Should I Start Jauan Jennings in Week 11? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

This season has been a frustrating ride for many of the fans of the San Francisco 49ers. The team was without star running back Christian McCaffrey for the first two months and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (who held out all summer for a new contract) tore his ACL.

The door has been opened for fellow wide receiver Jauan Jennings in fantasy. Despite the team's struggles, they finally evened up the score to sit at 5-4 on the season and head into a very important matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11.

He will still face some stiff target competition from McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie Ricky Pearsall, and tight end George Kittle.

The 49ers defense hasn't been as good as it's normally been in years past, which has resulted in the team playing in it's fair share of shootouts this season.

Should I Start Jauan Jennings in Week 11?

It is unknown if Jennings is going to suit up in Week 11. He apparently injured his ankle in practice this week and was limited in practice on Thursday.

If he is completely healthy and suits up on Sunday, Jennings can be viewed as a low-end WR2 in all formats. While he will likely need a touchdown to payoff for fantasy, the door is now wide open for him to produce with Aiyuk sidelined for the rest of the season. Be sure to monitor this injury report right up until their 4:05 pm ET kickoff in Week 11.

Jennings best game of the season game in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams where he saw a season-high 12 targets and finished with 11 receptions for 175 yards and three touchdowns! While that shouldn't be the expectation, it does show his high-end ceiling for fantasy.

INJURY UPDATE: Jennings is expected to play in Week 11. Niners TE George Kittle is unlikely to play. His absence would improve Jennings' outlook.
