Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Tyquan Thornton

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Bourne hasn't hauled in a pass since Week 10. Honestly, Bourne hasn't been a factor in the offense since his five-catch performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. The 49ers are getting healthy on offense and Bourne is falling out of the offensive gameplan. Last week, Bourne saw a season-low nine percent of the offensive snaps during the win over the Carolina Panthers. Bourne is unlikely to help unless an injury happens, so the 30-year-old is best left on the bench ahead of Week 13.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (concussion) exited Sunday's loss to the Chargers in the concussion protocol. The wideout sustained this injury in the final frame after catching a 21-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes. Thornton finished the game with two catches on three targets for 47 yards. His yardage total trailed just Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce. With Marquise Brown unable to suit up due to personal reasons, Thornton saw a larger role. Managers should monitor his status leading up to their Week 16 matchup against the Titans. If he is unable to play, JuJu Smith-Schuster would likely see an increase in snaps but would not carry much fantasy value as their QB, Patrick Mahomes, exited this contest with a knee injury and is alos in danger of sitting out next week.
