Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Zach Wilson

Saturday, October 25, 6:01 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will likely be in the team's starting lineup for Week 8 with Ricky Pearsall (knee) declared out. With Pearsall out in Weeks 5 and 6, Bourne exploded for 142 receiving yards in both games. His production cratered in Week 7, however, to two catches for 14 yards on two targets, while Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) earned seven. An increasingly healthy Jennings could remain a focal point on offense, and George Kittle's target share will assuredly grow after being used almost exclusively as a blocker in his return from injured reserve last week. Bourne's rapport with Mac Jones (knee, oblique), who will start again in Week 8, may be for naught with the increasing number of mouths to feed. Bourne projects as a borderline WR3/4 and will be a tough start against a Houston defense that ranks fourth in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson had been a healthy scratch for the first time last week, but his absence was short-lived as he returns to the backup role just one week later. While the former No. 3 pick will start the game on the bench, there's a chance that Wilson could see some playing time if Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle and is benched again. Last week, the starter threw three interceptions against the Browns, and now, he has an even tougher matchup against the Falcons. When Tagovailoa was benched last week, he was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who made his NFL debut along the way. Ewers completed five of eight passes for 53 yards, but he has been demoted. back to the inactives list in Week 8. The Texas product is a healthy scratch, serving as the emergency third quarterback.
