Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Dyami Brown

Saturday, November 22, 5:55 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw little change in his utilisation in the wake of Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Robinson's snap share has hovered around 25% for most of the season, and that trend continued in the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals when Robinson checked in for 26% of the team's offensive snaps. Another trend that continued was his limited involvement when he was on the field, as he saw just one target that he caught for a 13-yard gain. Through eight games, Robinson now has 12 receptions for 155 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets. Despite the 49ers' offense missing Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle for multiple weeks due to injuries, Robinson never found a way to make an impact. Now that all three are sharing the field, Robinson stands little chance of being a dependable fantasy contributor and is a risky bet in Week 12.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown cleared the league's concussion protocol and was given the green light to play in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown had an opportunity for more involvement in the passing game with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) inactive, but he ended up playing just 37% of the offensive snaps while failing to catch his only target. Newcomer Jakobi Meyers led the Jags with 41 receiving yards on three catches, and Parker Washington scored through the air and on special teams. Brown has only 19 catches on 35 targets for 219 yards and one touchdown in eight games in his first year in Duval, but he makes more sense as a waiver addition in deeper leagues now that Hunter will miss the rest of the season. The 26-year-old will still be a boom/bust dart throw, though, and his short-term fantasy value will depend on whether Thomas misses more time with his ankle injury.
