Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Jauan Jennings

Friday, September 12, 1:57 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers cemented himself as the offense's most reliable option in Week 1, drawing 10 targets and converting eight into 97 yards. As the veteran presence in a young receiving corps, Meyers has quickly earned the trust of Geno Smith, thriving as a chain-mover while Tre Tucker and Dont'e Thornton Jr. stretch the field vertically. His high-volume role makes him a consistent fantasy asset, and if Brock Bowers (knee) is sidelined, Meyers could see an even larger workload as the Raiders lean on his reliability. Ranked as RotoBaller's WR22 for Week 2, Meyers should be locked into starting lineups across all formats.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) injured his ankle in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and will be evaluated day-to-day through this week, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. It's been one thing after another for Jennings health-wise since offseason workouts, when he suffered a calf injury. The 28-year-old missed most of training camp and all of the preseason after aggravating his calf issue before injuring his shoulder in the season-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that he looked healthy and operated as the WR1 on Sunday against the Saints, catching five of 10 targets for 89 yards and his first touchdown of 2025. Jennings will at least be in play as a WR4/flex if he's active in Week 3 against the division-rival Cardinals, but if he's out or limited, Ricky Pearsall would be the top target for quarterback Mac Jones.
