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: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (hand) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Robinson exited in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at New Orleans with the hand injury, emerging from Week 13 with two catches (on three targets) for 49 yards and one touchdown. He's made end-zone visits in bunches this season and is currently on another two-game streak with scoring touchdowns. In order to have a chance to produce again Sunday against the Bills, Robinson may have to get back to full participation by week's end.

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: Arrested Monday after traffic stop
Rotowire
Robinson was arrested early Monday in Woodland Hills, Calif. on suspicion of driving under the influence, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Robinson reportedly was cited and released following the arrest. It's not yet clear how the legal matter may impact his playing status moving forward. The Rams next play Dec. 1 in New Orleans.

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: All cleared for Monday
Rotowire
Robinson (toe/hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jordan Whittington and Robinson were each cleared of their respective injury designations, which means the Rams will be at full capacity at wide receiver for one of the few times this season. Expect Robinson to see less work than last week, when he caught the game-winning touchdown, in part because Puka Nacua will be back after being ejected early in the Week 9 win over the Seahawks.

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: No practice Thursday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Robinson (toe) won't practice Thursday, but the wide receiver should be fine for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson has been on a scoring binge since Week 5, posting a 12-166-5 line on 20 targets over the last four games. Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua have been back in action for the last two contests, but Nacua's ejection this past Sunday in Seattle may have aided in Robinson's two-TD day. As for his health, Robinson has two more practices remaining this week in which to put himself in a position to play in Week 10, which is something that McVay seemingly expects him to do.

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.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
With Puka Nacua (knee) out, Cooper Kupp should dominate targets from Matthew Stafford, but Robinson and Tyler Johnson should also benefit. I'm going with Robinson over Johnson for now since Robinson was with the Rams last season and should have a better rapport with Stafford. Last year, Robinson scored at least 13.2 PPR points in each of his final five games. And in Week 1 against the Lions, Robinson had four catches for 42 yards on seven targets. Johnson also did well with five catches for 79 yards on seven targets, and his role will expand with Nacua out. Consider Robinson a potential flex option in PPR in Week 2.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Puka Nacua (knee) will miss at least four weeks, and we'll see how the Rams use Robinson and Tyler Johnson (1 percent rostered) as replacements. I give Robinson the slight edge given his role with the Rams, and last season he scored at least 13.2 PPR points in each of his final five games in the regular season. In Week 1 against the Lions, Robinson had four catches for 42 yards on seven targets. Johnson also did well with five catches for 79 yards on seven targets, and his role will expand with Nacua out. Robinson is worth 10 percent of your remaining FAB, and Johnson is worth up to 5 percent.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Grabs four receptions Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson brought in four of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Lions.
Robinson earned a spot on the Rams' Week 1 roster after serving as a backup in 2023. The long-time Kansas City Chief saw his role immediately increase after starter Puka Nacua (knee) had to be carted off the field in the middle of Sunday's 26-20 defeat. Cooper Kupp (21 targets) benefited the most from his teammate's absence, while Tyler Johnson (seven targets) also absorbed some of Nacua's workload in the second half. If the latter is forced to miss next Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Robinson could see a temporary boost in fantasy value and become a viable pickup in deeper formats.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Carves out a role on offense
Rotowire
Robinson caught 26 of 39 targets for 371 yards and four touchdowns during the 2023 regular season.
The veteran wideout took the field for just 32 snaps over the Rams first 10 games and looked to be nothing more than a depth piece for the Rams, but once pressed into a starting role Week 11, Robinson became a quality starter alongside Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp and posted a respectable 23-342-4 line over the Rams final seven games, while making three catches (on six targets) for 44 yards in the Rams' playoff loss to the Lions. While Robinson will be an unrestricted free agent heading into 2024, it wouldn't be shocking to see a reunion with the Rams going into his age-30 season thanks to his effectiveness and reliability as a starter in the latter half of the 2023 campaign.
