Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Luther Burden III

Saturday, December 13, 6:47 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson appears to be holding onto his spot on the depth chart behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Robinson drew more snaps than Kendrick Bourne for the third straight game in Week 13, leading into the 49ers' bye. The extra time on the field did not amount to any significant production, however, and Robinson finished the game with one carry for a six-yard gain. Despite injuries to Jennings, Pearsall, and George Kittle earlier this season, Robinson was unable to establish a greater role for himself. On the season, he has 13 receptions for 163 yards on 24 targets. He is unlikely to make an impact in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Despite a forgiving matchup against a bottom-tier defense, Robinson can be left off of fantasy football rosters entirely in Week 15.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III led the Bears in receiving in Week 14, hauling in four of six targets for 67 yards in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. With second-year receiver Rome Odunze (foot) inactive for last week's divisional showdown, Burden stepped up as a lead receiver ahead of veteran D.J. Moore. The rookie receiver played 71% of the snaps, trailing both Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus, who was trending down before last week. However, if Odunze misses Week 15, Burden could be a starting option in fantasy leagues. He faces a Browns secondary that will be without top cornerback Denzel Ward, who's out with a calf injury. Burden's value depends on whether or not Odunze will play in Week 15, as the rookie could go from a low-end WR3 to a bench option depending on his availability.
