Robinson caught four of five targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Browns.
It was a season-best performance for the veteran wideout, and Robinson got into the end zone for the first time this year on a seven-yard strike from Matthew Stafford late in the third quarter. Robinson's increased role in the offense the last couple weeks has coincided with a resurgence from Stafford, but he remains firmly behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp on the depth chart heading into a Week 14 clash with the Ravens.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Does little with bigger role
Rotowire
Robinson caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 37-17 victory against the Cardinals.
Robinson wasn't listed as a starter for the Rams, but ended up on the field for a season-high 40 snaps on offense, far more than No. 3 wideout Tutu Atwell's 24, though it's worth noting the blowout nature of the game. Despite the big bump in playing time, Robinson was held to a pair of short catches, while Atwell turned in a respectable 3-76-0 performance. Notably, Cooper Kupp didn't look 100 percent throughout the game and also appeared to get dinged up again early in the contest, which may keep Robinson's role trending up heading into a tough matchup against an imposing Browns pass defense in Week 13.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Makes most of limited snaps
Rotowire
Robinson caught both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks.
Despite earning just seven snaps on offense, the veteran wideout made the most of his scant time on the field with a 23-yard catch early in the fourth quarter, which was the start of a key touchdown drive that helped the Rams pull off the comeback victory. Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with injury during the game, and if he were to miss any time, Robinson, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell would likely see an expanded role behind starters Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Healthy scratch Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson has played in each of the team's first four games, but with limited snaps, and he still has not seen a target on the season. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) returning, Robinson will be the odd man out in the team's receiving corps.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Non-factor in passing game
Rotowire
Robinson went without a target on his six snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.
Cooper Kupp's (hamstring) placement on injured reserve to begin the season hasn't opened up any extra work for Robinson, who boasts the most NFL experience of any of the five receivers currently on the active roster. Robinson has played just nine total snaps through two games while the Rams have relied on fifth-round rookie Puka Nacua and third-year man Tutu Atwell to pick up most of the slack in the passing game while Kupp is on the mend.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Blanked in finale
Rotowire
Robinson failed to bring in any of his four targets during Saturday's 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos.
While a goose egg in the reception department would normally be worrisome for a roster bubble candidate like Robinson, the Rams only managed 102 yards receiving all game, with only likely practice squad members Austin Trammell and Braxton Burmeister finishing with double-digit yardage. Tyler Johnson is Robinson's most likely competitor for a spot on the 53-man roster after Ben Skowronek joined Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua on the sidelines Saturday, a usual indicator from coach Sean McVay that a player has earned a spot on the team. Robinson's versatility may give him a slight edge over Johnson if the team chooses to only have six receivers in order to have more flexibility in other positions to open the campaign.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Two catches in loss
Rotowire
Robinson secured two of seven targets for eight yards during Saturday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Raiders. He also returned one kickoff for 24 yards.
Despite being on the field for 49 of the Rams' 54 offensive snaps, Robinson was only able to turn seven targets into two small receptions. Quarterback Stetson Bennett had an erratic night while running the offense, and the only Rams' pass catcher that had any success on the night was tight end Davis Allen, which helps lessen the blame being squarely on Robinson for a poor performance. With four wideouts (Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell) now essentially locked onto the roster, the final three or four wide receivers on the final 53-man will likely come down to Robinson, Ben Skowronek, Tyler Johnson and Lance McCutcheon, with McCutcheon looking like the odd man out at the moment.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Single snag in team debut
Rotowire
Robinson caught his only target for nine yards during Saturday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Despite a strong training camp, Robinson was targeted only once on 29 snaps and took a backseat to breakout performances from Puka Nacua (3-32-1) and Tyler Johnson (5-70-0). While Nacua seems to have secured a roster spot, Johnson's and Robinson's positions are more tenuous, which may give more weight to preseason performances from both players. The 28-year-old veteran will have another opportunity to showcase his talents Saturday, Aug. 19 against the Raiders.

Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Playing way into larger role
Rotowire
Robinson could be in for an expanded role after impressing early in training camp, Skyler Carlin of TheRamsWire reports.
Robinson and fellow veteran Tyler Johnson both signed with the Rams in the offseason, but Robinson has made the most headlines. The six-year vet has made plenty of catches during practice and earned high praise from head coach Sean McVay, who said he's "really liked what I've seen so far from Demarcus." With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and Ben Skowronek (back) both on the mend, Robinson should get an extended look during the preseason and may have worked himself into the mix for the No. 3 wideout spot alongside Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Undergoes sports hernia surgery
Rotowire
Robinson (sports hernia) underwent surgery Monday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner reports.
