San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Jennings played through five broken ribs during last weekend's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Jennings played 77 percent of the offensive snaps despite dealing with an ankle and obvious rib issues. At the moment, it seems like Jennings will be available for the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the injuries are likely impacting his performance, so he won't be an ideal fantasy option, assuming he's active.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle) told ESPN's Nick Wagoner that he is currently playing through five broken ribs, as well as high-ankle and low-ankle sprains. Jennings missed Week 5 due to injury but was able to get on the field in Week 6, albeit with limited results. He saw just three targets in the Niners' loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, catching one pass for seven yards. 49ers fans and fantasy managers will appreciate Jennings' ability to play through injury, but if he can't produce much, it's fair to question whether he would be better off focusing on his recovery and returning to the field when he's back to 100 percent. It will be important to monitor his practice status when the 49ers publish their injury reports from Wednesday through Friday. San Francisco returns to action next Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. A healthy Jennings is a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3/flex. However, his ranking would drop a little if he's less than 100 percent.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. While there was some concern about Jennings' status, he tested his injury pregame, and it was determined that he's healthy enough to play against the Bucs. His return provides a major boost to a Niners passing attack that is currently without Brandon Aiyuk (knee), George Kittle (hamstring), and Ricky Pearsall (knee). While Jennings will be catching passes from Mac Jones rather than Brock Purdy (foot), we don't expect there to be a significant fantasy drop-off. After all, Jones is averaging 302 passing yards and two passing touchdowns per start this season. Jennings is a fringe top-24 fantasy receiver this week.
Oct 12, 2025 3:07 PM EST
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) is expected to be available for Sunday's road matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jennings has been in and out of the lineup this season while battling through an ankle injury and other secondary injuries, but he's projected to gut it out in Week 6 against the hosting Buccaneers. San Francisco's offense still has a way to go before returning to full strength, but Jennings' return will also coincide with quarterback Mac Jones (knee, oblique) getting the nod to play, so they won't be without all of their playmakers. With teammate Ricky Pearsall (knee) still sidelined, fellow WRs Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson will continue to see extra playing time behind Jennings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 28-year-old eased back in.
Oct 12, 2025 1:05 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) is listed as questionable on the team's final depth chart for Week 6. According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings can be considered a game-time decision. With the 49ers' kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, fantasy managers considering starting Jennings will be limited on who they can pivot to if the receiver is scratched. Further muddying Jennings' projection is the 49ers' quarterback situation. Brock Purdy (toe) is out, giving way for a fourth Mac Jones (knee, oblique) start. Should Jones' own injuries limit him or prevent him from playing, it will be Adrian Martinez under center for his first regular season action in his career. Assuming he plays and has Jones throwing to him, Jennings can be treated as a WR3/4, but fantasy managers will need to be on guard for updates throughout the weekend.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing last week's game, Jennings has been a limited participant in practice this week. It sounds like Jennings is trending towards being a game-time decision for Sunday's game. That's not exactly great news for fantasy managers with this game being a 4:25 pm ET kickoff this weekend. That means, fantasy managers will need to have another late afternoon option in case Jennings is unable to go. If active, Jennings should offer WR3 value with quarterback Mac Jones (oblique, knee) also questionable for this game.
Oct 10, 2025 9:15 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play this Sunday in a Week 6 matchup against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to The Athletic's David Lombardi. Jennings did not play in the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday night and didn't practice on Wednesday. However, the 28-year-old was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, giving him a chance to return this weekend. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for a second straight game, so if Jennings can get the green light to play, he should as the team's WR1, barring any snap-count restrictions. The caveat is that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will miss his fourth game of the year, leaving banged-up backup Mac Jones (knee, oblique) to lead the offense again. Jennings could be a game-day decision, making him a very shaky WR4/flex play for fantasy managers.
Oct 10, 2025 5:53 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) was in uniform and taking part on Thursday in the portion of practice open to the media, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said before Thursday's practice that Jennings might be limited on Thursday before returning to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. Jennings did not play in last Thursday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams and didn't take part in practice on Wednesday. The 28-year-old's status for this weekend is still up in the air, but he appears closer to playing against the Bucs than fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee), who hasn't practiced at all this week. If Jennings is active in Week 6, he figures to operate as San Fran's No. 1 wideout, assuming he's not limited at all by his injuries. However, Jennings could be taking passes from backup quarterback Mac Jones again, which would make him an even more shaky flex play in fantasy.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) did not take part in the team's practice on Wednesday, per Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) also missed practice and is not expected to be active in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Jennings is also trending toward missing his third game of the season, he has two more chances to get back on the practice field on Thursday and Friday. But as things currently stand, it looks like San Fran will have to navigate another week without Pearsall, Jennings, and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe). In last Thursday's upset win over the Los Angeles Rams, backup QB Mac Jones had another impressive performance throwing the ball, and receiver Kendrick Bourne was the WR1 with 10 catches and over 100 receiving yards. Tight end Jake Tonges will be back on the streaming radar, too, if Jennings and Pearsall miss a second straight game.
