Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Jaylen Waddle

Monday, August 11, 5:51 PM

Matt Barrows of The Athletic said that he watched San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) do a "very light workout on a side field" on Monday, doing high knees, jogging and ladder drills. After that, Jennings went back inside the weight room. Jennings hasn't practiced with the rest of the team since the first week of training camp, when he aggravated a calf injury that also bothered him during spring workouts. The 28-year-old is also in the midst of negotiations with the team on a contract extension, so it's not as if Jennings is in a rush to get back on the field. He's probably not going to play in the team's second preseason game this weekend, but there's no current reason to believe he's in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. With Deebo Samuel Sr. gone and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) possibly out until Week 6, Jennings is a popular breakout candidate in 2025 if he's healthy.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was held out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle suffered a minor injury during a joint practice with the Bears on Friday. He continued by saying he didn't want any of his starters playing through injuries. It's unclear what is going on with Waddle, but for now fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Fantasy managers should get more updates on his status throughout the week.
