Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Quentin Johnston

Saturday, November 22, 5:55 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw little change in his utilisation in the wake of Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Robinson's snap share has hovered around 25% for most of the season, and that trend continued in the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals when Robinson checked in for 26% of the team's offensive snaps. Another trend that continued was his limited involvement when he was on the field, as he saw just one target that he caught for a 13-yard gain. Through eight games, Robinson now has 12 receptions for 155 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets. Despite the 49ers' offense missing Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle for multiple weeks due to injuries, Robinson never found a way to make an impact. Now that all three are sharing the field, Robinson stands little chance of being a dependable fantasy contributor and is a risky bet in Week 12.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston looked like the team's top receiver to begin the year, but he's cooled off considerably in recent weeks and heads into the team's bye in Week 12 after putting up a donut on just three targets in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the second time in the last four games that he finished with no catches. The 24-year-old former first-rounder out of TCU does have six touchdown grabs in 10 games in 2025, but half of those came in the first two weeks of the season. Since Oct. 5, Johnston hasn't gone over 53 receiving yards in a game and has scored only twice. With a banged-up offensive line in L.A., Johnston's rest-of-season outlook could be rough. The Bolts have a plus matchup coming out of the bye against the Raiders in Week 13, but after that, they have the Eagles, Texans, Chiefs, and Broncos -- all difficult matchups.
