Who Should I Start? Breshad Perriman or Demarcus Robinson

The Indianapolis Colts released veteran wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was trying to find a new home in Indianapolis this year after catching 20 of his 37 targets for 277 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (three starts) the last two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 29-year-old former first-rounder of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015 will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the 2023 regular season. In his seven NFL seasons with the Ravens, Browns, Buccaneers and Jets, Perriman has caught 145 passes for 2,343 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 games (25 starts).

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.
