BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his best game of the season, catching two of his three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, he's unlikely to score touchdowns in every game this season, and his usage wasn't encouraging.
This is a really good route from Rams WR Demarcus Robinson. Sells the post and then breaks to the back corner.

Without more targets, he's unlikely to produce that kind of fantasy output many more times this season. The team's star WRs, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua (knee) returned to the lineup, and they dominated the passing game workload. That's unlikely to change when they're both on the field.
In a strange development, Nacua injured his knee yet again in practice on Friday and was forced out of practice. While the injury wasn't described as serious by Rams head coach Sean McVay, it's something that fantasy managers should keep their eyes on. Robinson could become a fringe starter in deeper leagues if Nacua can't go.
Here’s everything of note #Rams HC Sean McVay said about Puka Nacua in today’s presser ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
As for this week’s game, there’s not any actionable coachspeak here. It sounds like Puka’s close for this week and would be a good bet for next week if he misses Week 9.

The second-year pro is listed as "Questionable" for Sunday's game, making Robinson a decent deep league stash and desperation handcuff for Week 9.
