Should You Start or Sit Jauan Jennings in Week 12?
Is Jauan Jennings the WR1 in San Francisco?
I’m not going that far just yet, but he certainly appears closer to their WR1 than their WR3. We are looking at the first player to see 10+ targets from Brock Purdy in consecutive games, a level of volume that might not sustain with George Kittle aiming to return, though a minor dip in usage wouldn’t greatly impact my confidence in labeling him as a fantasy starter.
Jaire Alexander (knee) missed the second half last week against the Bears; if he is operating at anything less than full strength, this efficient offense could take advantage of a Green Bay defense that can be overly aggressive at times.
Jennings is sitting on the WR20 line for me this week, ranking in the same tier as other talented receivers who rank second on their team in terms of target projection (namely Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DeVonta Smith).
