Breakout Time For Jauan Jennings In Week 4?

Friday, October 2, 12:46 PM

It has been a quiet beginning of the season for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings, but he could have a new opening when the team plays host to the Miami Dolphins now that star Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out. The veteran receiver played 80% of offensive snaps last week after Jefferson departed, but the bigger issue is that the Vikings' passing game has struggled immensely. Minnesota ranks last in the NFL in net yards per attempt, though they face a Dolphins defense that has allowed points on half of opponents' possessions. The matchup looks great, and Jennings should see an uptick in snaps, but the state of the Vikings' passing offense is likely too risky for most formats until quarterback Kyler Murray clicks with his new team. Jennings has a pathway to more involvement, but as RotoBaller's No. 63 receiver this week, he's likely best saved for deeper formats.

Xavier Hutchinson Returns to Complementary Role

Saturday, October 3, 5:17 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson will remain involved in the team's passing game against the Cowboys in Week 4, although he could be in a smaller role with Nico Collins returning from a two-week absence. Hutchinson has three catches on at least six targets in each of the first three games of this season. He had a season-high 51 yards in Week 3 against the Colts and also had two rushes for four yards. Hutchinson will likely rotate with Kayshon Boutte across from Collins against Dallas, and even though his connection with C.J. Stroud is strong, his reduced role has him as the No. 81 WR in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. He can be left on the waiver wire or your bench in most formats until the Texans' offense gets going.
