BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has now strung together 17.5 and 27.5 PPR fantasy points in consecutive games, and despite this making him an attractive fantasy starting option for many, he probably shouldn't be considered for lineups outside of deeper leagues.

He's made a few big plays in the past two weeks, but he's still just the WR3 at best in an offense that funnels as much work as possible to its best players. The majority of the offense runs through running back Kyren Williams and No 15's fellow WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua when those three are healthy and playing.
In addition, rookie wideout Jordan Whittington (shoulder) could return for Week 10, and he looked to be taking over the WR3 job before he got hurt. He out-targeted DRob 18-8 in Weeks 4 and 5, and gained 153 receiving yards to Robinson's mere 65. He's probably more like the WR4 of the team.
He could continue to make splash plays, but as the team's WR corps gets healthier, he will have less work. He likely wouldn't have had a huge game in Week 9 if Nacua hadn't been ejected, anyway.
