Outlook Demarcus Robinson
Demarcus Robinson vs. Raiders — Opportunity knocks amid depleted receiver room
Demarcus Robinson is poised to make his return from injured reserve after practicing this week, having missed action since Week 2 with a high ankle sprain. His activation could not come at a better time for San Francisco, as starting wideouts Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. have already been ruled out. If active, Robinson slides into a prominent perimeter role alongside Jacob Cowing and tight end George Kittle.
While our models currently project him at zero fantasy points due to his questionable tag, Robinson carries upside in deep formats. San Francisco enters as heavy home favorites in an expected high-scoring environment against the Raiders. With only a 2% start rate, he is primarily a stash or desperation flex, but check back before kickoff to confirm he is officially activated.

Emmett Johnson vs. Jets — Big-Play Ability Offers Sneaky PPR Upside
Emmett Johnson has carved out an explosive complementary role behind Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's backfield, solidified with backup Brashard Smith sidelined on injured reserve. The rookie is coming off a monster Week 8 showing where he exploded for 128 receiving yards and a 73-yard score, showcasing league-leading elusiveness that has prompted Kansas City to design touches for him in space.
While his roster rate surged to nearly 45%, start rates remain modest around 6% due to limited pure carry volume. Our weekly projection pegs Johnson for roughly 38 total yards on 4 carries and 2 receptions against the Jets. With the Chiefs favored by double digits, Johnson provides intriguing flex upside in deeper PPR formats, though his weekly floor remains low given his reliance on big plays and passing-game efficiency.
