Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Elic Ayomanor

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) logged an entire week of full practices for the first time this season. Week 8 won't be the best time to bet on a Jennings rebound, though. The emergence of Kendrick Bourne and the return of George Kittle mean Jennings won't necessarily be quarterback Mac Jones' (knee, oblique) primary focus, despite Ricky Pearsall (knee) being out again. Considering Houston's defensive prowess (fewest points allowed; 57.8% pass completion allowed), the 49ers are in for another run-heavy slog akin to their Week 7 matchup against the Falcons. Given his track record and the matchup, it is hard to see Jennings beating his projection as a WR3. Fantasy football managers are justified in leaving him on the bench.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will once again be asked to step up with this offense shorthanded this weekend. Top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out and will miss his second straight game. Last week, Ayomanor struggled as he hauled in two of his five targets for 29 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has failed to surpass 30 receiving yards in each of the last three games. The playing time will be there, but nothing seems to be going right for this Titans offense at the moment. Ayomanor might be able to offer flex value in PPR formats for the Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
