Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Chris Olave

Saturday, November 22, 5:41 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings held onto his role at the top of the depth chart despite Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Jennings, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle led the team in targets with six apiece, though Brock Purdy's (toe) three touchdown throws went to the latter two, leaving Jennings with a mediocre 4-54-0 line in a 41-22 rout of the Cardinals. Jennings is in line for a more productive game in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina's secondary has been slipping lately, resulting in a top-12 finish for an opposing wide receiver in three of the last four weeks (the gap filled by a top-24 performance). Jennings straddles the line between WR2 and WR3 in Week 12 projections and is worthy of a starting slot in fantasy football lineups.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Olave's first 100-yard game of the season was highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Saints already traded Rashid Shaheed at the deadline and have also ruled out Brandin Cooks, as the team is set to waive him at his request. This opens up even more opportunity for Olave, who is already third in the league in targets. He'll carry a 60-664-4 line into a matchup against the Falcons, who just allowed 448 passing yards to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Olave is a borderline WR1/WR2 for that contest.
