Elic Ayomanor vs Jauan Jennings: The Full Breakdown

Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Elic Ayomanor (Tennessee Titans) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.0 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Jauan Jennings (San Francisco 49ers) came in at 9.7 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Jauan Jennings carries a 3.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Elic Ayomanor turned 89 targets into 515 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Jauan Jennings converted 90 looks into 643 yards and 9 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Elic Ayomanor has his bye in Week 5, and Jauan Jennings rests in Week 8. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
