Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Matthew Golden

Tuesday, December 2, 5:00 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught four of a team-high six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the team's 26-8 win over the Browns in Week 13. With Sunday's trip to the end zone, Jennings now has a touchdown reception in four of the 49ers' last five games. The 28-year-old has ranked first or second in team targets in every game going back to Week 7, though that has not equated to fantasy success. Jennings has had 45 receiving yards or fewer during that stretch, his recent spate of touchdowns salvaging otherwise mediocre production. The 49ers are on bye in Week 14, but Jennings will have a chance to step things up against some generous opponents in the fantasy football playoffs. In Weeks 15 through 17, San Francisco faces the Titans, Colts, and Bears, all of which rank in the top ten in points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) remained limited for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The rookie has consistently appeared on the injury report for most of his first NFL season, and this latest ailment has put his status in doubt for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Golden, who has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns, ranks as the WR82 in PPR leagues this season. Even with Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), and Savion Williams (foot) all injured, Golden could struggle to carve out significant volume once again this week. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues despite Chicago allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
