Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Allen Lazard

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his one and only target for an eight-yard gain in Week 12. It was his second straight game with a single reception, bringing the 30-year-old veteran's season-long production to 13 receptions for 163 yards on 23 targets. Even amid the rash of injuries to the 49ers' offense, Robinson failed to make an impact. That is unlikely to change, now that Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee), and George Kittle are all active again. In Week 13, San Francisco is on the road to face the Browns, who have given up the second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. The forecast in Cleveland calls for 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow, making it unlikely that the 49ers' open up their passing attack and provide Robinson with more work. He can be left off of fantasy football rosters this week.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (coach's decision) has been inactive for the last two weeks, and he's trending toward being a healthy scratch again in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Lazard went from playing 78 percent of the snaps in Week 8 to being a healthy scratch for the Jets' next game, and he has been inactive ever since, even with the Jets trying to find ways to replace Garrett Wilson (knee). So far, Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie III, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams have been the Jets' preferred replacements for Wilson, leaving Lazard as the odd man out. With all five of those receivers healthy, it looks like Lazard is heading for more of the same. Don't expect him to suit up against Baltimore.
