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: Suiting up Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) is listed as active Thursday at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Ram's official site reports.
Robinson was contained to one limited practice (Wednesday) during Week 15 prep due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Bills. Nevertheless, he'll be available to the Rams offense Thursday, likely handling the No. 3 WR role behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Such a gig has resulted in a 28-433-7 line on 54 targets for Robinson in 13 contests this season.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson missed a good portion of the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Bills due to a shoulder injury but was able to return to action. Since then, he was estimated as a non-participant Monday, didn't take part in Tuesday's walkthrough and then was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. Robinson thus has a chance to suit up Week 15, something that'll be confirmed one way or the other when the Rams post their inactive list 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

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: Dealing with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Robinson (shoulder) sustained an AC joint sprain during Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills, making his status uncertain for Thursday's road matchup against the 49ers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Robinson finished with zero catches (on one target) during Sunday's high-scoring affair, though he had a number of notable plays, including what would have been a 56-yard catch, wiped away by penalties. He also briefly left the game due to a shoulder injury but was able to retake the field. McVay said he hopes Robinson's availability for Week 15 won't be impacted, but the veteran wideout's practice status will need to be monitored leading up to Thursday's contest.

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: Hurts shoulder Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Bills, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
At the time of his departure early in the third quarter, Robinson had been held without a catch on one target. As long as Robinson is sidelined, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith will be the options at wide receiver behind the top duo of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

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: Sustains hand injury in Week 13
Rotowire
Robinson suffered a hand injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Before departing in the middle of the fourth quarter, Robinson had hauled in two of three targets for 49 yards and one touchdown. With Robinson on the sideline, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith will be the available wide receivers to the Rams offense behind the top pair of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

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.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Grabs one catch on MNF
Rotowire
Robinson had one reception (on five targets) for 23 yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to Miami.
Robinson overcame minor toe and hip injuries in order to suit up as the Rams' third receiver in Monday's defeat. The veteran wideout couldn't replicate his strong output from the previous two weeks with both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp active against the Dolphins. Expect Robinson to continue operating as Matthew Stafford's third or fourth option when the Rams visit the Patriots on Sunday.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Let's see if Robinson can continue to find the end zone. In his past two games, Robinson has four touchdowns with eight catches for 129 yards on 12 targets. He's scored twice in each game, and before you say that's tough to trust, let's look at last season. Robinson scored four touchdowns in his final five games in 2023 while playing as the No. 3 receiver behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, so maybe he can keep this up. The Dolphins pass defense is nothing to fear, and I would start Robinson as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Just one grab
Rotowire
Robinson secured one of three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 20-15 victory over the Raiders.
Robinson tied with Tyler Johnson for the most playing time among wideouts, with 50 of 55 snaps played on offense, but Johnson (seven targets, four catches for 57 yards) and Tutu Atwell (nine targets, six catches for 51 yards) commanded the lion's share of Matthew Stafford's attention. Even with Jordan Whittington (shoulder) limited to just nine snaps and no targets, Robinson's role didn't expand, and his usage likely will continue to decrease as Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to return for a Week 8 contest against the Vikings.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Tallies first touchdown
Rotowire
Robinson recorded three receptions on five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
Robinson continued to see his role fade relative to Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. However, he contributed a few key catches, the most important of which was a one-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter that got the Rams within one score. Despite the key reception, he has failed to reach 50 yards in all but one game on the season.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (hip) practiced in full Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
One day removed from logging a capped session Wednesday, Robinson returned to full participation, paving the way for him to continue being a part of the Rams receiving corps Sunday against the Packers. With WRs Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined, Robinson hasn't been lacking in offensive snaps this season, earning at least 85 percent in all four games. Still, Robinson has mustered just a 9-161-0 line on 18 targets for the season while Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington have taken on larger target shares the past few contests.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Turns one catch into 32 yards
Rotowire
Robinson caught one of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
Robinson filled in for a undermanned Rams receiving corps against a division rival. The former Chief, who had two targets in Week 2, still lacks the consistency necessary to be a must-start option in standard fantasy leagues. Robinson should have use in deeper formats heading into Sunday's tilt against the Bears.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
The Rams need someone to step up with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) injured, and Robinson will hopefully be a go-to target for Matthew Stafford. Jordan Whittington, Tyler Johnson, and Tutu Atwell are also potential No. 3 Fantasy receivers in deeper leagues, but Robinson should have the best rapport with Stafford and the most upside in Week 3 against the 49ers. In his past three home games, Robinson has 12 catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns, and he scored at least 14.7 PPR points in each outing. San Francisco has also allowed four receivers to score at least 12 PPR points in two games this year.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Leading receiver on four targets
Rotowire
Robinson had two receptions (four targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Robinson finished as the Rams' leading receiver after star wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) was knocked out of Sunday's tilt in the first half. The latter was spotted in a walking boot following the blowout loss, which doesn't bode well for Kupp's availability for Sunday's upcoming matchup against the 49ers. Robinson could lead a barebones Rams receiving unit in yardage (like he did in Sunday's contest) in Week 3 due to Puka Nacua (knee) already mending on injured reserve.
