Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Alec Pierce

Saturday, December 13, 6:47 AM

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's clash with the Seahawks. Pierce finished the 2024 campaign with seven touchdowns, a career-high. However, he has only scored twice this season. While the decline in trips to the end zone is a significant concern, he at least appears well on his way to having his best year in terms of receptions and receiving yards. With Indy desperately trying to remain in the postseason conversation, the team will look for a win over Seattle on Sunday. The Seahawks have one of the most formidable defenses in the National Football League, which would make life difficult for anyone. Yet, it may be an even tougher week for Pierce and the rest of the pass-catchers, considering Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) will take over in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the year. With that in mind, Pierce isn't the safest fantasy option by any means in Week 15, so managers might want to consider other options, especially with Jonathan Taylor rumored to be more involved than usual.
