Who Should I Start? Lil'jordan Humphrey or Jauan Jennings

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is second on the team this year in targets behind Courtland Sutton, but he cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups for the Monday night matchup in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. The matchup is a good one for fantasy purposes, with the Browns allowing the seventh-most half-PPR points per game to the position, but Humphrey could see even more competition for targets if Josh Reynolds (hand) returns from Injured Reserve. In addition, rookie Devaughn Vele has been more involved of late and has essentially become rookie QB Bo Nix's No. 2 target behind Sutton. The best fantasy managers can hope for with Humphrey is that he uses his after-the-catch skills to break a big play. Humphrey has scored only once in 2024, has gone over five catches in a game only once and has 50-plus yards only twice in 12 games.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had a relatively sleepy game in a 29-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. The man they call "Third-and-Jauan" caught four-of-six targets for 51 yards. It was the first time since Week 6 that an active Jennings failed to lead the team in targets, this time being surpassed by fellow wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. and tight end George Kittle --both with nine. For Jennings managers contemplating lineup choices for a potential championship in Week 17, Samuel Sr.'s re-emergence could give some pause. However, San Francisco will almost certainly be forced into a pass-heavy script against the offensive juggernaut Detroit Lions, giving Jennings a safe floor in Santa Clara on Monday night.
