Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Jayden Reed

Saturday, November 15, 5:00 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had his most productive game since Week 2 in last week's loss to the Rams. Jennings had a season-high six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown against Los Angeles. The score was his second in as many weeks. Jennings' recent spike in productivity has been a welcome turnaround for fantasy football managers who held onto him through several weeks of injuries and single-digit fantasy scores. In Week 11, Jennings stands to benefit from the return of Brock Purdy (toe) to San Francisco's starting lineup after a six-game absence. Also coming back is fellow receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee), whose return will be a double-edged sword for Jennings. On the one hand, Pearsall might eat into Jennings' target share, but on the other, the former's presence might open things up for the latter to do more with less. Jennings projects as a WR3 with upside against a beatable Cardinals secondary in Week 11.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) appears to be ramping up his rehab, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Reed is still on Injured Reserve, but he was "working up a sweat" on a side field during Thursday's practice. The Packers have yet to open up Reed's 21-day practice window, but that might not be far off. The 25-year-old former second-rounder is rehabbing from a broken collarbone and a fracture in his foot that has kept him sidelined since Week 2. Despite the long layoff, Reed should become a big part of Green Bay's offense when he's back in the fold. Early in his career, he's proven to have a nose for the end zone, scoring 18 touchdowns (15 receiving, three rushing) in his 35 games (24 starts). The Packers have a crowded wideout room, but Reed, who is currently rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues, deserves to be stashed in fantasy with his return looming.
