Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Adonai Mitchell

Sunday, August 24, 4:31 AM

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.
