Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Joshua Palmer

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Receivers Mecole Hardman (calf) and Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) were listed as non-participants. Palmer missed Weeks 8-10 with ankle and knee injuries, but he was able to return to action on Sunday in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old played 50% of the offensive snaps but caught only two of his five targets for 17 yards. It was an especially disappointing stat line with receiver Keon Coleman out for disciplinary reasons and tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by injury in a game in which the Bills put up 44 points and moved the ball at will against Tampa. Even if Coleman and Kincaid both miss another game this Thursday night, Palmer should be faded in Week 12 in a much tougher matchup against the Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense.
