Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Van Jefferson

Saturday, November 29, 3:55 PM

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.

Across 13 games this season, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has recorded 23 receptions for 237 yards and a touchdown on 42 targets. The 29-year-old has earned consistent playing time in Tennessee since Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (leg) first started dealing with injury issues this season. Across seven games since Week 6, Jefferson has played at least 73% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in every contest. Despite the consistent snap share, Jefferson has recorded no more than four receptions or 75 receiving yards in a game this season. His production upside appears capped by both his own lack of explosiveness and the Titans' larger offensive struggles. In Week 15, Tennessee will take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that has held two straight opponents to fewer than 10 total points. Jefferson should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 15.
