Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Keon Coleman

Sunday, October 12, 7:54 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle) told ESPN's Nick Wagoner that he is currently playing through five broken ribs, as well as high-ankle and low-ankle sprains. Jennings missed Week 5 due to injury but was able to get on the field in Week 6, albeit with limited results. He saw just three targets in the Niners' loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, catching one pass for seven yards. 49ers fans and fantasy managers will appreciate Jennings' ability to play through injury, but if he can't produce much, it's fair to question whether he would be better off focusing on his recovery and returning to the field when he's back to 100 percent. It will be important to monitor his practice status when the 49ers publish their injury reports from Wednesday through Friday. San Francisco returns to action next Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. A healthy Jennings is a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3/flex. However, his ranking would drop a little if he's less than 100 percent.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman will look to bounce back in Week 6 after cooling off since his explosive eight-catch, 112-yard debut. Over his last four games, Coleman has averaged just 3.3 receptions for 28.5 yards while posting a modest 10.8 yards per catch--a steep drop from his 19.2 average as a rookie. The 22-year-old could see a slight boost in usage if tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is sidelined, but he'll face a tough test against the Falcons' top-ranked pass defense. Atlanta has stifled opposing wideouts all season, and Coleman's fantasy value will likely hinge on volume and red zone looks. He remains a risky, touchdown-dependent WR4 heading into Monday night's matchup.
