Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Rashee Rice

Friday, December 5, 11:01 AM

Across 11 games this season, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has recorded 41 catches for 458 yards and five touchdowns. As the 49ers hit their bye in Week 14, the 28-year-old is playing some of his best football. Across his last five games, Jennings has recorded 23 catches for 246 yards and four touchdowns on 33 targets. While San Francisco has other talented weapons on their offense, Jennings continues to play a highly consistent role in the team's passing game. He's seen at least six targets in six out of his last seven games played. Additionally, it appears 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) may not take the field at all in 2025 after San Francisco voided guarantees in his contract while he works his way back from a knee injury. Jennings looks like the WR1 in San Francisco and should remain a solid starting option for fantasy managers down the stretch of the season.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was a limited participant in Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, but followed that up with back-to-back full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rice does not have an injury designation heading into Thursday and should continue being a target hog in the Chiefs offense. Rice is coming off a great game in Week 11, where he caught eight passes for 141 yards in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old was the only player on the Chiefs to earn double-digit targets in last week's contest. Rice's success should continue on Thursday against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice should feast in this week's matchup, and he has a good chance of finding the endzone because he's scored four times in five games this season. Rice is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him one of the best options at the position this week.
