Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Dontayvion Wicks

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.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky says that both Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Matthew Golden (wrist) were limited due to their injuries in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, allowing Bo Melton to move into the No. 4 receiver spot. Melton caught a big 45-yard touchdown pass on his only reception of the day. Wicks only played 11% of the offensive snaps on Sunday, with Golden playing 9% of the snaps. Wicks wasn't targeted at all, while Golden was unable to secure his lone target on the day at Lambeau Field. Both Wicks and Golden figure to be on the field more if they can put their respective injuries behind them, but Green Bay's receiving corps is now as healthy as it has been all year with the return of Jayden Reed. Wicks' six-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving will most likely end up being an outlier performance in 2025.