Oct 8, 2025 5:11 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings could be in for a significant workload in Week 6, assuming he's healthy enough to play. Through three games this season, Jennings has caught nine of 19 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown, ranking as the WR40 on a per-game basis. The fifth-year wideout has battled through a string of injuries, including calf, ankle, shoulder, and rib injuries, that have limited his availability early in the year. Jennings returned to practice on Monday, which is a positive sign, especially with second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) trending in the opposite direction. If Pearsall is unable to suit up, Jennings would likely operate as the 49ers' WR1 heading into Week 6. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on San Francisco's midweek injury reports, as Wednesday and Thursday's updates will be crucial in determining Jennings' and Pearsall's availability against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Oct 8, 2025 10:38 AM EST
According to Vic Tafur of The Athletic, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) was suited up for Monday's practice and had his helmet in his hand for the five minutes that were open to the media. The 49ers didn't have an official practice on Monday, but it's a good sign to see Jennings back on the field early in the week after he was inactive in last Thursday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) also missed Week 5, allowing Kendrick Bourne to catch 10 passes and go over 100 receiving yards in the upset win on the road. The 28-year-old Jennings has already missed two games in 2025 and has essentially been banged up since organized team activities back in the spring. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but if he does, he'll be a pretty shaky WR4/flex for fantasy managers, especially if quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) misses another game.
Oct 6, 2025 7:07 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Rams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jennings is dealing with multiple injuries and will sit out as the team goes on the road on a short week. The 28-year-old took a big shot to the ribs in Week 4 that left him down on the ground for a bit afterwards. He didn't miss any game action, but had a quiet day overall, catching just two of four targets for 24 yards. Fantasy managers could pivot to Kendrick Bourne if they are desperate, as he is set to run a lot of routes with the 49ers' receiver room wiped out by injury. Jennings will have an extended amount of time to recover from his list of injuries and hopefully be good to go in Week 6.
Oct 1, 2025 4:56 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) remained a non-participant during their practice session on Tuesday afternoon. This was Jennings' second-straight non-participation, and he is now in danger of missing their contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday evening. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Wednesday, as it could provide clarity on his availability. The 28-year-old was unable to play in Week 3 due to this ankle injury, but was able to suit up in Week 4. However, he left this game with an additional rib injury. In this contest, Jennings was relatively quiet, catching only two passes for 24 yards. However, in Week 2, he caught five passes for 89 yards and a score. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) also in danger of sitting out, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson could lead the passing attack on Thursday evening.
Sep 30, 2025 4:55 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) was listed as a non-participant on the team's Monday injury report, according to Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group. Inman notes that San Francisco did not actually practice on Monday, so this is an estimation from the team on what Jennings' practice status would be heading into their Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. The 28-year-old has dealt with myriad injuries this season and picked up a rib ailment in Week 4. In the three games he's been able to play in, Jennings has recorded nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. If he's unable to suit up on Thursday, 49ers wideouts Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson could see an increase in playing time alongside Ricky Pearsall (knee), who is dealing with a knee injury of his own. If Jennings is active, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 5.
Sep 29, 2025 9:40 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs/ankle/shoulder) sustained yet another injury in the team's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. Jennings was sandwiched between two defenders while making the catch on a successful two-point conversion in the third quarter. He held onto the ball but was writhing on the ground in pain after the play. Jennings returned to action on the next drive but saw only one target for the rest of the game. He finished the day with two catches for 24 yards on four targets. San Francisco is playing on Thursday night in Week 5, meaning less time for Jennings to recover, and leaving his status up in the air per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) also suffering an injury on Sunday, Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne might see an increased role against the Los Angeles Rams.
Sep 29, 2025 3:14 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially active for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jennings missed Week 3 and was only able to log one limited practice this week. The 28-year-old has recorded seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across two games so far in 2025. Jennings may be working on a limited snap count in Week 4, so fantasy managers may be wise to temper their expectations. He profiles as a WR3/flex option against Jacksonville in Week 4.
Sep 28, 2025 2:51 PM EST
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) of the San Francisco 49ers is expected to play in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. But Jennings being active comes with a catch: he's also likely to be limited. The circumstances point to the possibility that Jennings could be a snap count for the game, obviously hampering his fantasy ceiling for this week. Jennings is otherwise a strong WR3/Flex play with a great matchup, though his injuries will present the risk he plays fewer snaps than normal.
Sep 28, 2025 7:17 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 4 tilt this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group. Jennings missed the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals and then missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The 28-year-old returned to the field on Friday, though, giving him a chance to suit up this weekend as the team looks to stay undefeated despite all of their injuries. He could be a game-time decision, which makes him a more risky fantasy option this week with the 49ers playing in the late window on Sunday. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is also questionable, so San Fran's receiving corps could be down to Demarcus Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling if both Jennings and Pearsall are inactive. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) is making his return in Week 4, but Jennings will be a shaky WR4/flex for fantasy managers if he's active.
Sep 26, 2025 5:29 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was seen at Friday's practice, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. This is an excellent sign for the 28-year-old wideout, as he was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers should closely monitor the team's final injury report later on Friday, as it will likely provide clarity on Jennings' availability for this contest on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jennings was also unable to play last weekend due to this injury. However, in Week 2, he was very productive, catching five of his 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. If Jennings were to return to the lineup, he would carry WR3/FLEX upside facing a Jacksonville defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season. If he were to miss his second-straight game, Ricky Pearsall (knee) would likely see most of the targets and carry WR2 upside.
Sep 26, 2025 4:31 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) was not able to practice for the second straight day on Thursday, per David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Jennings was unable to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals and could be trending towards missing his team's Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars as well. Jennings has battled multiple injuries so far in 2025, dating back to training camp, but he recorded seven catches on 15 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown across the 49ers' first two games of the season. The 28-year-old's absence would likely mean an uptick in targets for wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee), who had 11 targets and eight catches against the Cardinals with Jennings sidelined in Week 3. If Jennings can return for Week 4, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3/flex option.
