Jauan Jennings Will Be Day-to-Day This Week

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is considered day-to-day heading into Week 4. Jennings played through a shoulder issue in Week 2, posting five catches for 89 yards and a touchdown, but he did not practice ahead of Week 3 and was ultimately ruled out. If Jennings remains sidelined, second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall should see a boost in targets, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy trending toward a return this week. The matchup sets up well, as Jacksonville's secondary has struggled early in 2025. Jennings' status will need monitoring, but if active, he profiles as a flex option in most fantasy formats against the Jaguars.

Jauan Jennings Ruled Out in Week 3

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) will not suit up in Week 3 when the 49ers face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Jennings is unable to practice all week due to the ankle injury. Managers should continue to monitor his status as he may not be able to play in Week 4 depending the severity of his injury. In Week 2, Jennings enjoyed a productive showing, catching five of his 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. In Week 1, Jennings caught only two of his five targets for 16 yards. With Jennings sitting out, managers should expect Ricky Pearsall to operate as the team's lead pass catcher, while Kendrick Bourne should move up to the No. 2 role. However, most of the workload should go through running back Christian McCaffrey, who carries high-end RB1 upside in this contest.

Jauan Jennings Officially Questionable for Week 3

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in a Week 3 divisional clash against the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that Jennings was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, which is pretty concerning, considering he was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday. The 28-year-old picked up a shoulder injury in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he played in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints and caught his first touchdown of the year. Jennings also picked up a new ankle injury last Sunday. Now dealing with two injuries, it's not looking great for his chances of facing Arizona. He's shaping up as a very shaky and risky WR4/flex in Week 3, especially with quarterback Mac Jones set for a second straight start.

Jauan Jennings Officially a DNP on Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) was officially a non-participant on Thursday for the second straight day this week, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Jennings also missed the first two practices last week due to a shoulder injury before returning to practice on Friday and playing in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old looked much better than in the season opener, catching five of 10 targets for 89 yards and his first touchdown of 2025. Jennings could still play in Week 3 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but he'll need to practice on Friday. He's trending as a shaky WR4/flex in fantasy once again while dealing with two injuries this week. Making him more dicey is the fact that the Niners don't play until the late window on Sunday. If Jennings is ruled out, Ricky Pearsall will be the top option in the passing game for quarterback Mac Jones, who is expected to make a second straight start in place of the injured Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder).

Jauan Jennings Not Spotted at Practice on Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) was not seen at practice on Thursday, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Jennings is battling a shoulder injury he picked up in Week 1 and an ankle injury he suffered in Week 2 and did not practice on Wednesday. The 28-year-old was productive while playing through the injuries in Week 2, recording five catches for 89 yards and a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. He's scheduled to face a banged-up Arizona Cardinals secondary in Week 3 and would profile as a low-end WR3/flex option if he's able to suit up. If Jennings is unable to play, 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall would likely see a sizable increase in target volume against Arizona.

Jauan Jennings Dealing With Two Injuries, Not Practicing on Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is not scheduled to practice on Wednesday as the team begins preparations for the Week 3 game against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. Jennings injured his shoulder in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks and then picked up an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old also dealt with a calf injury for most of the summer, so it's been one thing after another for him so far in 2025. The good news is that he played 87% of the offensive snaps in Week 2 and caught five of his 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown as the top target for backup quarterback Mac Jones. Starter Brock Purdy (toe) is expected to miss at least another week, so if Jennings plays this Sunday against Arizona, he should be viewed as a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy lineups.

Jauan Jennings Day-to-Day With Ankle Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) injured his ankle in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and will be evaluated day-to-day through this week, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. It's been one thing after another for Jennings health-wise since offseason workouts, when he suffered a calf injury. The 28-year-old missed most of training camp and all of the preseason after aggravating his calf issue before injuring his shoulder in the season-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that he looked healthy and operated as the WR1 on Sunday against the Saints, catching five of 10 targets for 89 yards and his first touchdown of 2025. Jennings will at least be in play as a WR4/flex if he's active in Week 3 against the division-rival Cardinals, but if he's out or limited, Ricky Pearsall would be the top target for quarterback Mac Jones.

