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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 8, 2024 9:50 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson secured six of his nine targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks. His first touchdown came in the third quarter and brought the Rams' within three points of their division rivals. The second score came in overtime and won the game for Los Angeles. The play, which ended up as the Rams' longest of the game, was a 39-yard bomb that Robinson brought in with his right arm while he was fending off a defender with his left. Robinson's increased role was likely the result of the ejection of Puka Nacua just before halftime. Sunday's effort marks the second consecutive game in which Robinson has had two touchdowns. Despite the deluge of scoring, he will be hard to depend on in fantasy as he will revert to his status as the Rams' third wide receiver when Nacua returns in Week 10.
Nov 4, 2024 3:56 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was expected to take a backseat during last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Robinson did only see three targets, but he hauled in two of them for 35 yards and two touchdowns in the win. His fantasy value was saved by the two scores otherwise it would've been a quiet night for Robinson. The expectation is that Robinson would see less targets with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua (knee) back in the mix. However, Nacua is banged up and could see a limit on his snaps if he does play on Sunday. That means, Robinson could see more targets coming his way on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't rush to add Robinson, but he could be a boom-or-bust option for desperate fantasy managers in deep leagues.
Nov 3, 2024 10:56 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson cashed in on some open field and a great dime from Matthew Stafford in the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He turned three targets into two receptions for 35 yards and two touchdowns. One play saw him wide open in the end zone while the other was a great catch off of a tremendous throw from Stafford right past the defender, and both plays were right outside of the red zone. Robinson can benefit from defenses paying more attention to Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, but he becomes a riskier play now that he's third or fourth in the target order.
Oct 25, 2024 10:18 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could not take advantage of the multi-week absences of teammates Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee). In Week 7's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Robinson experienced a new low, finishing with a single catch for nine yards, bringing his reception total to 13 through the Rams' first six games of the season. Kupp carries no injury designation heading into the Rams' Thursday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and Nacua is listed as questionable. The return of one or both would cement Robinson's status on the margins of LA's passing game. Working in Robinson's favor is the fact that Minnesota is susceptible to the pass and is allowing the most fantasy points per game to the position in 2024. There is a possibility that Robinson breaks a long play but his chances will be so few and far between that he should be avoided altogether in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2024 3:24 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was the lone pass-catcher to find the end zone in the 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. He finished the game with three receptions for 28 yards and a score on five targets. In terms of target share, Robinson was fourth in line after Colby Parkinson, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell all saw double-digit targets. Robinson at least salvaged a bit of fantasy scoring with his touchdown for any of the fantasy managers who needed his services. The Rams move into their bye week next, which may be enough time for Cooper Kupp (ankle) to return in Week 7, which would lower Robinson's fantasy ceiling.
Oct 7, 2024 9:56 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is still searching for his first game of the season with double-digit fantasy points. The veteran has been an upside-based, big-play threat so far, playing at least 85 percent of snaps in all four weeks but failing to catch more than two passes in any of his last three games. Robinson has been utilized as an option deeper downfield, which naturally leads to more contested passes and fewer receptions. Still, every game, he's one big gain away from having WR3/FLEX relevance, especially in his increased role with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) still sidelined. This week, he's facing a Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed the eighth-most touchdowns and ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. Fantasy managers can evaluate him as a low-end WR4 for the time being.
Oct 5, 2024 9:39 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hip) has been dealing with a hip issue which caused him to be a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. The good news, for the injury-riddled Rams, is that he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and he's trending in the right direction. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) still not practicing, Robinson is in line for added opportunities alongside Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. In the Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears, Robinson finished with three targets, two receptions, and 37 yards. The matchup against the Green Bay Packers presents a better situation this time around though.
Oct 4, 2024 9:10 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had just two catches for 37 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears. With Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the shelf, most assumed Robinson would benefit the most. However, that hasn't happened. Instead, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington have gotten more involved, with the duo combining for 10 grabs for 144 yards in Week 4. With that in mind, Robinson has worked his way out of the flex conversation for Week 5 versus the Packers. That won't change beyond Week 5 unless he turns things around.
Sep 29, 2024 7:34 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will square off against a tough Chicago Bears defense on the road in Week 4. Robinson will have his work cut out for him in this one, as he'll take on one of the league's better pass defenses through three weeks. LA has one of the highest pass rates in the NFL (tenth), but quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown just two touchdowns across the team's first three matchups, and it will be tough to trust any Rams wideout this week. The 30-year-old veteran is probably the best bet of the Rams' pass catchers regarding volume, as he has the second-most targets on the team (15) behind Cooper Kupp's (ankle) 27. However, he won't be a recommended option -- even with the team still without Kupp and Puka Nacua (knee). The Florida product has seen four targets in each of his last two contests but turned them into just three catches for 82 yards. Consistency could be hard to come by again, as Stafford spreads the ball around quite a bit without his superstar wideouts. Robinson is RotoBaller's PPR WR54 in this week's rankings.
