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

Saturday, November 15, 10:08 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has been the team's clear No. 1 target this season without Malik Nabers (knee) and has been a useful player for fantasy purposes. Robinson has racked up 53 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns on 79 targets in 10 games this season, averaging 12.5 PPR points per game. The 24-year-old has drawn 11 or more targets in three of his past four games and could see similar usage in Week 11 as the Giants will be without Darius Slayton (hamstring). The Giants will be starting Jameis Winston in place of an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) with an interim head coach in Mike Kafka after the firing of Brian Daboll earlier this week. Robinson should be in line for a busy day as the team's clear top target against a stout Green Bay Packers defense in Week 11. He is a solid start as a WR2 in 12-team leagues this week and ranks as RotoBaller's WR21 in PPR leagues.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals for the first time since spraining the PCL in his right knee way back in Week 4. Pearsall played a healthy 75% of the offensive snaps in Week 11, but he was targeted only two times by quarterback Brock Purdy, catching one of them for no gain. The 25-year-old was a full participant on Thursday in the first practice of the week, heading into a Week 12 game on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers. A full week of full practices could help the former first-rounder become more involved on game day this week in his second game back. The Niners were up big for most of the day last Sunday against Arizona, so they didn't need to air the ball out. The game script should be more favorable in Week 12, and Pearsall should be more involved as he continues to get his legs back under him.
