Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Jauan Jennings

Wednesday, November 5, 5:07 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a glute injury. It's a new injury for Pittman, so his status bears watching as the week unfolds with a Week 10 game upcoming on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, against the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old didn't show any signs of being injured in the Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching nine of his 12 targets for a season-best 115 yards while playing 88% of the offensive snaps. If Pittman can get back on the field on either Thursday or Friday, he should have a good shot at playing this weekend in Europe. The 28-year-old has shown strong chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones this year and enters Week 10 as the WR11 in half-PPR scoring by averaging 13.1 points per game. If Pittman cannot play this weekend, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce would see more targets in the passing game.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings brought in his second touchdown of the season in the team's 34-24 win over the New York Giants in Week 9. Jennings caught four of five targets for 41 yards and the score. From a fantasy standpoint, it was his most productive game since Week 2, when he posted a 5-89-1 line against the Saints. Jennings ranked second on the team in targets and yards behind Christian McCaffrey and tied with tight end George Kittle for second (again, behind McCaffrey) in receptions. Jennings' place among the trio as San Francisco's top pass-catchers is secure for the time being. Once Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) return, he may fall in the pecking order. In Week 10, Jennings projects as a WR3 against a Rams defense that was torched by teammate Kendrick Bourne for 142 yards in Week 5.
