Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Tetairoa McMillan

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.

Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13, but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.
