Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Ryan Flournoy

Friday, November 21, 2:59 PM

San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne enjoyed a mid-season spike that saw him put up exactly 142 receiving yards in back-to-back games in Weeks 5 and 6. Since then, the 49ers' offense has gotten healthier, and Bourne is no longer a viable fantasy option. In Weeks 7 through 10, Bourne was still listed as a starter, but with All-Pro tight end George Kittle playing in all those games following a five-week absence, Bourne averaged only two receptions for 28 yards. In Week 11, Ricky Pearsall returned after a six-week absence of his own, and Bourne was limited to 13 offensive snaps and kept off the stat sheet. While his chemistry with Mac Jones made him a surprising fantasy producer just as bye weeks struck, it is apparent that Bourne is no longer a reliable piece of San Francisco's offense and can be dropped by any fantasy managers who have not yet done so.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy has seen his role in the passing game decrease in recent weeks. Last week, Flournoy hauled in his lone target for a two-yard touchdown in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Flournoy has finished with two or fewer receptions in four straight games. Sadly, there aren't enough targets to go around with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens seeing a majority of the action. At the moment, Flournoy is just a depth option in this offense. He should be considered a touchdown-dependent option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
