BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: An unfortunate series of events has led the Rams to this reality: Demarcus Robinson is the WR1 in Los Angeles.
Puka Nacua (knee) was placed on injured reserve following Week 1. Robinson and Tyler Johnson were the initial replacements in the last waiver-wire cycle. Robinson would see an uptick in targets while Johnson was the direct understudy for the "Puka Nacua role."
Now, it's just a mess. Cooper Kupp left the stadium in a walking boot following their blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Robinson, Johnson, Tutu Atwell, and rookie Jordan Whittington are the top healthy receivers. Robinson is the only one who was routinely on the field prior to the injuries.
Demarcus Robinson led the rams with 28 routes run, per PFF data. Rookie Jordan Whittington was the Cooper Kupp replacement, playing 16 more snaps than Tutu Atwell.

With Kupp likely to be placed on injured reserve as well, Robinson is now the de-facto top target for Matthew Stafford. Without his top receivers and several offensive linemen, the Rams' offense cratered against Arizona.
Robinson is a fantasy football add based on volume alone, but it may be tough sledding for the Rams. Dates with two great defenses, San Francisco and Chicago, are on tap.
