You're so lucky... for the record with 11 minutes left in the game: 345 yds, 3 TDs for Rodgers already...and Jennings with 3/48/0 of it.I'm really happy I got off this wagon.

Throw in the towel. The dude sucks.

Not sure why I keep insisting on starting the guy. He must have nude pictures of me or something.

I think it comes down to Driver just being the better all-round receiver of the two.

was he better last year?

I did too...mostly because I did not need him either.Much happier to just play Driver every week anyway.

This is ridiculous. For the record, Jennings is on pace for 1060/4.35 TDs. Slightly better numbers than Driver put up last year (1012/5). Driver is on pace for 1220/7.25. Slightly worse numbers than Jennings last year (1292/9).
Teams have rolled their coverage away from Driver to Jennings. It appears they will end up reversing yearly outputs this year due to that. It is amazing the perception here of the difference however. You are looking at year end totals differing by 160 yards and 3 TDs.

And it's utter crap. 160 yards and, say, 15 receptions (+ 3 TDs) is a total of 44.5 points. That's HUGE. Spread that over 10 weeks and that's 4.45 points per week. Big difference between 7 and 11 points. Or, that could be 3 additional blow up weeks. As it stands, he's only had 3 strong weeks all season. 5 out of 10 weeks, he KILLED your lineup as a WR2. This guy is a BUST. The worst is that watching the games (I've seen several), Rodgers really doesn't look his way very often at all. Either Rodgers or the offensive coordinator has changed their approach. Regardless, they'd ruined Jennings in fantasy.Kitrick Taylor said:

I'll keep rolling him out as my WR3. I have no choice really.

The targets mean nothing. If you watched the game you would understand most his targets came from throw away passes after Rodgers looked at 3 other players first. Jermichael Finley is more involved in the offense than Jennings. So sad.

Look, as a Packer fan, and a Jennings owner, I am disappointed in what he's producing so far this season. But the reality is he's on pace to finish as a solid #2 WR in 12 team leagues. Year in and year out, 18-20ish guys get 1000 yards +. It looks like Jennings will be one of them. So in a year where he's got a bad oline ruining his deeper routes, and seeing extended double coverage for the first time, I won't call out his talent on a finish that most likely lands him in the top 20. If you drafted him in a redraft as your #1, I can see the disappointment. As a dynasty owner, I just see this as a down year in an otherwise very productive career. After his rookie year, when healthy, he's produced as a top 5 guy. There is more of that in his future.

I don't see any change in his physical skills or his ability to get open.I see a change in OC and QB utilization.The gameplan in 09 seems to leave Jennings as the #3 read most of the time which is definitely a change from last season.Agree with the above poster that this is simply a down season in what will be a very productive career.

For what little it's worth, it looked to me and has looked in the past, as if teams are really worried about where he is. I thought it was telling on Driver's short TD how the CB that was head up on Driver was leaning toward Jennings on the play helping out. Driver was wide open because of it.
Jennings is busting as a #1 this year for sure. I'll keep him in as my #3 though. He's still very worthy of that in my league.
He'll probably be a real value in drafts next year.

Exactly. They probably blew the coverage, but Jennings was doubled and Driver was uncovered.
