Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Darius Slayton

Saturday, November 29, 4:23 AM

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 Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton hauled in two of his three targets for 41 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Slayton led the Giants in receiving in the game and found the end zone for the first time since Week 17 of last season. The 28-year-old hasn't been a huge factor for the Giants this season, totaling 26 receptions for 407 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in 10 games. He's operated as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson in recent weeks and has returned fringe flex value in fantasy football. Slayton and the Giants head into their Week 14 bye before facing the Washington Commanders in Week 15.
