Fringe WR can fully unlock 49ers offense in Seahawks playoff tilt

All season, unlikely heroes have emerged for the San Francisco 49ers. Last week, it was wide receiver Demarcus Robinson who had a huge game in the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia Eagles.

And the Niners will need him to step up again.

Robinson had his biggest game all season, hauling in six receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown. A huge 61-yard grab on the first possession set the tone and led to a touchdown, again to Robinson, just a few plays later which showed Philly that San Francisco had come to play.

Now, with Ricky Pearsall's status uncertain for Saturday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and George Kittle done for the season after tearing his Achilles, Robinson is going to be relied on in a huge way again.
