Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Kyle Williams

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will be granted at least one more week as the team's third wide receiver while Ricky Pearsall (knee) sits out a fifth consecutive game. Working behind Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), George Kittle, and Kendrick Bourne in the pass game will leave few opportunities for Robinson. In Week 5, when the 49ers and Rams met for the first time in 2025, Robinson was held to three catches for 39 yards, even though Jennings, Pearsall, and Kittle were all absent due to injury. Since Jennings and Kittle rejoined the starting lineup in Week 7, Robinson has seen a total of five targets and was held without a catch in two of San Francisco's three games. In Week 10, Robinson should not be on fantasy football rosters, let alone starting lineups.

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.
