Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Jalen Nailor

Wednesday, October 8, 12:20 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson came out of last Thursday's 26-23 win over the Rams with just three receptions for 39 yards on seven targets. Despite the lackluster box score against his former team, Robinson led the team in routes run and air yards, and was second only to running back Christian McCaffrey in offensive snaps. The disappointing Week 5 performance will keep most managers away from burning FAAB dollars or waiver priorities on Robinson. However, if Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) are unavailable in Week 6, Robinson would be a sneaky late-week addition to fantasy football rosters and a dark horse flex candidate. Interested managers should monitor the situation in San Francisco closely throughout the week.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor didn't do much in the team's 48-10 blowout win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3 on Sunday in his last chance at an elevated role in Minnesota's passing attack. Nailor secured three of his five targets from veteran quarterback Carson Wentz for 37 yards, which was third on the team. His 37 yards were actually the most he's had in three games in 2025 in what was his best chance for an elevated workload with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three contests. Addison is set to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so the 26-year-old Nailor will likely have a reduced role. So far this year, Nailor has seven receptions on 13 targets for 96 scoreless yards. He belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues with Addison making his return.
