Demarcus Robinson injury: status, history and who gets his targets if he is out
San Francisco 49ers · Wide receiver · status this week: ON RESERVE / IR (ESPN)
Over his 10 full seasons on record, Demarcus Robinson played 144 of 165 regular-season games (87%), and 2 of 6 so far in 2026. Season by season.
The San Francisco 49ers room absorbs +1.61 receptions, and Mike Evans takes the largest single share at +0.23. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the wide receiver room.
Where the work goes
Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.

What the data says happens
Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.
| Room | Receptions gained | n | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivers | +0.584 | 1,537 | 11.16 |
| Tight ends | +0.175 | 1,080 | 3.33 |
| Backs | +0.113 | 1,011 | 2.00 |
The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
