Who Should I Start? Jauan Jennings or Darnell Mooney

Wednesday, September 3, 10:54 PM

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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) remains listed as day-to-day in practice this week. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson noted that Mooney is "day-to-day, but he looks good and is running really well." The veteran wideout sustained the injury early in training camp, though he was expecting to be ready for the regular season. Mooney was limited in Wednesday's session; however, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. expressed optimism about his availability for Week 1. His participation in Thursday and Friday's practices will be key in determining whether he suits up when the Falcons open against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
