Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Cedrick Wilson Jr.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne took a big step back in the team's 41-22 dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. With Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall (knee) both on the field for the first time since Week 4, Bourne's snap share went from 68% in Week 10 to 25% in Week 11. Bourne finished the game without a single target. Bourne was riding high after back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6, when injuries to Jennings, Pearsall, and George Kittle forced him to the top of the pecking order in the 49ers' passing game. As his teammates have recovered and returned to action, Bourne has seen his role diminished and has just nine targets over the 49ers' last five games. At this point, Bourne is simply a depth piece for San Francisco and holds very little potential to help fantasy football teams in Week 12.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. is a healthy scratch in Week 7 against the hosting Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It's the second straight week that Wilson has been a healthy scratch, and it's not a good sign for the 29-year-old's involvement in the Dolphins' offense the rest of the season with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season. He also missed time earlier this year due to a knee injury, and he has not officially been active at all yet in his return to the Dolphins in 2025. Last year in 15 games (four starts) with the New Orleans Saints, Wilson caught 20 of his 27 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown. With Wilson being a healthy scratch again, Miami will move forward with Jaylen Waddle as its clear No. 1 receiver. Behind him will be Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but tight end Darren Waller should be quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's No. 2 target.
