Who Should I Start? Isaiah Hodgins or Jauan Jennings

Saturday, December 13, 12:11 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has played close to a full-time role since getting signed off the Steelers' practice squad a few weeks ago. Hodgins has played 76.6% of the offensive snaps while recording eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in three games. The 27-year-old should continue to see steady playing time and targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton in a positive Week 15 matchup against the porous Washington Commanders defense. The Oregon State product earned six targets in each of his first two games, but had only one in their most recent game against the Patriots in Week 13 before the bye. Hodgins profiles as a deep-league flex option in a favorable matchup in Week 15.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings took yet another trip to the end zone in Week 16, extending his streak to a fourth game. He has at least one touchdown in six out of the 49ers' last seven games. In Monday night's 48-27 win over the Colts, Jennings caught five of his six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. The yardage was the most Jennings turned in since the 71-yard game he recorded in Week 10. Jennings' fantasy value has been largely touchdown-dependent, as he has averaged just 3.8 receptions and 43.5 receiving yards per game in 2025. Jennings has been one of Brock Purdy's preferred targets, though, and the receiver has a promising matchup in Week 17. In the fantasy football championship round, San Francisco will host the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the second-most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
