Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Xavier Legette

Wednesday, October 8, 12:20 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson came out of last Thursday's 26-23 win over the Rams with just three receptions for 39 yards on seven targets. Despite the lackluster box score against his former team, Robinson led the team in routes run and air yards, and was second only to running back Christian McCaffrey in offensive snaps. The disappointing Week 5 performance will keep most managers away from burning FAAB dollars or waiver priorities on Robinson. However, if Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) are unavailable in Week 6, Robinson would be a sneaky late-week addition to fantasy football rosters and a dark horse flex candidate. Interested managers should monitor the situation in San Francisco closely throughout the week.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in action for the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Legette will return this weekend after a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The targets have been there for Legette, but the 24-year-old has been unable to make an impact. Through two games, Legette has hauled in four of his 15 targets for eight yards this season. The Panthers offense isn't having much success right now. Legette clearly needs to build more chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young. Legette is worth a stash in certain formats, but isn't worth a start for Week 5.
