Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Ricky Pearsall

Saturday, November 29, 6:34 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into the Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots. Robinson was limited in practice on Friday due to an ankle issue. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue as Robinson has been cleared for this Monday night contest. Robinson has stepped up in the absence of Malik Nabers (knee) lately. The 24-year-old has six receptions or more in three of his last four games. Quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is set to return after missing two games. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Robinson as a high-end WR2 for Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has not had the second-year breakout that many were predicting back in training camp. Injuries have been a big issue yet again, as he didn't return from a PCL sprain in his knee until Week 11 after getting hurt in Week 4. In three games since his return, the 25-year-old former first-rounder has caught only five passes for 20 yards on nine targets. Overall, he's sporting a 25-347-0 line in seven games. It's not like he hasn't been on the field since his return, as he's played at least 75% of the snaps in all three games. Fantasy managers who have hung onto Pearsall will be hoping that the Niners will devise a plan to get him more involved when they come out of their Week 14 bye to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Dec. 14. Better days could be ahead, but Pearsall is likely to continue to struggle for a high target share in an offense that has plenty of mouths to feed between Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings.