Jauan Jennings Leads 49ers in Receiving, Looks Like Team's WR1 in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings looked like his team's clear-cut WR1 in Week 2, hauling in five catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in a win over the New Orleans Saints. Jennings was targeted 10 times by 49ers quarterback Mac Jones, four more targets than any other San Francisco wideout. The 28-year-old has now logged seven catches for 105 yards and a score on the season, and that's with leaving Week 1 early due to a shoulder injury. As long as Jennings can stay on the field, he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3.

Jauan Jennings Suiting Up Against Saints in Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is officially active for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Jennings had been listed as questionable, but there was increased optimism about his status heading into gameday. The shoulder issue limited Jennings to just 66 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday as he caught two of five targets for 16 yards. This week, he'll be playing with a quarterback downgrade as Mac Jones steps in for the injured Brock Purdy (shoulder). Jones still has a solid arm, and a favorable matchup against the Saints bodes well for Jennings. Plus, the 49ers will also be without George Kittle (hamstring), creating several vacated targets that could go Jennings' way. He's a solid WR3/flex option this week.

Jauan Jennings Expected to Play in Week 3

According to Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is expected to suit up for the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Jennings is currently listed as questionable, but it sounds like he's trending towards suiting up. He was tagged as a game-time decision on Saturday, but it sounds like he has improved overnight. The 49ers could certainly use Jennings on the field with George Kittle (hamstring) sidelined. Jennings will probably take a hit in value with Brock Purdy (toe) out. However, the 49ers are so limited on options that Jennings should remain a viable fantasy option even with Mac Jones under center.

Jauan Jennings a "Game-Time" Decision for Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is considered a "game-time decision" for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. He didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday. However, Jennings logged a limited session on Friday, although it still wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation. With George Kittle (hamstring) out, Ricky Pearsall and Christian McCaffrey should see plenty of attention from quarterback Mac Jones if Jennings doesn't play. Jennings will work out prior to opening kick. If he's cleared to suit up, he's a must-start in any fantasy format.

Jauan Jennings Given Questionable Tag for Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 2 on Sunday against the hosting New Orleans Saints, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Jennnings injured his shoulder in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks and did not return before missing the first two practices of the week on Wednesday and Thursday. However, the 28-year-old was able to get in a limited practice on Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up for the extremely banged-up Niners. If Jennings plays, both he and Ricky Pearsall should be peppered with targets with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) out. However, quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is also out, which makes Jennings a pretty volatile and unpredictable fantasy option this weekend if he ends up playing. The former seventh-rounder had only two grabs for 16 yards in the opener before getting hurt.

Another DNP for Jauan Jennings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) was doing conditioning on a side field on Thursday and did not practice with the rest of the team, according to the Bay Area News Group's Cam Inman. Jennings injured his shoulder late in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks and never returned. The Niners sent Jennings for tests earlier this week, and it's not believed that he's dealing with anything serious. However, with two straight DNPs to begin the week, he's trending in the wrong direction to play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints unless he's able to practice on Friday. The 28-year-old should have a bigger role going forward with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) out three to five weeks, but he'll be a fade candidate in fantasy if he plays in Week 2 with backup quarterback Mac Jones expected to make the start. Jennings caught only two passes for 16 yards in the season opener.

Sep 11, 2025 6:13 PM EST


Jauan Jennings Not Practicing on Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is not participating in practice on Wednesday, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Jennings is dealing with a left-shoulder injury that isn't regarded as significant, but he's not a lock to play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. While Jennings caught just two of five targets for 16 yards in a win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, going without him on Sunday would be another unwelcome development for the 49ers' wounded offense. The team placed standout tight end George Kittle (hamstring) on Injured Reserve earlier this week, and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) seems likely to sit out because of toe and shoulder issues. Even if Jennings is ready to go on Sunday, the fact that Mac Jones could start at QB won't do his fantasy stock any favors.

