Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Xavier Worthy

Saturday, November 8, 5:14 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) carries no designation into the team's Week 10 rematch with the Los Angeles Rams. Jennings, along with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and George Kittle, missed the teams' first matchup in Week 5 due to injuries, leading to a ten-catch, 142-yard bonanza for Kendrick Bourne. Jennings himself torched Los Angeles to the tune of 11-175-3 in Week 3 last season. Since returning from his absence, Jennings has not been very productive, though he still has been a focal point of the 49ers' offense. Over the last three weeks, he had a 24.7% target share and 34.6% air yard share. The Rams will likely have their attention focused on Christian McCaffrey on Sunday, which could open things up for Jennings to take another step forward. He projects as a WR3 and can be started in most leagues in Week 10.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Worthy caught five passes for 53 yards in the 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Last week marked Worthy's third game of the season with at least five receptions. With Rashee Rice stepping back into the WR1 role and Travis Kelce reemerging as a top option, the speedster may continue to be relegated to a tertiary role in the Kansas City offense. That said, Worthy was able to put up a decent stat line regardless of the blowout, and he may be able to build on that this week. Worthy and the Chiefs face the Bills, who have allowed the ninth-fewest points to opposing wide receivers this season. Even with his diminished workload, Worthy is still an explosive player and can break off a long play at any moment. Worthy is ranked WR28 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, placing him just outside WR2 but firmly in WR3/Flex territory this week.
