Latest
San Francisco placed Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain on Sept. 26, a four-game minimum. He was activated off injured reserve this week and practiced fully Friday, carrying no injury designation into Sunday’s Week 9 game against Las Vegas — he’s now listed as San Francisco’s left-side WR1 on the depth chart.
Robinson hurt the ankle in the Week 2 win over Miami on Sept. 20, and Kyle Shanahan put typical recovery at three to six weeks. Before the injury he had five catches for 84 yards and a touchdown on six targets as San Francisco’s No. 3 receiver.
Fantasy Action: With Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Christian Kirk all out for Week 9, Robinson is a streamable flex as San Francisco’s new left-side WR1; Jordan Watkins is next in line behind him, with Brandin Cooks also in the mix.
