Demarcus Robinson To Be Avoided Week 4
6 months agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will square off against a tough Chicago Bears defense on the road in Week 4. Robinson will have his work cut out for him in this one, as he'll take on one of the league's better pass defenses through three weeks. LA has one of the highest pass rates in the NFL (tenth), but quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown just two touchdowns across the team's first three matchups, and it will be tough to trust any Rams wideout this week. The 30-year-old veteran is probably the best bet of the Rams' pass catchers regarding volume, as he has the second-most targets on the team (15) behind Cooper Kupp's (ankle) 27. However, he won't be a recommended option -- even with the team still without Kupp and Puka Nacua (knee). The Florida product has seen four targets in each of his last two contests but turned them into just three catches for 82 yards. Consistency could be hard to come by again, as Stafford spreads the ball around quite a bit without his superstar wideouts. Robinson is RotoBaller's PPR WR54 in this week's rankings.

Demarcus Robinson Could Return To Los Angeles
2 months agoAccording to Sara Barshop of ESPN.com, free-agent wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could return to the Rams for the 2025 season. Barshop noted that Robinson would provide the Rams with a depth option in the wide receiver room that is familiar with the playbook. In addition, with the team exploring potential trade partners for Cooper Kupp, Robinson would be a stable option in their starting lineup. This past season, Robinson found the back of the end zone seven times, which set a career-high. He caught 31 passes for 505 yards. While the 30-year-old opened the season as the No. 3 option behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, both wideouts missed during the season, which opened up targets for Robinson for several weeks. If Robinson re-signs in Los Angeles, fantasy managers should expect him to return to a similar role and be a viable option in deeper formats.

Demarcus Robinson Totals 74 Yards In Rams Loss
2 months agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had three catches for 74 yards in a snowy game against the Eagles in the Divisional Round. He was targeted seven times, which was tied for third on the team and second among wide receivers. Robinson had a 48-yard catch at the end of the first quarter that set up the Rams' early field goal and also had a key third-down conversion on the Rams' final drive of the game. Ultimately, that drive came up just short as the Rams turned the ball over on downs with under a minute left. Robinson established himself as a strong third receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. His one-year deal with the Rams expired at the end of the season, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent after 31 catches for 505 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in the regular season.

Demarcus Robinson Set As Rams Third Receiver
2 months agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson played 72% of the team's snaps in their Wild Card Round win over the Vikings. He actually played more snaps than Cooper Kupp but only had two targets, one catch, and 23 receiving yards. The Rams passing game could struggle in the weather in Philadelphia, but Robinson is getting enough playing time to deserve consideration as a punt play for DFS contests. He did have some good games earlier in the season and scored seven touchdowns. One of those scores came against the Eagles in their regular season meeting, and he'll have touchdown-dependent upside this week in the rematch.

Demarcus Robinson Charged With Misdemeanor DUI
3 months agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI, according to the Office of the Los Angeles Attorney. Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Nov. 25 after police officers saw him driving more than 100 mph. He will be arraigned in late February. The Rams didn't suspend Robinson after he was arrested in November, with head coach Sean McVay saying the team would "let the legal process take place." The 30-year-old started all 17 games in 2024 and surprisingly led the team with seven touchdowns despite finishing fourth with 31 catches and 505 receiving yards. With the charges coming out for Robinson just days before the Rams take on the Minnesota Vikings in Arizona on Monday night, it remains to be seen if LA will suspend Robinson. If Robinson is active, he'll be a touchdown/dependent WR3/flex for playoff lineups.
