Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Romeo Doubs

Saturday, December 27, 5:31 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 16, but was only involved enough to see one other target and finished the game with two catches for 23 yards and the score. Since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, Robinson has slid back behind Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart, but saw a slight uptick in playing time last week with Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) sidelined due to injuries. Pearsall is questionable for Week 17, as is tight end George Kittle (ankle). Even if both players were to be declared inactive, Robinson would be a long shot to provide fantasy value. In 12 games with the 49ers, Robinson has averaged 2.3 targets per game and owns a 17-222-1 line despite the many injuries to key pass-catchers throughout the season. Robinson is too low of a priority in the 49ers' pecking order to warrant use in the final weekend of fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a nice week in Week 16 and looks to parlay that into a second consecutive nice game as the Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens in a pivotal Week 17 showdown. In Week 16 against the Bears, Doubs put up a 5-82-1 line on six targets, leading the Packers in all receiving categories as Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) left the game and Malik Willis came in. Both quarterbacks are questionable for Saturday's Week 17 tilt, leaving some doubt about how much the Packers will pass the ball. With Christian Watson (shoulder/illness) questionable for Saturday's game, Doubs could see more targets directed his way if Watson doesn't play. However, with Green Bay's willingness to run the ball, passing volume is an issue for any Green Bay pass-catcher. Consider Doubs a low-end flex play for Week 17's matchup against Baltimore, which allows the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers.
