Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or George Pickens

Tuesday, November 25, 12:29 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught five of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. His first-quarter touchdown came on an impressive catch and run where he fought through two defenders on his way into the end zone. Jennings continues his strong stretch of production over the last four games, recording 19 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 27 targets. The recent return of second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall hasn't affected Jennings' production, with Pearsall totaling just three catches for nine yards in the past two games. The 28-year-old Jennings has been a reliable target earner for San Francisco alongside multiple other capable weapons and a heavy dose of touches devoted to Christian McCaffrey. Jennings will rank on the WR2/WR3 border again in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday on the team's estimated injury report, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota. According to head coach Brian Schottenheimer, Pickens is dealing with a sore shin after Sunday's comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old is also listed with calf and knee injuries, so fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status going into Thursday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day. The expectation is that Pickens will be ready to roll in Week 13, where he should once again be heavily targeted in the passing game. Pickens leads Dallas in catches (67), targets (92), receiving yards (1,054), and touchdowns (eight) in his first year with the team. If active on Thursday, Pickens is a must-start in fantasy despite the tough matchup.
