Props are in order for Demarcus Robinson. He was never much of a player with Kansas City or Baltimore, but he’s got it going pretty good right now. Matthew Stafford keeps throwing multiple touchdowns, and Robinson has caught one of those touchdowns in four straight games.
The Rams elevated Robinson into their third receiver role in Week 11, and he’s been consistently chipping in. He’s not up there with the likes of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, but he keeps scoring. He’s caught 15 passes for 227 yards and 4 TDs in his last four games.
Robinson didn’t catch more than 4 TDs in any of his seven previous seasons.
It's not easy scoring in four straight games. It’s even rarer to see from a player on his second or third team.
In the 32-team era (since 2002) only 23 other wide receivers not with their original franchise have caught touchdowns in at least 4 straight games.
Robinson isn’t a frontline player, but makes some depth sense, given the way he keeps coming up big in the red zone.
The list of the four-game receivers appears below (only 7 of the 23 went on to score in a fifth straight game).
