Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Jameson Williams

Tuesday, November 11, 8:44 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught six of his nine targets for 71 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 10. He also lost a fumble in the team's 42-26 loss to the Rams. The touchdown was Jennings' second in as many weeks and his third of the season. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out, Jennings is the 49ers' unquestioned WR1. Jennings' production has not met preseason expectations, especially while being targeted on 25.4% of routes run. Week 10 was just Jennings' second top-24 finish among wide receivers, but as long as he continues seeing that kind of opportunity share, Jennings is still worth keeping in fantasy football lineups. Another good week could be in store when the 49ers face the Cardinals in Week 11. Jennings was inactive when the teams met in Week 3, but Pearsall posted 117 yards on eight catches in that game.

Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.
