Who Should I Start? Randall Cobb or Demarcus Robinson

Thursday, July 18, 2:13 PM

Veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb is hanging up his cleats and will join the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst this year. Although Cobb hasn't officially retired, it's unlikely we'll see him again on an NFL field after he caught just five of 17 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in 11 games (one start) in 2023 for the New York Jets. The 33-year-old was a healthy scratch for most of the second half last season. Ten of Cobb's 13 years in the NFL came with the Green Bay Packers, who selected him in the second round (64th overall) in the 2011 NFL draft out of Kentucky. If this is indeed the end of the road for the 33-year-old pass-catcher, he'll finish his career in the NFL with 630 catches on 912 targets for 7,624 yards and 54 touchdowns in 166 regular-season games (88 starts) with the Packers, Jets, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will be granted at least one more week as the team's third wide receiver while Ricky Pearsall (knee) sits out a fifth consecutive game. Working behind Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), George Kittle, and Kendrick Bourne in the pass game will leave few opportunities for Robinson. In Week 5, when the 49ers and Rams met for the first time in 2025, Robinson was held to three catches for 39 yards, even though Jennings, Pearsall, and Kittle were all absent due to injury. Since Jennings and Kittle rejoined the starting lineup in Week 7, Robinson has seen a total of five targets and was held without a catch in two of San Francisco's three games. In Week 10, Robinson should not be on fantasy football rosters, let alone starting lineups.
