Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or DeMario Douglas

Saturday, November 15, 5:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas isn't expected to see an increase in volume despite Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) being ruled out for a second consecutive week. Douglas caught just two passes on a 21 percent snap share with Boutte sidelined last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so he should handle similar volume on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth contributor this year, but it appears that he's firmly entrenched behind Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams in the pecking order. Fantasy managers should leave Douglas on the bench or the waiver wire this week.
