Who Should I Start? Randall Cobb or Demarcus Robinson

Thursday, December 28, 7:14 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (illness) is inactive for the Week 17 game on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns after coming into the game listed as questionable to play. As a result of Lazard being too ill to play, veteran Randall Cobb will be active for just the 10th time this season. He'll still be behind Garrett Wilson, Jason Brownlee and Xavier Gipson in the receiving pecking order and probably won't be on the field all that much on offense. The 33-year-old has only four catches on 16 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in his first year in New York. Lazard has been even more of a bust for the Jets in his first year in 2023, catching 23 of his 49 targets for 311 yards and a touchdown in 14 games. He was expected to be a solid No. 2 next to Wilson, but it hasn't worked out that way.

The Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million on Friday, according to Robinson's agency. Robinson will stay in Los Angeles after a productive 2023 season in which he caught 26 of his 39 targets for 371 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (four starts) in his first year with the team. The 29-year-old wideout added three catches on six targets for 44 yards in the playoff loss to the Detroit Lions. It was solid production, considering he was mostly the team's No. 4 pass-catcher behind Cooper Kupp, rookie Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell for most of the year. Robinson found the end zone four straight times in December to finish strong, but he'll have to battle for the No. 3 role behind Kupp and Nacua this summer.
