Demarcus Robinson Expected To Move Into Starting Lineup

Thursday, October 2, 2:16 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is expected to slide into a starting role with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) out for Week 5. Robinson made his season debut in Week 4 after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy in the offseason. San Francisco eased Robinson into action with a 25% snap share, and he saw just two targets, catching one pass for 20 yards. Robinson should see more action this week, though his lack of conditioning might see him lose snaps to Skyy Moore or Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It is worth noting that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will also be sidelined, with Mac Jones getting the start. As a projected WR5, it would be inadvisable to plug him into starting fantasy lineups, especially with the 49ers playing on Thursday, in the first game of the week.

Jordan Whittington's Extreme Usage a Promising Sign Entering Week 5?

Thursday, October 2, 1:09 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington continues to see his snap share increase ahead of Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. Whittington played 80 percent of the snaps in Week 4, which was not only his highest mark of the season but was also just three percentage points lower than Davante Adams and one percentage point lower than Puka Nacua. The second-year Texas product is seeing the field nearly as much as his superstar teammates, but it hasn't amounted to much production. He caught just one pass for seven yards last Sunday and ranks outside the top 100 fantasy receivers. As long as both Adams and Nacua are healthy, Whittington will remain off the fantasy radar despite being third on the depth chart and playing the vast majority of offensive snaps.
