San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will face the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday. The former Tennessee Volunteer disappointed last Thursday despite a team-high nine targets. The opportunities only translated to two receptions for 31 yards. In fairness, an offensively sluggish, rain-soaked first half didn't help. Weather isn't expected to be a factor this week in Miami, but the Dolphins' pass defense offers its own challenge. Miami is ranked second-best in the NFL at limiting wide receiver fantasy half-PPR points. Still, Jennings is firmly entrenched as quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite option, as one would have to go back to Week 6 to find another 49er surpassing an active Jennings in targets. Despite the tough matchup, Jennings should rebound with a useful fantasy line as a solid WR2.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught just two of his nine targets against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, finishing Week 15 with 31 yards through the air. He managed to lead the team in targets while finishing second to George Kittle in receiving yards. Thursday's loss to the Rams was a rough showing for the Niners, who mustered just two field goals and zero touchdowns on primetime television. That led to a rare dud game from Jennings, who had not previously recorded fewer than nine fantasy points (PPR) since taking over as the de facto No. 1 wide receiver following Brandon Aiyuk's season-ending knee injury. Despite Thursday's frustrating performance, Jennings appears to still be the 49ers' No. 1 wide receiver as he continues to get more looks in the passing game than Deebo Samuel Sr. However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution ahead of next week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2024.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will line up against division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in Santa Clara. The former Tennessee Volunteer is coming off his second-best fantasy performance of the year, having caught seven of eight targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns at home against Chicago. The Rams are a good matchup for Jennings on paper, tied with Cleveland as the seventh-most-generous defense to fantasy wideout production. As the fantasy playoffs begin, Jennings is the overall WR14 in half-PPR scoring, including the games before Brandon Aiyuk was injured. Jennings should considered a WR2 with a solid target floor in Week 15.
Dec 11, 2024 11:44 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings did his part to secure an important 38-13 home win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 27-year-old once again led the team in targets with eight, which he converted into seven receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Jennings had struggled to get much going the past couple of weeks following a 10-catch performance in Week 11 versus Seattle but rewarded those who stuck with him in a tough matchup on paper. Both touchdowns came on first-half crossing routes against a surprisingly baffled Chicago zone defense. Jennings' managers should feel comfortable firing him up again for a Week 15 Thursday night divisional clash with the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings faces a tough matchup in Week 14 when the team hosts the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Given the snowy conditions in Buffalo last week, Jennings did a commendable job, tying for the team lead in targets with five, and posting 56 of the 49ers' anemic 94 yards passing. Things are rough in San Francisco's offense right now, with an injury-riddled backfield and offensive line, which will continue to slightly dampen Jennings' prospects against Chicago. The main reason for pessimism, however, is the Bears' elite pass defense, which is fourth-best in the NFL at limiting half-PPR performances to fantasy wide receivers. In addition, the Bears run Cover-3 at the second-highest rate in the NFL and Jennings loses almost a full yard per route run against Cover-3. Consider Jennings a high-end WR3/FLEX at best in Week 14.
Dec 7, 2024 1:53 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had a muted performance in a 35-10 loss to the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday night. The former seventh-round pick caught three of five targets for a team-high 56 yards. San Francisco's passing offense was almost nonexistent in the snowy affair, as Jennings shared the target lead with Deebo Samuel Sr. There should be sunnier days ahead for Jennings, who is the half-PPR WR23 in points per game this year, sandwiched between Tennesee's Nick Westbook-Ikhine and Jaguars rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. Jennings has two favorable matchups left on tap this season -- both at home -- in Week 15 versus the Rams and Week 17 versus Detroit. Next week, however, he gets the Chicago Bears who have allowed the sixth-fewest points per game to wide receivers.
Dec 2, 2024 1:15 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings faces the Bills in Orchard Park for Week 13's Sunday night matchup. Last week in Green Bay -- and catching passes from backup quarterback Brandon Allen -- Jennings led the 49ers in targets with seven, finishing with five receptions for 40 yards. Fortunately, starter Brock Purdy (shoulder) is expected to play in Buffalo, but the encouraging news ends there. Buffalo's pass defense has been the eighth-toughest on fantasy wide receivers and should have a nice home-field advantage as a significant winter storm is expected to bleed into the first quarter. Most significantly, San Francisco will be missing All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and starting left guard Aaron Banks (concussion). Consider Jennings a risky WR3/FLEX with a significant downgrade into WR4 territory if Purdy is held out again.
Nov 29, 2024 11:41 PM EST
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.
Nov 25, 2024 12:38 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The 27-year-old is making the most of his opportunity this year, filling in for an out-for-the-season Brandon Aiyuk. Jennings surpassed 20 half-PPR points last week versus Seattle by securing 10-of-11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. The week before, in Tampa, Jennings was less productive but also had 11 targets. As a result, Jennings has surpassed teammate Deebo Samuel Sr. in fantasy value, at least for the moment. Jennings' job is a difficult one this week, however. For one, Green Bay's pass defense has been better than Seattle's, ranking 12th-toughest on wide receivers in fantasy. More importantly, San Francisco will be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and potentially All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, who is questionable with an ankle injury. Even still, Jennings is in play for lineups in Week 12 as a firm WR2. He's earned it.
Nov 23, 2024 2:05 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings continued his ascent as a fantasy asset in a Week 11 20-17 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee caught 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards, including a three-yard touchdown reception to give the 49ers a short-lived lead in the fourth quarter. All four receiving numbers were team highs. Jennings isn't just filling up the stat sheet with empty yards either. He's flashing skill and grit in big spots, which all but solidifies his go-to role in the offense for the rest of the year. With two consecutive 11-target games in the books, it's going to be very hard for fantasy managers to leave Jennings out of lineups in Week 12 when the 49ers travel to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers.
