Demarcus Robinson fantasy outlook, waiver wire picks after Rams WR’s two touchdowns vs. Vikings | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Demarcus Robinson found the end zone several times in the Los Angeles Rams’ 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings Thursday Night Football.

Robinson caught two passes for 35 yards and two touchdowns, both scores coming in the second half, helping Los Angeles win.

The veteran stood out despite the returns of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, as both star wide receivers were out with injuries for several weeks prior to the contest.

Robinson could be a target for fantasy football managers looking to place him on waivers following performance. According to FantasyPros, he is currently available in 90 percent of Yahoo leagues and 87 percent of ESPN leagues.

The 30-year-old should continue to receive playing time going forward, as he appeared in at least 85 percent of Los Angeles’ offensive snaps through the first six weeks of the season (via Pro Football Reference).

However, managers should be cautioned that the additional defensive attention given to Kupp and Nacua does not necessarily mean Robinson will be able to produce every week. He was targeted just three times against the Vikings and hasn’t seen more than five tackles in a game since Week 1.

In six appearances prior to Thursday night, Robinson averaged just 33 yards per game and scored one touchdown.

It’s also worth noting that Kupp and Nacua picked up right where they left off, combining for 12 catches and 157 yards while scoring at least eight times each.

While Robinson could be a viable addition to see if he can maintain the end zone finding ability he demonstrated in Thursday’s win, he also represents a major risk for managers.
