Jauan Jennings Dealing With Two Injuries, Not Practicing on Wednesday

Wednesday, September 17, 5:21 PM

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.

Ladd McConkey Picks Up DNP on Wednesday Due to Biceps Injury

Wednesday, September 17, 6:20 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (biceps) is on the Week 3 injury report and was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. It could help explain why McConkey wasn't all that involved in the Monday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders, when he caught all five of his targets for 48 yards. In the season-opening win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the second-year pass-catcher caught six of nine targets for 74 yards. McConkey is a must-start each week in fantasy lineups if he's active, especially with quarterback Justin Herbert looking strong early in 2025, but his status will be worth monitoring going into Sunday's divisional tilt in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. If McConkey is unable to play this weekend, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston will both draw more targets, as will rookie Tre' Harris. The return of Allen and the emergence of Johnston, who has three touchdowns in two games, has certainly lowered McConkey's fantasy ceiling so far.
