Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Rico Dowdle

Saturday, November 23, 2:10 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should be viewed as a risky flex option heading into a Week 12 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Over the past two weeks, Robinson has seen at least four targets in each contest but caught a total of just three passes across both games. However, in Week 9, Robinson enjoyed his best outing of the season, bringing in six of his nine targets for 94 yards and two scores. Despite seeing a consistent target share, Robinson has been unable to produce a consistent fantasy output. In addition, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver room remains quite crowded with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, which will always hinder Robinson's weekly ceiling. Facing a tough Philadelphia Eagles secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, fantasy managers should view him as a risky flex option in deeper formats.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is one of the lone healthy players on the offense heading into Week 13. Despite Dallas' struggles running the ball behind a young offensive line, Dowdle grades as a flex option this week against a Washington defense that surrenders the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Dowdle could see even more touches than usual if star receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) misses Sunday's tilt, making him a high-end flex option. His ceiling is limited due to Dallas' offensive struggles, but Dowdle should be started in most formats with loads of byes across the league.
