Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Quentin Johnston

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) did not practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It's never a good sign when a player appears on the injury report late in the week, suggesting an injury occurred during practice. Johnston has struggled to produce in the Chargers' injury-riddled, quick-passing offense, catching two passes for eight yards on three targets last week. If he is cleared to play, he faces a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards this season. Although the potential injury to Chiefs defensive back Trent McDuffie (knee) offers a slight hope, Johnston's role as a downfield threat is being limited by the team's injured offensive line and quarterback Justin Herbert's tendency for short throws. The game is once again expected to be run-heavy. RotoBaller ranks Johnston as WR44 this week. Considering the tough matchup, the limited passing game, and his low floor, Johnston remains a touchdown-dependent WR4 who should only be started in deeper leagues.
