Who Should I Start? Mason Kinsey or Jordan Watkins

Sunday, August 20, 12:58 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Mason Kinsey caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in the 24-16 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. Kinsey has floated between the team's active roster and practice squad since 2021 and will likely be cut or signed to the practice squad this year. The Berry College product has stuck around the organization, but there's a minuscule chance he's on the fantasy radar at any point during the 2023 season.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Jordan Watkins "is in position to be the 49ers' no. 3 or 4 wide receiver," according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Barrows writes that Watkins' teammates "keep praising his maturity and mental sharpness." The 49ers are currently working with a battered receiving corps, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is expected to miss the start of the season, and Jauan Jennings (calf) has missed most of training camp. 2024 first-rounder Ricky Pearsall is in line to lead the group as things currently stand, and it sounds as though Watkins is starting to separate himself from a group that also contains veterans Demarcus Robinson and Russell Gage. A fourth-round pick out of Ole Miss, Watkins averaged 18.5 yards per reception and scored nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season. Particularly if Jennings ends up missing regular-season time, Watkins is an under-the-radar name to keep an eye on for fantasy.
