Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Treylon Burks

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson appears to be holding onto his spot on the depth chart behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Robinson drew more snaps than Kendrick Bourne for the third straight game in Week 13, leading into the 49ers' bye. The extra time on the field did not amount to any significant production, however, and Robinson finished the game with one carry for a six-yard gain. Despite injuries to Jennings, Pearsall, and George Kittle earlier this season, Robinson was unable to establish a greater role for himself. On the season, he has 13 receptions for 163 yards on 24 targets. He is unlikely to make an impact in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Despite a forgiving matchup against a bottom-tier defense, Robinson can be left off of fantasy football rosters entirely in Week 15.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks saw his playing time crater in Week 14's game against the Minnesota Vikings with the return of Noah Brown from Injured Reserve. The former 2022 first-round pick played a season-high 65.9% of the snaps in Week 13 against the Broncos, recording one catch for five yards and a touchdown on four targets. With Brown back in the lineup for the first time since Week 2, Burks only drew one target, and his snap share slid to 34.7% against the Vikings last week, ranking fourth among Washington's receivers. The 25-year-old will likely be limited to a depth role again on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Burks hasn't shown enough in his first games in Washington to be considered as a fantasy option just yet, and that probably won't change before the year is over.
