Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Kyle Williams

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams should continue to see more involvement during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Williams is coming off a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he posted a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 56 percent snap share. He caught one of two targets in the victory, breaking off an impressive 72-yard touchdown that wound up on numerous highlight reels. While we can't count on the rookie to break off a huge touchdown every week, last Sunday's big play should be enough to earn him more opportunities going forward. His volume will also continue to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who is headed for his second consecutive absence. Williams still has to compete with players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas for volume, but he's certainly starting to earn the trust of Drake Maye and New England's coaching staff. Williams is a WR5 with a low floor and high ceiling this week. Managers in most leagues can leave him on the bench until we see him consistently earn more targets.
