Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Rome Odunze

Tuesday, June 16, 8:10 AM

After holding out for a larger offer for a significant chunk of the offseason, wide receiver Jauan Jennings eventually signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings for the 2026 season. The veteran wideout has been a productive player in recent years with the San Francisco 49ers, recording 132 catches for 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns on 203 targets across 30 games over the past two seasons. However, Jennings is entering his age-29 season and played through myriad injury issues in 2025, both of which could have held down his value on the open market. After largely playing the WR1 role last season in San Francisco, Jennings' target outlook in Minnesota is less rosy thanks to the presence of wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Jennings should still see plenty of playing time and could be a valuable red-zone weapon, but his production could fade back to where it was at earlier points in his career with the 49ers, when he was the third option behind wideouts Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel Sr. In dynasty formats, Jennings profiles as a sell-high candidate entering 2026.
