Demarcus Robinson is a viable deeper-league add who saw 63% of snaps and led the 49ers in route share at 77% following Stribbling's injury. While he has a history of popping up as a red-zone target, the team is expected to rotate him, Deebo Samuel, and others in two-receiver sets rather than relying on a rigid snap distribution.

Robinson slots in as the third WR option for the 49ers behind Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel after De'Zhaun Stribling suffered an ankle injury that will sideline him for at least a month.

Robinson, rostered in 0% of leagues, is a strong add as a WR3/flex option in deeper PPR formats after De'Zhaun Stribling's ankle injury (out ~1 month) and with Ricky Pearsall already sidelined. Robinson caught two of three targets in Week 1, including a 39-yard TD, finishing with 12 fantasy points. He was second among 49ers WRs in snaps (63%) and should start opposite Mike Evans. Robinson has a track record of productive spurts on good teams (Chiefs, Ravens, Rams) and was huge in the wild-card round last season (6-111-1 vs. Eagles). The 49ers' next two opponents (Dolphins, Cardinals) are soft matchups.
