Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Rome Odunze

Wednesday, October 15, 9:47 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Jennings played through five broken ribs during last weekend's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Jennings played 77 percent of the offensive snaps despite dealing with an ankle and obvious rib issues. At the moment, it seems like Jennings will be available for the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the injuries are likely impacting his performance, so he won't be an ideal fantasy option, assuming he's active.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has emerged as a breakout star through four games, totaling 296 yards and five touchdowns. Odunze has clearly claimed the WR1 role in Chicago, evidenced by his 90.7% snap share and 94.3% route participation rate, while continuing to build a strong connection with quarterback Caleb Williams. The Week 6 matchup is favorable, as the Commanders have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Odunze's strength against man coverage is another plus, especially since Washington runs man defense the 10th most in the league. The second-year receiver enters the week as a low-end WR1, with another opportunity to extend his breakout campaign.
