San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings' touchdown on their opening drive in Week 12 salvaged what would have otherwise been a poor showing. Amid Brock Purdy's (toe) struggles against the Panthers, Jennings finished the game with five catches for 41 yards and the score on seven targets. Jennings now has a touchdown in three of the 49ers' last four games, and has at least four receptions per game going back to Week 7. In Week 13, San Francisco goes to Cleveland to face the Browns, who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Further dampening Jennings' prospects on Sunday is the forecasted inclement weather, which is expected to feature winds in excess of 25 MPH, rain, and snow. Fantasy football managers should exercise caution with Jennings, who ranks as a WR4 in Week 13.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the NFL will review San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings' actions on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers for a possible fine, but he won't be suspended. Panthers safety Tre'Von Moehrig took a cheap shot to a sensitive area for Jennings late in Monday night's game, and Jennings had to be held back following the conclusion of the contest. The 28-year-old caught five of his seven targets for 41 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season in the 20-9 victory. Three of Jennings' four scores on the year have come in the last four games, and he has a higher fantasy ceiling with quarterback Brock Purdy recovered from a turf-toe injury that caused him to miss most of the season. Going into a tough Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Jennings should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent WR3/flex option.
Nov 25, 2025 3:57 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught five of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. His first-quarter touchdown came on an impressive catch and run where he fought through two defenders on his way into the end zone. Jennings continues his strong stretch of production over the last four games, recording 19 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 27 targets. The recent return of second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall hasn't affected Jennings' production, with Pearsall totaling just three catches for nine yards in the past two games. The 28-year-old Jennings has been a reliable target earner for San Francisco alongside multiple other capable weapons and a heavy dose of touches devoted to Christian McCaffrey. Jennings will rank on the WR2/WR3 border again in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
Nov 25, 2025 12:29 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings held onto his role at the top of the depth chart despite Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Jennings, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle led the team in targets with six apiece, though Brock Purdy's (toe) three touchdown throws went to the latter two, leaving Jennings with a mediocre 4-54-0 line in a 41-22 rout of the Cardinals. Jennings is in line for a more productive game in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina's secondary has been slipping lately, resulting in a top-12 finish for an opposing wide receiver in three of the last four weeks (the gap filled by a top-24 performance). Jennings straddles the line between WR2 and WR3 in Week 12 projections and is worthy of a starting slot in fantasy football lineups.
Nov 22, 2025 5:41 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had his most productive game since Week 2 in last week's loss to the Rams. Jennings had a season-high six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown against Los Angeles. The score was his second in as many weeks. Jennings' recent spike in productivity has been a welcome turnaround for fantasy football managers who held onto him through several weeks of injuries and single-digit fantasy scores. In Week 11, Jennings stands to benefit from the return of Brock Purdy (toe) to San Francisco's starting lineup after a six-game absence. Also coming back is fellow receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee), whose return will be a double-edged sword for Jennings. On the one hand, Pearsall might eat into Jennings' target share, but on the other, the former's presence might open things up for the latter to do more with less. Jennings projects as a WR3 with upside against a beatable Cardinals secondary in Week 11.
Nov 15, 2025 5:00 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught six of his nine targets for 71 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 10. He also lost a fumble in the team's 42-26 loss to the Rams. The touchdown was Jennings' second in as many weeks and his third of the season. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out, Jennings is the 49ers' unquestioned WR1. Jennings' production has not met preseason expectations, especially while being targeted on 25.4% of routes run. Week 10 was just Jennings' second top-24 finish among wide receivers, but as long as he continues seeing that kind of opportunity share, Jennings is still worth keeping in fantasy football lineups. Another good week could be in store when the 49ers face the Cardinals in Week 11. Jennings was inactive when the teams met in Week 3, but Pearsall posted 117 yards on eight catches in that game.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) carries no designation into the team's Week 10 rematch with the Los Angeles Rams. Jennings, along with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and George Kittle, missed the teams' first matchup in Week 5 due to injuries, leading to a ten-catch, 142-yard bonanza for Kendrick Bourne. Jennings himself torched Los Angeles to the tune of 11-175-3 in Week 3 last season. Since returning from his absence, Jennings has not been very productive, though he still has been a focal point of the 49ers' offense. Over the last three weeks, he had a 24.7% target share and 34.6% air yard share. The Rams will likely have their attention focused on Christian McCaffrey on Sunday, which could open things up for Jennings to take another step forward. He projects as a WR3 and can be started in most leagues in Week 10.
Nov 8, 2025 5:14 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings continues to rise, as he has clearly become the primary receiving target of quarterback Mac Jones. While Christian McCaffrey remains the bell-cow in this offense, Jennings has passed Kendrick Bourne as the primary downfield threat. Jennings has seen 19 targets over the past three weeks, to Bourne's eight. This spike in usage suggests a healthier version of Jennings that we did not see early in the season. With his stock rising, those who held firm through his struggles early are being rewarded. Jennings should be considered a must-start as the team faces off with the Rams, who the 49ers defeated in Week 5 without Jennings on the field.
