2026 Fantasy Outlook
Robinson is a proven journeyman at this stage of his career, now entering his age-32 season with San Francisco after posting a 22-276-1 line across 14 games for the 49ers in 2025. He did flash within coach Kyle Shanahan’s system during the wild-card win over Philadelphia, recording a 6-111-1 performance while showing chemistry with QB Brock Purdy. On a weekly basis, Robinson projects for a reserve role, with the ability to step in if injuries arise. However, Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, Christian Kirk and rookie second-rounder De’Zhaun Stribling all appear firmly ahead of him on the WR depth chart, leaving limited room for consistent offensive involvement.

RANKS
Signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the 49ers in March of 2025.
Moved to injured reserve
The 49ers placed Robinson (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was carted off the field due to a right ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 2 win against the Dolphins, after which coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that the wide receiver likely suffered a high-ankle sprain. On Monday, Shanahan said that Robinson was facing a recovery timeline of 3-to-6 weeks, so this move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. Robinson will be first eligible to return to action Sunday, Oct. 25 in Atlanta, but with all of Christian Kirk (calf), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Robinson on IR, the 49ers will be going with Mike Evans (hip), Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge at wide receiver this Sunday against the Cardinals.

Robinson started all 17 games for the Rams last year, but he drew just 64 targets, with his 12.6 percent target rate being second lowest among WRs that ran 400 or more routes. A lot of his routes were of the clear-out variety, opening up space underneath for Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, although Robinson did occasionally make an impact with long gains (career-high 16.3 yards per catch) and touchdowns (seven, also a carer high). The divisional-rival 49ers signed Robinson to a two-year contract this offseason, perhaps viewing him as an insurance policy in case Brandon Aiyuk struggles to come back from an ACL tear, although Robinson will also be unavailable early in the season, missing the first three games due to a suspension. His role upon returning will largely depend on the health of the team's other wide receivers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed for bigger role
Robinson is the player most likely to benefit from the absence of De'Zhaun Stribling, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Deebo Samuel could see additional snaps as well, but Robinson has shown a good connection with quarterback Brock Purdy over the last couple years when both have been in the lineup. Stribling suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 that will keep the rookie out for at least a month, and with him off the field, Robinson caught two of three targets for 50 yards and a touchdown.
