Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Jake Bobo

Saturday, February 21, 10:14 AM

Across 16 games in 2025, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne recorded 37 receptions for 551 yards on 53 targets. A significant chunk of Bourne's production came in a two-game stretch in Weeks 5 and 6, when he hauled in 15 receptions for 284 yards on 20 targets. As the 49ers' pass-catching corps got healthier in the later part of the season, Bourne's role faded out of fantasy relevance. Bourne is now set to hit free agency ahead of 2026, which will be his age-31 season. Fellow 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings is also a free agent, and star San Francisco tight end George Kittle (Achilles) could miss a chunk of 2026 with a torn Achilles tendon. As a result, a return to San Francisco could mean Bourne has a role in the team's passing game, especially early in the year. However, the veteran wideout's best days appear to be behind him, and he may not play a fantasy-relevant role in 2026 and beyond.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (hand) played 35 offensive snaps in the Super Bowl LX win over the New England Patriots despite being less than two weeks removed from hand surgery, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Bobo had a pin put in his right hand to fix a metacarpal fracture the day after the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. "Got the stitches out yesterday and was ready to go," Bobo said on Sunday after the Super Bowl victory. The 27-year-old caught two passes on three targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the first two playoff games, but he wasn't targeted at all in the Super Bowl. Bobo caught both of his targets for 20 yards in 11 regular-season games and will enter this offseason as a restricted free agent. Regardless of where Bobo is playing in 2026, he'll be off the fantasy football radar.
