Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Roman Wilson

Saturday, November 15, 5:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson scored the team's only touchdown in Week 10 and could find more ways to contribute against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith acknowledged Wilson's recent impact this week, noting that the second-year pro is "starting to show signs of his role increasing." With Pittsburgh still searching for a consistent WR2 behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III struggling, it's very possible Wilson earns more opportunities moving forward. Although this is an enticing matchup with a high projected point total, Wilson's limited involvement so far keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats. That said, he's an intriguing deep-league stash and a name to monitor on Sunday.
