San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 16, but was only involved enough to see one other target and finished the game with two catches for 23 yards and the score. Since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, Robinson has slid back behind Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart, but saw a slight uptick in playing time last week with Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) sidelined due to injuries. Pearsall is questionable for Week 17, as is tight end George Kittle (ankle). Even if both players were to be declared inactive, Robinson would be a long shot to provide fantasy value. In 12 games with the 49ers, Robinson has averaged 2.3 targets per game and owns a 17-222-1 line despite the many injuries to key pass-catchers throughout the season. Robinson is too low of a priority in the 49ers' pecking order to warrant use in the final weekend of fantasy football.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his first touchdown pass of the season in the team's 48-27 win over the Colts on Monday night. Robinson finished the game with two catches for 22 yards and the score on two targets. Outside of the trip to the end zone, Robinson did not benefit from Ricky Pearsall's (knee, ankle) absence from the game. Instead, Robinson appears to have slipped back behind Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart, seeing a 44% snap share to Bourne's 70% share. Given his lack of involvement in the offense all season, fantasy football managers shouldn't read too much into Robinson's touchdown on Monday. It is too early to know Pearsall's status for Week 17, but even if he is held out, Robinson should not be relied on in the fantasy football championship round.
Dec 23, 2025 6:26 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings took yet another trip to the end zone in Week 16, extending his streak to a fourth game. He has at least one touchdown in six out of the 49ers' last seven games. In Monday night's 48-27 win over the Colts, Jennings caught five of his six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. The yardage was the most Jennings turned in since the 71-yard game he recorded in Week 10. Jennings' fantasy value has been largely touchdown-dependent, as he has averaged just 3.8 receptions and 43.5 receiving yards per game in 2025. Jennings has been one of Brock Purdy's preferred targets, though, and the receiver has a promising matchup in Week 17. In the fantasy football championship round, San Francisco will host the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the second-most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
Dec 23, 2025 2:41 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson appears to be holding onto his spot on the depth chart behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Robinson drew more snaps than Kendrick Bourne for the third straight game in Week 13, leading into the 49ers' bye. The extra time on the field did not amount to any significant production, however, and Robinson finished the game with one carry for a six-yard gain. Despite injuries to Jennings, Pearsall, and George Kittle earlier this season, Robinson was unable to establish a greater role for himself. On the season, he has 13 receptions for 163 yards on 24 targets. He is unlikely to make an impact in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Despite a forgiving matchup against a bottom-tier defense, Robinson can be left off of fantasy football rosters entirely in Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 6:47 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his one and only target for an eight-yard gain in Week 12. It was his second straight game with a single reception, bringing the 30-year-old veteran's season-long production to 13 receptions for 163 yards on 23 targets. Even amid the rash of injuries to the 49ers' offense, Robinson failed to make an impact. That is unlikely to change, now that Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee), and George Kittle are all active again. In Week 13, San Francisco is on the road to face the Browns, who have given up the second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. The forecast in Cleveland calls for 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow, making it unlikely that the 49ers' open up their passing attack and provide Robinson with more work. He can be left off of fantasy football rosters this week.
Nov 29, 2025 4:23 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw little change in his utilisation in the wake of Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Robinson's snap share has hovered around 25% for most of the season, and that trend continued in the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals when Robinson checked in for 26% of the team's offensive snaps. Another trend that continued was his limited involvement when he was on the field, as he saw just one target that he caught for a 13-yard gain. Through eight games, Robinson now has 12 receptions for 155 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets. Despite the 49ers' offense missing Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle for multiple weeks due to injuries, Robinson never found a way to make an impact. Now that all three are sharing the field, Robinson stands little chance of being a dependable fantasy contributor and is a risky bet in Week 12.
Nov 22, 2025 5:55 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.
Nov 15, 2025 5:31 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will be granted at least one more week as the team's third wide receiver while Ricky Pearsall (knee) sits out a fifth consecutive game. Working behind Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), George Kittle, and Kendrick Bourne in the pass game will leave few opportunities for Robinson. In Week 5, when the 49ers and Rams met for the first time in 2025, Robinson was held to three catches for 39 yards, even though Jennings, Pearsall, and Kittle were all absent due to injury. Since Jennings and Kittle rejoined the starting lineup in Week 7, Robinson has seen a total of five targets and was held without a catch in two of San Francisco's three games. In Week 10, Robinson should not be on fantasy football rosters, let alone starting lineups.
Nov 8, 2025 5:17 AM EST
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.
Nov 1, 2025 5:55 AM EST
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.
Oct 25, 2025 6:10 AM EST
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.
Oct 18, 2025 12:20 AM EST
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.
Oct 15, 2025 3:31 AM EST
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.
Oct 11, 2025 6:16 AM EST
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.
Oct 8, 2025 12:20 AM EST
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.
Oct 2, 2025 2:16 AM EST
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.
Sep 28, 2025 8:42 AM EST
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.
Sep 26, 2025 9:34 AM EST
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.
Sep 22, 2025 6:27 PM EST
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.
Aug 24, 2025 4:31 AM EST
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.