Nov 6, 2025 2:39 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings brought in his second touchdown of the season in the team's 34-24 win over the New York Giants in Week 9. Jennings caught four of five targets for 41 yards and the score. From a fantasy standpoint, it was his most productive game since Week 2, when he posted a 5-89-1 line against the Saints. Jennings ranked second on the team in targets and yards behind Christian McCaffrey and tied with tight end George Kittle for second (again, behind McCaffrey) in receptions. Jennings' place among the trio as San Francisco's top pass-catchers is secure for the time being. Once Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) return, he may fall in the pecking order. In Week 10, Jennings projects as a WR3 against a Rams defense that was torched by teammate Kendrick Bourne for 142 yards in Week 5.
Nov 4, 2025 1:04 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has generated interest ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The 49ers fielded trade calls on Jennings prior to training camp, and some of those same teams that previously called are now interested in him once again. Head coach Kyle Shanahan recently said that he would be surprised if Jennings wasn't on the team at the end of the 2025 season, but he also didn't rule out a trade. Through six games this year, the 28-year-old receiver has 18 catches, 212 yards, and one touchdown, operating as an impact starter alongside Ricky Pearsall when both are healthy. If San Francisco were to part with Jennings, their top two receivers would be Pearsall and Kendrick Bourne, at least until Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is healthy enough to play again.
Nov 2, 2025 7:32 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) logged three full practices this week and carries no designation on the team's final injury report. Jennings has been rather ineffective when active, catching just 18 of his 36 targets for 212 yards and one touchdown in six games. He has also looked out of sync with quarterback Mac Jones (knee), who has filled in for Brock Purdy (toe) in six starts this season and will get his seventh in Week 9. The Giants give up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, but based on what we have seen from Jennings so far, he will be hard to trust on Sunday. Projecting as a borderline WR3/4, he probably needs to be used in three-WR setups and in deeper leagues, but fantasy managers in shallower leagues can and should find a more reliable option in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2025 5:36 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) led the team in targets and yards in their 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 8. Jennings mirrored his Week 7 totals with four catches on seven targets, but produced more yards this time around, finishing with 45. It was a tepid offering on a day when Mac Jones (knee) and the 49ers generated only 223 net yards on offense. It is yet to be seen if Brock Purdy (toe) will be healthy enough to resume starting quarterback duties in Week 9. Regardless of who is under center, Jennings should be one of the 49ers' top target earners alongside Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Ricky Pearsall (knee) is awaiting evaluation on Wednesday, and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is still likely a few weeks away from his return. The 49ers next face the Giants, who have given up the most receiving yards and the second-most receptions to opposing wide receivers.
Oct 28, 2025 4:00 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) logged an entire week of full practices for the first time this season. Week 8 won't be the best time to bet on a Jennings rebound, though. The emergence of Kendrick Bourne and the return of George Kittle mean Jennings won't necessarily be quarterback Mac Jones' (knee, oblique) primary focus, despite Ricky Pearsall (knee) being out again. Considering Houston's defensive prowess (fewest points allowed; 57.8% pass completion allowed), the 49ers are in for another run-heavy slog akin to their Week 7 matchup against the Falcons. Given his track record and the matchup, it is hard to see Jennings beating his projection as a WR3. Fantasy football managers are justified in leaving him on the bench.
Oct 25, 2025 5:51 AM EST
There's been no doubting that 2025 has been disappointing so far for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder, ankle, ribs), who has seen injuries impact his availability and performance throughout the first seven weeks. But for managers still hanging on, there is some hope. Jennings played 85% of the team's snaps and drew seven targets last week, both his second-highest marks of the year and more in line with his normal usage. As Jennings' health improves, starting quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is also getting close to returning. Jennings has been prone to ups and downs during his career, but finished as the No. 24 overall PPR receiver in 2024. With Purdy coming back and some good matchups on the horizon, Jennings could see his stock rise in future weeks.
Oct 23, 2025 10:21 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings' (ankle, ribs, shoulder) seven targets in Week 7 were second on the team to Christian McCaffrey's eight in the team's Week 7 win over the Falcons. In the 49ers' run-heavy attack on Sunday night, Jennings was the only player other than McCaffrey to see more than two targets. Despite the relatively heavy usage, the receiver only brought in four receptions for 31 yards. This latest letdown perpetuates Jennings' disappointing 2025, wherein he has 14 receptions for 167 yards and one touchdown in five games. Ricky Pearsall's (knee) status is uncertain, but with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back from injured reserve, Jennings might see his target share scaled back. Jennings projects as a low-end WR3 for the 49ers' upcoming matchup against the Texans in Week 8.
Oct 21, 2025 1:33 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday night's game against the Falcons. The 28-year-old has been banged up all year. Unfortunately, he hasn't looked the best, catching only 10 passes for 136 yards and one touchdown. Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) won't be available. However, the 49ers will get George Kittle (hamstring) back after being on the shelf since the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. With a recent uptick in production from Kendrick Bourne and Kittle's return, Jennings may not be the safest fantasy option in Week 7 versus a tough Falcons defense.
Oct 17, 2025 11:29 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder) has been limited in practice all week but is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout has battled multiple injuries this season, appearing in just four games while totaling 10 receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. With the 49ers offense still dealing with several key absences, quarterback Mac Jones will need all available weapons against the league's top-ranked pass defense -- one that just stifled Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Jennings' potential return would provide a much-needed boost to San Francisco's depth at receiver, though his fantasy value remains limited unless he begins to see a larger target share. For now, Jennings is best viewed as a deep-league stash or DFS dart throw in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2025 7:37 PM EST
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.
Oct 15, 2025 9:47 PM EST
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.
Oct 12, 2025 7:54 PM EST
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.
