49ers WR Battle: Veteran Demarcus Robinson Faces Odds Against Youth

Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver room is nearly full, leaving veteran Demarcus Robinson fighting for a roster spot against younger prospects.

With De'Zhaun Stribling, Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk locking down four spots, the 49ers must decide between veteran Demarcus Robinson and unproven rookies Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins.

Robinson shined in the playoffs with 111 yards against the Eagles, but his regular season production was limited. Meanwhile, Cowing and Watkins, both fourth-round picks, offer upside despite injury-restricted playing time in their rookie years. rocore.sbs
