Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or DeMario Douglas

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted his lone target into an eight-yard reception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. It has been a quiet start to the year for Douglas, who has just three catches for six yards (plus a touchdown) through two contests so far. He has consistently been operating as the No. 3 wide receiver in New England. He also remains behind Hunter Henry and perhaps Austin Hooper in the pecking order. Douglas' snap share dropped from 63 percent in Week 1 to just 25 percent in Week 2. With a reduced role and limited volume, the 24-year-old can be dropped to waivers in most fantasy football leagues.
