Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Decent output as starter
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and an assist across 33 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 loss to the Lakers.
Robinson-Earl got the start due to the absence of Trey Murphy (hamstring) and posted a solid line, ending just one rebound shy of a double-double and playing with some much-needed energy in a depleted lineup that's lacking confidence right now. Murphy is expected to return for the game against the Mavericks on Tuesday, and if that's the case, then Robinson-Earl is likely to return to a bench role.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Scores 15 off bench
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
With Trey Murphy back from injury, Robinson-Earl moved to the bench, but he still saw a healthy workload and made the most of his minutes.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Retreats to bench Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl will come off the bench in Monday's matchup versus the Nets.
With Trey Murphy making his season debut Monday, Robinson-Earl will slide to the bench after starting in two of the Pelicans' last three games. The 24-year-old will likely still see significant run off the bench with Murphy limited to 20 minutes, and he will continue to play a significant role until Zion Williamson (hamstring) returns to game action.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Moves back to bench role Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
This is not a surprising move, as Robinson-Earl will head back to the bench due to the return of Zion Williamson (thigh) to the starting lineup. Robinson-Earl is averaging 14.5 minutes per game this season, and his fantasy upside should be close to minimal now that he's returned to a second-unit role.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Strong two-way play Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl produced 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.
With Jordan Hawkins (back) and Zion Williamson (thigh/hamstring) getting ruled out ahead of the game and joining Herbert Jones (shoulder), Trey Murphy (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (thigh) in street clothes, Robinson-Earl made his first start of the campaign. The veteran missed just two shots from the field and made his presence on the glass, although his contributions weren't enough for a depleted Pelicans team that looked outmatched. Even if he remains in a starting role, Robinson-Earl is nothing more than a low-end streaming alternative in most formats.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation.

Rotowire
Robinson-Earl racked up zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.
Robinson-Earl put up a bag full of nothing in the loss, continuing his underwhelming season. He is well outside the top 400 this season, playing in just 34 games. With no clear path to minutes, there is no reason to think his role will change, making him a non-factor in all formats.
