Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Jimmy Horn Jr.

Saturday, November 8, 5:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is in line for another start on Sunday when the team hosts the Los Angeles Rams. The last time the divisional rivals squared off, in Week 5, Bourne exploded for 142 yards on 10 catches. Bourne was pushed to the top of the pecking order in the Niners' passing attack in that game due to the injury-related absences of Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), and George Kittle. Pearsall will miss a fifth consecutive game in Week 10, but Bourne will share the field with a healthy Jennings and Kittle this time. Since both returned to action in Week 7, Bourne has registered a total of seven catches for 92 yards on eight targets. Bourne projects as a lower-end WR4 in Week 10, making him a flex candidate in deeper leagues but not a must-start by any stretch.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. hasn't made much of an impact on the field in recent weeks. Last week, Horn hauled in one of his two targets for one yard, while rushing the ball once for seven yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The good news is, Horn saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps during that game. That is the most time Horn has played on offense since his season debut in Week 5. It's possible that Horn does take snaps away from Jalen Coker who has been quiet since making his season debut in Week 7. For now, Horn isn't a viable streaming option, but is someone to watch in dynasty formats.
