49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Nabs one reception as No. 3 WR
Rotowire
Robinson had one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards in Sunday's 41-22 victory over the Cardinals.
Robinson (27 snaps) stuck in the No. 3 role ahead of Kendrick Bourne (13 snaps) following the return of starter Ricky Pearsall (knee) in Sunday's blowout win. The 30-year-old Robinson failed to build off of last week's improved results (3-34-0), instead posting his fourth game recording one or fewer receptions through eight appearances in 2025. Robinson has not been a good fit in San Francisco, making him a risky play in fantasy against the Panthers next Monday.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Gets involved Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson had three receptions (on four targets) for 34 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.
Robinson returned to form after being held to five yards on two receptions (five targets) over his previous three appearances. Sunday's three-catch day matched the veteran's previous season high set against the Rams back in Week 5. Robinson's elevated play against his former club still resulted in a forgettable fantasy score, highlighting the overall disappointment of his tenure with the 49ers. The 30-year-old simply isn't doing enough to be a fantasy consideration for next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Continues to disappoint
Rotowire
Robinson finished with no receptions (on one target) in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Robinson was on the field for 33 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, finishing third behind starters Jauan Jennings (79 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (73 percent). The 30-year-old Robinson failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to fill in as the 49ers' slot receiver in a cushy matchup. Instead, he was held without a catch for the second time in the last three weeks. With just eight receptions in six active games, it's safe to say that Robinson has been a poor fit in San Francisco. The 49ers will host Robinson's former club, the Rams, on Sunday, but the veteran's lack of involvement dampens any excitement over a potential "revenge game" Week 10.
Robinson pulled in two of three targets for five yards while catching a successful two-point attempt in Sunday's 26-15 loss to Houston.
Robinson's two-point conversion reception on San Francisco's final scoring drive was the highlight of yet another disappointing fantasy effort. The veteran wideout was on the field for 57 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, but he still finished a distant third behind starters Jauan Jennings (85 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (79 percent). Robinson hasn't been able to carve out a significant role for a banged-up receiver room, and there's little evidence to suggest that his role will increase against the Giants next Sunday.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Blanked as No. 3 WR Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.
Robinson logged 23 snaps on offense (34 percent) as the 49ers' third receiver behind Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne on Sunday. The 30-year-old Robinson was an afterthought on offense in San Francisco's run-heavy game plan, resulting in zero receptions a week after recording his highest yardage total (44) this season. The fact that the coaching staff prefers Bourne -- who was claimed off of waivers in Week 2 -- over the team's biggest free agent signing this past offseason speaks volumes to how poor of a fit Robinson has been with the 49ers. Fantasy managers would have to be in a desperate situation to rely on Robinson against the Texans in Week 8.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Trio of grabs in elevated role
Rotowire
Robinson brought in three of seven targets for 39 yards in the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.
With Jauan Jennings (ribs/ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) joining Brandon Aiyuk (knee, reserve/PUP list) on the sidelines, Robinson shot up to No. 2 on the WR depth chart in only his second game in a 49ers uniform. The veteran wasn't overly efficient in his first opportunity to work with Mac Jones, but he turned in some solid gains on his trio of receptions. Kendrick Bourne, Christian McCaffrey and Jake Tonges all got more of Jones' attention, but Robinson could still have a meaningful role in a Week 6 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12 considering San Francisco could still be down multiple receivers.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Robinson made his 2025 debut in Week 4 against Jacksonville following a three-game suspension, and now he might be thrust into a starring role for the 49ers in Week 5 against the Rams, which would be a revenge game against his former team. Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (undisclosed) are both hurt, and Robinson might be needed as a primary weapon, along with Kendrick Bourne. I'll give a slight edge to Robinson as the San Francisco receiver to target, and he just had one catch for 20 yards against the Jaguars in Week 4. Robinson is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB in deeper leagues.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Grabs one reception in 2025 debut
Rotowire
Robinson caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to Jacksonville.
Robinson returned from a three-game suspension issued by the league, immediately slotting in as the fourth receiver on the 49ers' depth chart Sunday. The veteran wideout logged only 25 snaps on offense (38 percent), despite signing a contract this offseason to help bolster a depleted receiver room. Perhaps he was being eased back into action, but Robinson may be relied upon more against his former club Week 5 if Ricky Pearsall (knee) is held out of Thursday's tilt against the Rams.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Two catches in team debut
Rotowire
Robinson brought in both targets for 20 yards in the 49ers' 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
The veteran tied for second on the 49ers in catches in his official team debut. Robinson got involved immediately, recording an eight-yard reception on the first play from scrimmage while working with Mac Jones as his quarterback. Robinson would go on to add a 12-yard grab on the first play of San Fran's second drive, rounding out a brief but successful night to open the exhibition slate. Robinson could face some sort of league suspension after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge in July, but he's projected to start the 2025 campaign in a prominent role on a receiving corps that isn't expected to have Brandon Aiyuk (PUP-knee) available to start the season.