Nov 18, 2024 12:07 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was removed from Friday's final Week 11 injury report and will be available to play on Sunday when the team takes on the division-rival Seattle Seahawks at Levis Stadium. Jennings popped up on the injury report on Thursday after being limited in practice, putting his availability for Sunday's game in question. The 27-year-old is now in the clear, though, and could have another big role in San Fran's passing attack against Seattle after leading the team in targets (11) and receiving yards (93) in the Week 10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jennings had missed the two previous games due to a hip injury. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the year, Jennings' elevated role should be secure the rest of the year. The Seahawks D has allowed the second-most half-PPR points to receivers in their last two games.
Nov 15, 2024 6:14 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was added to the Week 11 injury report on Thursday after putting in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Jennings, and it could put him in danger of missing the Week 11 game against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. We should have a better idea of the 27-year-old's status after another practice on Friday. Jennings caught seven of 11 targets for 93 yards in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the second time this season he's been targeted double-digit times. Before that, he missed Weeks 7 and 8 due to injury before going on bye in Week 9. Jennings' rest-of-season value is buoyed by the fact that Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is done for the year, although he might be in danger of missing Sunday's game. If Jennings is out or limited, rookie Ricky Pearsall could be the No. 3 target behind Deebo Samuel Sr. and George Kittle (hamstring).
Nov 14, 2024 8:12 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings bolstered his fantasy value in a 23-20 win over the Buccaneers in Tampa on Sunday. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound wideout led the game with 11 targets, which he turned into seven receptions for 93 yards. Today's contest could be treated as something of a bellwether concerning San Francisco's post-Brandon Aiyuk passing attack, as Jennings himself was also absent due to injury for the Week 8 victory over Dallas. With Jennings nearly doubling the target total of rookie Ricky Pearsall and Deebo Samuel Sr. -- each with six -- it appears that Jennings is here to stay as a weekly starting option in fantasy. Jennings and the 49ers will take on the rival Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 11.
Nov 11, 2024 12:45 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) will return from a two-game absence when the team takes on the Buccaneers in Tampa on Sunday. In his last time on the field -- in Seattle -- Jennings was targeted five times, finishing with three receptions for 27 yards. The targets tied Deebo Samuel Sr. for the wide receiver team lead, even with a pre-injury Brandon Aiyuk on the field. With Aiyuk out for the season, Jennings has a golden opportunity in front of him to become a fantasy contributor down the stretch. The matchup for 49ers receivers this week is good as the Bucs have allowed the seventh-most WR fantasy points this season. Consider Jennings a viable WR3/FLEX option in Week 10.
Nov 9, 2024 2:20 AM EST
ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports that it appeared as though San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) returned to practice on Monday as the team comes off their bye week and into a Week 10 battle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said last Monday that Jennings was expected to return after the bye week after missing Weeks 7 and 8. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and Chris Conley (hamstring) also banged up, Jennings should return to a prominent role in San Fran's passing attack. Deebo Samuel (oblique, rib) is also banged up. We'll have a better idea of the 27-year-old's Week 10 status once the Niners start releasing official practice reports on Wednesday, but Jennings appears to be on track to play. If he's available on your league's waiver wire, pick him up immediately.
Nov 4, 2024 3:45 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) is expected to get back on the field after the bye week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Jennings has missed the last two games due to a lingering hip issue. However, it doesn't sound like Jennings will miss anymore time as he should be ready to go for the Week 10 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jennings has been hit-and-miss this season, but he has seen four or more targets in every game he has played in. The return of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) could push Jennings further down on the pecking order for receiving. Jennings doesn't exactly have a great outlook the rest of the way, but the 49ers have struggled to stay healthy, so he's worth stashing.
Oct 28, 2024 9:30 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. It's unfortunate news for the 49ers and Jennings, but little surprise as he's yet to practice since picking up a hip ailment two weeks prior. This will be his second consecutive game missed. With fellow WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist, illness) and tight end George Kittle (foot) questionable for the outing, San Fran could be looking at a heavily depleted corps of pass-catchers when they line up against Dallas. In his absence, some amalgamation of wideouts Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing, Chris Conley, and Ronnie Bell figure to fill in. Particularly if Samuel Sr. can't suit up.
Oct 25, 2024 8:37 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game according to David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard. Jennings has yet to participate in any team practices this week which is not a promising sign for his status. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's injury report in case he is able to participate in a limited capacity. No. 1 wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) was able to return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday which is a good sign for his potential status as he will likely lead the passing attack. If Jennings cannot play, fantasy managers should expect rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall to see a significant uptick in opportunities. In his NFL debut last weekend he caught three of his five targets for 21 yards.
Oct 25, 2024 12:01 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jennings missed his first game of the year in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is now trending toward missing a second straight game this Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys unless he's able to practice on Friday. It's bad timing for the 49ers, with Brandon Aiyuk suffering a season-ending knee injury last Sunday. The 27-year-old Jennings was a popular addition off the waiver wire this week in fantasy managers despite his injury, as he'll have added opportunities the rest of the year as the WR2 in San Fran behind Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness). If Jennings misses another game in Week 8, both rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing could start in three-wide sets if Samuel is cleared to play.
Oct 24, 2024 7:24 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. Jennings missed the 49ers' Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs already. The 49ers are hopeful that they can get him back in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers are thin at wide receiver. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is done for the year and Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) is questionable for this week. Jennings has proven he can be an excellent fill-in. With Samuel out in Week 3, Jennings caught 11 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns. He projects to be the 49ers' No. 2 wide receiver moving forward. While it is still early in the week, it is never too soon to look at who may be affected by Jennings' absence. Rookie wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing would undoubtedly see more opportunities in the absence of Jennings. For now, keep a close eye on Jennings' status as we approach the weekend.
