Who Should I Start? Allen Robinson or Demarcus Robinson

Detroit Lions wide receiver Allen Robinson II brought in his lone target for 21 yards during their victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday evening. Robinson's lone reception came in the third quarter. While the vast majority of the passing opportunities went to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs, it is a positive sign for Robinson to see more targets than the presumed No.3 option, Tim Patrick. Robinson has now seen at least one target in two of his past three contests. However, given how often Jared Goff looks to his top pass-catching options, Robinson may only see a handful of targets in each game moving forward. As a result, fantasy managers should not view Robinson as a viable play in Week 18 and in any postseason competitions.

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.
