Jauan Jennings on Active Roster, Week 1 Status Remains "Murky"

Tuesday, August 26, 5:51 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) has not practiced with the team since July 27 due to a calf injury, but as expected, he remained on the active roster during cutdown day on Tuesday, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. However, there is really no clarity with Jennings, and there's no immediate word of any kind of contract resolution as he seeks a contract extension as he enters the second season of a two-year, $15.3 million deal. Maiocco writes that Jennings' status for Week 1 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks remains "murky." It's unclear if Jennings has sat out of practices because of his contract situation or his injury, but either way, his lack of activity this summer has made him more of a risky WR4/5 fantasy pick. Meanwhile, Ricky Pearsall is gaining steam as a potential breakout candidate at the cost of a WR4/flex.

George Pickens Being Moved Around

Tuesday, August 5, 9:16 PM

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that it's a good sign of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens in head coach Brian Schottenheimer's offense that the coaches have been able to "move him around to different receiver spots after he was exclusively an X receiver (split end) in Pittsburgh." Pickens and CeeDee Lamb worked out together in Florida in the offseason, and new receivers coach Junior Adams "has had the two working off each other constantly to try and build culture in his room." Things didn't end well for Pickens with the Steelers, but the early signs going into his first year in Dallas are "pretty good." The 24-year-old former second-rounder has had at least 801 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. He's going to take a back seat to Lamb in this offense, but in what should be a pass-happy scheme, Pickens has lots of upside as a WR3/flex in fantasy in his new home.
