Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Noah Brown

Tuesday, December 23, 6:26 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his first touchdown pass of the season in the team's 48-27 win over the Colts on Monday night. Robinson finished the game with two catches for 22 yards and the score on two targets. Outside of the trip to the end zone, Robinson did not benefit from Ricky Pearsall's (knee, ankle) absence from the game. Instead, Robinson appears to have slipped back behind Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart, seeing a 44% snap share to Bourne's 70% share. Given his lack of involvement in the offense all season, fantasy football managers shouldn't read too much into Robinson's touchdown on Monday. It is too early to know Pearsall's status for Week 17, but even if he is held out, Robinson should not be relied on in the fantasy football championship round.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) has been placed on Injured Reserve, per JP Finlay of NBC 4 Sports. The team has also signed veteran wideout Chris Moore from the practice squad to the active roster as the corresponding move. The IR placement ends what has been an injury-ravaged season for Brown. He appeared in just four games this season for Washington, recording five receptions for 83 yards on 10 targets. The 29-year-old has had a difficult time staying healthy in recent years, playing in just 25 games over the past three seasons. With Brown sidelined, Commanders wideouts Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane should see more opportunities alongside Washington's star wide receiver duo of Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr.
