The Los Angeles Rams will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Demarcus Robinson.
Is Demarcus Robinson Playing in Week 15?
Robinson landed awkwardly on his right shoulder in the Los Angeles Rams’ epic shootout victory over the Bills. Robinson left the game and did not return. He is dealing with a minor sprain to his AC joint, which is something players often play through.
That said, Robinson did not practice on Monday or Tuesday, but was able to return on Wednesday. The Rams listed him as questionable, giving him a chance to play Thursday night against the 49ers.

Should You Start or Sit Demarcus Robinson in Week 15?
That’s now three straight games with no more than three targets and five straight without more than two grabs for Robinson. If you’re holding onto Los Angeles’ WR3 at this point, you’re stashing him as a way to chase TD equity.
That’s fine, it’s just awfully thin.
Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua vacuumed in 73.3% of Matthew Stafford’s targets last week, making the volume a near impossibility when it comes to projection math. Robinson has seen a deep target in every game this season, and while that’s great, it’s not so much when discussing a matchup with a top-three defense against those long passes in terms of passer rating, completion percentage, yards per attempt, and touchdown rate.
I’m never going to get there on a player like Robinson, which means I’ve missed out on some Flex-worthy production at points this season. If you’re less risk-averse than I, this is still a tough sell — save your good vibes for a home game against the Cardinals in Week 17.
