Demarcus Robinson is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Consider in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: For a five-week stretch in 2023, Demarcus Robinson was a top-12 fantasy football wide receiver. That was with a healthy Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. One of the Rams' star wide receivers isn't healthy now.
Nacua injured his right knee, the same knee he injured during training camp, during the Rams' season opener. He returned for one play before leaving the field on the cart. He's been placed on injured reserve with a PCL sprain and will miss at least four games.
Robinson and Tyler Johnson saw an uptick in usage during Nacua's absence. Johnson outproduced Robinson due to a 63-yard catch-and-run on the final play of the third quarter. Robinson outsnapped Johnson and the pair earned seven targets apiece. Robinson caught four passes for 42 yards.
Almost every receiver on the field for 90% of the snaps, as was the case with Robinson on Sunday night, is worthy of a look in fantasy football. That's especially true on an offense that threw 49 times (the most in the NFL in Week 1).
"This may be the throw of the year... How does [Matthew Stafford] even SEE the guy down the field, much less falling backwards, fadeaway jumper, no-look, whatever the heck that was, and complete that 3rd down pass?! That is ridonkulous right there! Wow!" - Cris Collinsworth #NFL pic.twitter.com/BHsFuITCpD

The Rams face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, a defense that couldn't slow down the Buffalo Bills. Robinson will be in the flex conversation.