Robinson's recovery from the procedure to address a sports hernia injury shouldn't significantly impact his availability during offseason activities. The impending unrestricted free agent appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Ravens this season, in which span he secured 48 of 75 targets for 458 yards and two touchdowns.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Catches 41-yard TD in playoff loss
Rotowire
Robinson caught two of three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round loss to the Bengals.
Robinson got behind the Cincinnati defense for a game-tying, 41-yard touchdown in the third quarter. After coming eight yards short of his career high with 458 in the regular season, Robinson added just his second touchdown in 14 career playoff games. The former Chiefs wide receiver will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Held in check by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Robinson caught one pass for nine yards on three targets Sunday against the Steelers.
Robinson's usage has dropped off in recent weeks with two catches for 15 yards and a score on four targets over his last two games. He was previously trending upwards with at least five receptions in back-to-back games. Baltimore's passing game has sputtered in Lamar Jackson's absence with an average of 117.8 passing yards in Tyler Huntley's starts. The Ravens travel to Cincinnati for the regular season finale in Week 18.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Good to go for Week 17
Rotowire
Robinson (rest/groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Robinson got the day off Thursday but returned to full practice participation Thursday. The wide receiver will suit up against the rival Steelers on SNF for a Ravens offense that will once again be led by Tyler Huntley under center with Lamar Jackson (knee) unavailable.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Sits out Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Robinson didn't practice Thursday while he received rest for a groin injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Though Robinson's mid-week appearance on the injury report with a groin issue would normally be cause for concern, the fact that the Ravens also attributed his absence Thursday to rest suggests he'll likely be fine for Sunday's game against the Steelers. For the fourth straight week, Robinson looks like he'll be on track to draw targets from fill-in starting quarterback Tyler Huntley, as Lamar Jackson (knee) sat out his 11th straight practice Thursday and is trending toward another missed game.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Finds end zone Saturday
Rotowire
Robinson turned his only target into a six-yard touchdown in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.
Tyler Huntley completed only nine passes on the day as the Ravens leaned heavily on their ground game, and his only TD pass went to Robinson in the second quarter. It's the wideout's first touchdown since Week 2, and the first touchdown by any Baltimore wideout since Week 3. With the team having locked up a playoff spot Saturday, there may be no rush to get Lamar Jackson (knee) back into the lineup --possibly limiting the ceiling of Robinson and every Ravens pass-catcher in Week 17 against the Steelers.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Makes six catches
Rotowire
Robinson recorded six receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Cleveland.
Robinson continued to have an extensive role in the Baltimore offense, finishing second to only Mark Andrews in targets. While volume was on his side, Robinson failed to make a significant impact on the game, with his longest gain of the day going for only 14 yards. He should benefit from the return of Lamar Jackson (knee), as Robinson has established himself as the top wide receiver for the Ravens in recent weeks by tallying at least six targets in four of his last six contests.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (illness) practiced fully Wednesday.
After sitting out Tuesday's walk-through session, Robinson's return to full activity Wednesday should clear the way for his to handle his usual three-down role when the Ravens play the Browns on Saturday. What's less clear is what will go on at quarterback for the Ravens, as Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday. Meanwhile, top backup Tyler Huntley -- who started the Week 14 win over the Steelers before exiting with a concussion -- practiced Tuesday and Wednesday but still remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Huntley isn't cleared to start this weekend and Jackson remains out, the Ravens would likely turn to undrafted rookie Anthony Brown to pick up the start.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Misses walkthrough due to illness
Rotowire
Robinson was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice due to an illness.
As long as Robinson is able to get back on the practice field in some fashion Wednesday and/or Thursday, he'll likely be ready to play Saturday in Cleveland. After providing little production over the first half of the season, Robinson has emerged as a reliable member of the Ravens' receiving corps in recent weeks. Over the team's last six games, Robinson has recorded 29 receptions for 314 yards and no touchdowns on 39 targets.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Emerging as reliable target
Rotowire
Robinson recorded five receptions on six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.
The Ravens had minimal production through the air, as they were led by third-string quarterback Anthony Brown for much of the second half. Even so, Robinson led the team in receptions and yards, with his performance highlighted by a 23-yard catch midway through the first quarter. The rushing attack will remain the focal point of Baltimore's offense moving forward, but Robinson has five or more receptions in four of his last six games.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see how the Ravens do with Tyler Huntley starting for the injured Lamar Jackson (knee), but Robinson and Devin Duvernay (48 percent rostered) both played well against Denver in Week 13 with Huntley. Robinson had seven catches for 41 yards on eight targets against the Broncos, and Duvernay added six catches for 34 yards on six targets. In deeper leagues, it's worth looking into Robinson first for 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and he has scored at least 11 PPR points in two of his past three games. Duvernay is only worth 1 percent as well.
