Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Jaylen Warren

Monday, November 18, 12:07 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings continued his ascent as a fantasy asset in a Week 11 20-17 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee caught 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards, including a three-yard touchdown reception to give the 49ers a short-lived lead in the fourth quarter. All four receiving numbers were team highs. Jennings isn't just filling up the stat sheet with empty yards either. He's flashing skill and grit in big spots, which all but solidifies his go-to role in the offense for the rest of the year. With two consecutive 11-target games in the books, it's going to be very hard for fantasy managers to leave Jennings out of lineups in Week 12 when the 49ers travel to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has seen his usage trend positively over the past few weeks and will look to stay involved against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Unfortunately for Warren, the Browns have been stout against opposing backs this season, especially in the passing game. Cleveland has surrendered the second-fewest receptions and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per contest to the position. With Najee Harris getting the bulk of the work on the ground, it's difficult to project Warren for much success on Thursday night in what is expected to be the lowest-scoring affair of the week. The 26-year-old should only be viewed as a desperation flex option in most formats.
