Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Tre' Harris

Thursday, October 2, 2:16 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is expected to slide into a starting role with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) out for Week 5. Robinson made his season debut in Week 4 after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy in the offseason. San Francisco eased Robinson into action with a 25% snap share, and he saw just two targets, catching one pass for 20 yards. Robinson should see more action this week, though his lack of conditioning might see him lose snaps to Skyy Moore or Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It is worth noting that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will also be sidelined, with Mac Jones getting the start. As a projected WR5, it would be inadvisable to plug him into starting fantasy lineups, especially with the 49ers playing on Thursday, in the first game of the week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris was more involved in Week 2, catching two passes for 34 yards on three targets in Monday night's win against the Las Vegas Raiders. He increased his snap share from 7.9% to 30.4% and ran eight routes (27.6% of snaps). The rookie will face a tough Denver Broncos secondary, so Harris will need to make the most of his limited opportunities. Ladd McConkey (bicep) is off the injury report, but if there are setbacks between now and game time, Harris could get the start in three-receiver sets. RotoBaller projects him as WR106, and he should continue to be a valuable stash in most formats.
