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

Sunday, November 24, 8:22 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the Indy receiving corps in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, tying Josh Downs with a team-high seven targets and turning it into six receptions for 96 yards. No other Colt receiver had more than three catches or 39 yards. It was an encouraging performance on a day where Anthony Richardson completed just 11 passes on 28 attempts. It was the second consecutive week in which the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five catches with Richardson under center. The Colts will take on the Patriots in Week 13 who just allowed Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to total 192 yards receiving on 13 catches, so Pittman Jr. has a chance to keep the momentum going so long as Richardson keeps feeding him targets.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had a muted performance during a 38-10 loss to the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. The 6-foot-3 former seventh-rounder caught five of seven targets for 40 yards. Except for tight end George Kittle, San Francisco's entire offense struggled to put up numbers during a game in which they were fighting through the absence of quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle). On the bright side, Jennings' target total led all 49ers and he continues to out-produce both Deebo Samuel Sr. and rookie Ricky Pearsall. However, there is no guarantee that the 49ers will be any healthier when they play the Bills in Week 13. Jennings managers will need to monitor the status of Purdy -- and to a lesser degree, Williams -- before setting expectations for the emergent wideout in Buffalo on Sunday Night Football.