Jauan Jennings Considered Day-to-Day, has a Chance to Play in Week 2

Additional scans on Tuesday on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) came back clean, and he has avoided a significant left-shoulder injury after he was injured in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Niners are now considering Jennings day-to-day, and he will have a chance to play in Week 2 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old missed all of the preseason and most of training camp with a calf injury while also holding out for a new contract. He proceeded to struggle with two catches on five targets for 16 yards in the season opener before getting hurt. Jennings should see an uptick in targets with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) on IR, but with quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) up in the air for Week 2, he's trending as a very volatile flex play in fantasy this week.

Jauan Jennings Avoids Serious Shoulder Injury

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is not dealing with a serious shoulder injury. Rapoport noted that at this time, Jennings appears to have avoided a significant injury. This is an excellent sign for the San Francisco offense as tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to miss at least three to five weeks, and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) is in danger of missing Week 2. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their progress at practice, as the entire offense could take a hit. In the season opener, Jennings had a limited role, being targeted just five times and catching two passes. However, with Kittle sidelined, Jennings should see his target share increase. If Purdy can suit up, Jennings would carry flex value in Week 2 facing the New Orleans Saints.

49ers Still Evaluating Jauan Jennings

The San Francisco 49ers are still evaluating tests done on wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) after he injured his shoulder in the Week 1 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and never returned. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said initial tests looked OK, but there is still more to come. The 28-year-old missed basically all of training camp and the preseason due to a minor calf injury and a contract holdout before catching two of five targets for 16 yards and injuring his shoulder in the season opener. More targets will be available for him if he's able to play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) expected to miss three to five weeks, but it could be a mute point if quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) is also unable to play. Ricky Pearsall is the clear WR1, but the recently signed Kendrick Bourne could be in for a substantial role if Jennings misses time.

Sep 8, 2025 7:12 PM EST


Jauan Jennings Questionable to Return With Shoulder Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is uncertain to return to the field for Sunday's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Jennings was forced to exit the game with a shoulder injury in the second half. His absence is certainly a blow with George Kittle (hamstring) also banged up. If Jennings doesn't return, he'll end his day with two receptions on five targets for 16 yards. The 49ers don't have a ton of depth at wideout right now. Ricky Pearsall, Skyy Moore, and Russell Gage would all likely see increased roles if Jennings misses time.

Jauan Jennings "Good-to-Go" in Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is off the injury report and will suit up in their Week 1 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Earlier on Friday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that regarding Jennings's status, he is "really confident" and that he's "gotten better and better throughout the week", and "I'm excited to see him out there Sunday." The 28-year-old wideout was diagnosed with a calf injury and was also expressing interest in signing a new contract. Jennings was able to not only move past his injury but also ink a new contract with the club that grants him incentives based on playing time in the upcoming season. In 2024, Jennings enjoyed a breakout campaign, totaling 975 yards and six touchdowns. Fantasy managers should expect him to operate as Brock Purdy's go-to option in the passing attack and carry high-end WR3 value facing the Seahawks.

Jauan Jennings Gets Incentives Added to Contract

The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Jauan Jennings have agreed to a restructured deal that adds $3 million worth of incentives to his contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He can now earn up to $10.5 million in 2025. San Francisco reportedly offered a multi-year extension that would have bought out at least one year of free agency, but he chose to bet on himself with the restructured contract. He will reach free agency next offseason, as scheduled. The former seventh-round pick enjoyed a huge breakout campaign in 2024, catching 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns. Although George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall will command plenty of targets this offseason, there should be more than enough volume to go around. Jennings remains an appealing WR3 option for fantasy football.
