Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Rome Odunze

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is officially active for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Jennings had been listed as questionable, but there was increased optimism about his status heading into gameday. The shoulder issue limited Jennings to just 66 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday as he caught two of five targets for 16 yards. This week, he'll be playing with a quarterback downgrade as Mac Jones steps in for the injured Brock Purdy (shoulder). Jones still has a solid arm, and a favorable matchup against the Saints bodes well for Jennings. Plus, the 49ers will also be without George Kittle (hamstring), creating several vacated targets that could go Jennings' way. He's a solid WR3/flex option this week.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is putting together a strong second season in the Windy City. He hauled in six receptions and scored a touchdown in the season opener. Odunze was able to top that performance this Sunday. He snagged seven of his 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Odunze scored both touchdowns in the first half as the Bears tried to keep this a competitive game. It was an ugly loss for Chicago, but it's good to see Odunze and quarterback Caleb Williams building solid chemistry together. For Week 3, Odunze should be on the WR2 radar for their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. A defensive unit that just got carved up for 450 yards by Russell Wilson.
