Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Matthew Golden

Tuesday, November 25, 12:29 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught five of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. His first-quarter touchdown came on an impressive catch and run where he fought through two defenders on his way into the end zone. Jennings continues his strong stretch of production over the last four games, recording 19 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 27 targets. The recent return of second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall hasn't affected Jennings' production, with Pearsall totaling just three catches for nine yards in the past two games. The 28-year-old Jennings has been a reliable target earner for San Francisco alongside multiple other capable weapons and a heavy dose of touches devoted to Christian McCaffrey. Jennings will rank on the WR2/WR3 border again in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Golden missed the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the good news is he's no longer listed with a shoulder injury. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full practice in the next two days, he'll have a good chance of suiting up this Thursday to take on the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Golden won't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers if he returns, though, especially if Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) plays in his first game since Week 2. There's still plenty of long-term upside with Golden, but he has failed to make a big impact in his first nine NFL games in a crowded WR room in Green Bay, catching 24 passes for 286 yards and no scores.
