Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Kendall Hinton

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings and the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a one-year deal that will pay the former 49er up to $13 million in 2026. While missing two games in his final season with San Francisco, the 2020 seventh-round pick out of Tennessee recorded 643 yards and nine touchdowns, this after making a career-high 77 receptions for 975 yards in 2024. With Jennings reportedly expecting a more robust market for his services, the one-year prove-it deal will allow him to test free agency again in 2027. Meanwhile, after the team's third receiver, Jalen Nailor, agreed to a three-year, $35 million deal with the Raiders, the Vikings have arguably upgraded the position at a fraction of the cost. Jennings will round out a receiver room of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton, creating an environment in which quarterback Kyler Murray could thrive while on a one-year deal of his own.