49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Pleads no contest to DUI charge
Rotowire
Robinson, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge stemming from his arrest last November, has been sentenced to three years' probation, the Orange County Register reports.
Robinson, who signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract in free agency with the 49ers in March, is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 31/505/7 receiving line in 17 games with the Rams. When available, the 30-year-old is on track to provide veteran depth to a San Francisco wideout corps that could be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) early on this season. Per Aidin Vaziri of the San Francisco Chronicle, the NFL has not announced whether Robinson will face discipline under its personal conduct policy.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Second on team in receiving yards
Rotowire
Robinson secured three of seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-22 NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles.
The veteran wideout was able to make a huge play in the first quarter, ripping a deep ball from Matthew Stafford out of the hands of cornerback Isaiah Rodgers for a 48-yard gain that led to a Joshua Karty field goal. It was a tale of two halves of the season for Robinson, as the majority of his career-high 505 receiving yards (on just 31 catches) came between Weeks 1 and 9. A second-half swoon saw four consecutive games where he was held without a catch, a troubling trend for Robinson, who enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Nets two targets in wild-card win
Rotowire
Robinson secured one of two targets for 23 yards during Monday's 27-9 wild-card victory against the Vikings.
Robinson was on the field for 38 of the Rams' 53 snaps on offense, eclipsed only by Puka Nacua, but he didn't garner much attention from Matthew Stafford on a slow day overall for the Rams' passing game. Robinson's lone catch came in the first quarter, and he saw only one more target the rest of the way, which falls in line with his volume in the latter half of the regular season. The Eagles, who kept Jordan Love and the Packers contained in their own 22-10 wild-card win, are up next for Robinson and the Rams in the divisional round.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Third straight game without catch
Rotowire
Robinson failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.
It was the same stat line for the third game in a row for the veteran, and the only pass sent Robinson's way was picked off by Jets safety Tony Adams. Despite continuing to be on the field at the same clip as fellow starters Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, Robinson hasn't secured more than two catches in a game since Week 9 and likely will continue to see a limited role on offense against the Cardinals in Week 17.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Blanked for second straight game
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) failed to bring in his lone target during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.
It was a miserable night for the Rams' pass catchers outside of Puka Nacua (7-97-0), as the rest of the team combined for just nine catches for 63 yards. Robinson's second straight goose egg for fantasy managers can be partially attributed to the rainy weather in San Francisco, but the shoulder injury that limited him to just a single practice prior to Thursday's contest didn't hinder his playing time; he was second on the team behind Cooper Kupp with 51 offensive snaps. Things don't get any easier for Robinson next week, as a formidable Jets pass defense is up next in Week 16.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Estimated as DNP again Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson hasn't logged any practice activity yet this week, putting his availability for Thursday's game against the 49ers in question. If Robinson is unable to go on the short week, Tutu Atwell would be next in line for snaps behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. The Rams will release their final injury report of the week Wednesday.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Officially DNP on Monday
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Robinson missed much of the third quarter Sunday against the Bills due to a shoulder injury but was able to return to action. On Monday, coach Sean McVay clarified the nature of Robinson's health concern, calling it an AC joint sprain, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. With a DNP to kick off Week 15 prep, Robinson now will have a maximum of two chances to prove his health ahead of Thursday's game at San Francisco.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Re-enters Sunday's game
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) returned to Sunday's 44-42 win against the Bills.
Robinson hurt his shoulder early in the third quarter but was on the field for Matthew Stafford's 17-yard TD connection with Cooper Kupp with 22 seconds remaining in that quarter. While Robinson didn't record a catch on his only official target, Stafford looked his way multiple times, only for pass interference to wipe away two different plays. One of them was a 56-yarder that didn't count due to offsetting pass interference calls, after which he exited the game for most of the third. Robinson will look to be more involved Thursday at San Francisco.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Gets back to full Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (hand) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Robinson suffered a hand injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at New Orleans and didn't return. After he opened Week 14 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, he got back to full participation one day later, setting him up to continue to serve as the Rams' No. 3 WR behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. In 12 appearances this season, Robinson has gathered in 28 of 53 targets for 433 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Will play this week
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Robinson won't be suspended for Sunday's game at New Orleans following the receiver's arrest Monday in Woodland Hills, Calif. on suspicion of DUI, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
Robinson may eventually be suspended by the league but should be available to handle his usual role this weekend, playing plenty of snaps in an offense where Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp dominate targets. Robinson had just five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets across the past three games, after catching eight of 12 targets for 129 yards and four touchdowns between Weeks 8 and 9.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Third on team in targets
Rotowire
Robinson secured two of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots.
Besides the target-hogging duo of Cooper Kupp (6-106-2) and Puka Nacua (7-123-1), Robinson and Tutu Atwell were the only wideouts to see any passes come their way. Robinson didn't manage to do much with those targets, however, and his 6-94-2 line from Week 9 is starting to look more like an outlier with Kupp and Nacua rolling. It'll be hard to trust Robinson in fantasy lineups against the Eagles in Week 12.
