ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his biggest game of 2024 when he caught two passes on three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns. However, he needed the two scoring grabs to crack 12 PPR fantasy points for the first time this season, and that's an unsustainable pace.

In addition, both of the Rams' star wide receivers, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, were on snap counts, which meant that Robinson had more opportunity than he would normally and still only earned three targets. He just happened to get end zone work on both plays.
This also came in the absence of rookie WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), who was held out of the game due to a shoulder issue. When Kupp and Nacua are both fully healthy and return to full playing time, and the freshman WR returns, it will be hard for Robinson to find consistent playing time.
While he could get a larger role in case of injury, he failed to impress even when both of his team's top-2 WRs were out for several weeks in a row. Three targets in a game without Whittington doesn't give many signs of optimism.

Still, having one of the better […]
