Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Dontayvion Wicks

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are both listed as questionable for the team's Week 12 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Wicks was limited in practice all week, while Williams had a limited session on Thursday sandwiched around two DNPs on Wednesday and Friday. Receivers Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), and Bo Melton (shoulder) have been cleared, while rookie Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is also questionable. Even if the 24-year-old Wicks is cleared to play, fantasy managers will have a tough time convincing themselves he's worth a starting lineup spot in fantasy football. Wicks has just 18 receptions on the year on 30 targets for 181 yards and no touchdowns.
