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.

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.

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).

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.
Oct 23, 2024 6:28 PM EST
Per head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers hope to get wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) back for their Week 8 home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. San Fran had a rough go on Sunday in their 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing wideouts Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) in the first half. While Samuel was sick coming into this one, he'll have a good chance of being able to suit up next Sunday so long as the illness does not linger. Aiyuk, on the other hand, is feared to have suffered a torn ACL via initial reports. It isn't yet confirmed, but he'd be a long shot to suit up in Week 8 regardless. With the 49ers wide receiver corps suddenly depleted, Jacob Cowing, Ricky Pearsall, Chris Conley, and Ronnie Bell are the only active wideouts without a designation.
Oct 20, 2024 9:45 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hip injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Jennings was unable to practice at all this week and could also be in danger of missing next week's contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist) will operate as the team's top two receivers, as usual, but with Jennings sidelined, look for rookies Ricky Pearsall (chest) and Jacob Cowing, Chris Conley and Ronnie Bell to battle it out for the WR3 role as the Niners look for revenge against KC in a Super Bowl rematch. None of those names are worth risking in a flex spot in fantasy lineups this weekend. If anything, Jenning's absence will raise the ceiling and floor of Aiyuk, Samuel and tight end George Kittle. In deep leagues or DFS, Conley might be the best flex gamble.
Oct 18, 2024 6:47 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) was a non-participant in practice on Thursday. The 27-year-old is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, which could clear the way for Ricky Pearsall to operate as the Niners' No. 3 wide receiver in his potential NFL debut. Jennings has come back down to earth ever since his absurd showing in Week 3; since then, he's averaging 2.3 catches and 42.7 receiving yards without finding the end zone. Friday's injury report will provide some additional clarity on Jennings' status for this weekend against Kansas City.
Oct 18, 2024 12:07 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) did not participate in the team's first practice of the week. The 27-year-old played 52% of snaps in Thursday's 36-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, which is around his typical allotment, so it's unclear when he picked up the hip ailment. When reporters asked about the former Volunteer on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said the injury was sustained in the Week 6 matchup, but they were unaware of it Friday morning. Jennings will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session this week before the team decides on his status for Sunday. The 49ers will square off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 and need all the help they can get against one of the league's top defenses.
Oct 16, 2024 10:18 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings contributed modestly to a 36-24 victory over the Seahawks in Seattle on Thursday night. The former seventh-rounder caught three of five targets for 27 yards. While conventional wisdom held that Jennings would fade into the background after his monster performance in Week 3 upon the return of George Kittle and Deebo Samuel Sr. from injury, he has maintained more relevance in San Francisco's offense than expected. For example, Jennings has out-targeted Brandon Aiyuk in three of the past four weeks and has only one fewer reception than Deebo Samuel Sr. in the past three weeks. Still, Jennings will be a touchdown-dependent low-floor FLEX when the 49ers have their main pass-catchers healthy, including in a Week 7 rematch of Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs at home.
Oct 11, 2024 4:44 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Thursday night. In Week 5, Jennings fell back into his expected role after a huge fantasy performance in Week 3 as a replacement for an injured Deebo Samuel Sr. and securing the team lead in targets in Week 4. Against Arizona last week, Jennings posted one reception on four targets. On the bright side, three of those targets came while he was in the end zone. As exciting as Jennings has been, it was never realistic to think that Jennings would usurp a healthy Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel Sr., and George Kittle to maintain consistent fantasy relevance. Jennings will probably still mix in a touchdown here and there, but with the whole squad healthy, he should be kept on benches or in the free-agent pool outside of the deepest leagues in Week 6.
Oct 10, 2024 12:08 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings came back down to earth in a 24-23 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. San Francisco's third wide receiver finished with one reception of four targets for 13 yards receiving. Jennings left briefly in the first quarter with an apparent hand injury. Although he returned quickly, he could be seen on the game broadcast in discomfort even after his return. On the bright side, three of his targets took place in the end zone just before the half and he got more attention overall from Brock Purdy than Deebo Samuel Sr. did. While Jennings has certainly broken out this year as a factor in fantasy, he'll likely be touchdown-dependent as a deep-league FLEX option if San Francisco's other pass-catchers remain healthy. Jennings gets the Seahawks at Lumen Field in a Week 6 Thursday night matchup.
Oct 7, 2024 12:07 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will try to continue his unlikely run as a fantasy difference-maker when the team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. Against New England last week, Jennings paced all 49ers receivers with three receptions on six targets for 88 yards. It was one thing for Jennings to have a career day in Week 3 with Deebo Samuel Sr. and George Kittle absent, but it was quite the surprise to follow it up with a fantasy-useful performance with everyone healthy. Arizona's pass defense is tied for 14th in half-PPR points allowed to opposing wide receivers, which makes for a decent opportunity for San Francisco's receivers. However, Jennings is still a dubious bet to continue producing like he has, given the talent of Samuel Sr., Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk demanding targets. Jennings is a consensus WR4 and a risky FLEX play in Week 5.
Oct 5, 2024 3:56 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings proved that he's become more than just an injury replacement in the team's 30-13 home victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. In Week 3, Jennings had the game of his life, an 11-catch, 175-yard, three-touchdown performance, partially explainable by the injury absences of receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and tight end George Kittle. However, in Week 4 Jennings kept the momentum rolling even with both players back on the field. He led the 49ers in yards and targets by posting three catches -- including a ridiculous over-the-wrong-shoulder snag for 45 yards -- on six targets for 88 yards. Jennings is unlikely to continue pacing all 49ers receivers but has at least forced his way into fantasy consideration until further notice. Jennings gets the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 5.
