wide receiver behind Jauan Jennings (calf) and Ricky Pearsall, at least until Brandon Aiyuk (knee) can take the field. Robinson may eventually prove himself to be a worthy flex streamer, but fantasy managers can avoid him in their upcoming drafts.

Demarcus Robinson Issued Three-Game Suspension

The NFL has issued San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson a three-game suspension to start the season, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. The punishment comes as a result of a DUI charge Robinson received last November while he was a member of the Los Angeles Rams. After tallying 31 catches and setting career highs in yards (505) and touchdowns (seven) last season, Robinson joined the 49ers on a two-year, $9.5 million contract in free agency. While the 30-year-old's suspension doesn't come as a surprise, it's nonetheless another blow to a Niners receiving corps dealing with plenty of adversity going into the season. Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (calf), Jordan Watkins (ankle), and Jacob Cowing (lower body) are all banged up at the moment. Aiyuk is likely to start 2025 on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Between his injury and Robinson's suspension, the 49ers will be down at least two key receivers when they open their season against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 7.

Demarcus Robinson Sentenced to Three Years' Probation

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was sentenced to three years' probation as a result of a DUI charge he received last November, according to The Orange County Register. Robinson was a member of the Los Angeles Rams at the time but signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with San Francisco in March. The NFL has not yet announced whether Robinson will face a suspension or any other sort of discipline. Last season, Robinson played 17 games for the Rams and caught 31 passes for 505 yards and seven touchdowns. He figures to slot in behind Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings on the 49ers' depth chart at receiver. However, Aiyuk may miss the start of the season as he recovers from an ACL tear he suffered last October.

Demarcus Robinson a Frequent Target This Spring

It sounds like San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson took advantage of Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (calf) and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) sitting out of offseason workouts this spring. The 30-year-old filled in nicely as the reliable veteran, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. Robinson isn't flashy but is well-versed in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense after spending the last two years with the Los Angeles Rams, which made him a frequent and trusted target for quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Mac Jones during OTAs and mandatory minicamp. The former fourth-rounder (126th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 out of Florida is basically an insurance policy for Aiyuk this year. While he's getting extra reps now with three starting wideouts sidelined, Robinson isn't likely to see the field enough during the regular season as long as Jennings and Pearsall are ready for Week 1.

Demarcus Robinson Signs Two-Year Deal With 49ers

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.

Demarcus Robinson Could Return To Los Angeles

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.

Demarcus Robinson Totals 74 Yards in Rams Loss

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.

Demarcus Robinson Set As Rams Third Receiver

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.

Demarcus Robinson Charged With Misdemeanor DUI

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.

Demarcus Robinson Snags Three Catches To Finish Regular Season

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.
