Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Jordan Addison

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.

While Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has had his share of struggles as he adapts to the NFL, wide receiver Jordan Addison accepted blame for Minnesota's issues in the passing game last week. The Vikings dropped six passes in Sunday's loss against Chicago, including two by Addison, both would-be first downs, one of which had a chance to score a long touchdown. "If I make those types of plays, we win. No doubt," Addison said, according to The Athletic. The third-year receiver had two catches for 20 yards and connected with McCarthy on the go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, but the Vikings' lax kick coverage quickly gave up the advantage as the Bears kicked a field goal as time expired. From a fantasy perspective, Addison has now had four straight weeks of fewer than four catches, making him difficult to trust in standard formats for the time being.
