Jauan Jennings Remains Top Receiver on the Open Market

Thursday, March 12, 8:48 AM

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings had 15 receiving touchdowns and 1,618 yards on 132 receptions (203 targets) the last two years for the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old former seventh-round pick in 2020 out of Tennessee is one of the top available wideouts on the open market now, and he seems unlikely to return to the Bay Area after the Niners signed future Hall of Famer Mike Evans earlier this week. Behind Evans, the Niners have Ricky Pearsall, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins. The Niners could use more depth at the position, especially with Pearsall barely playing due to injuries in his first two seasons, but it still feels more likely that San Fran will wind up letting Jennings walk as a free agent. Jennings would obviously have a much lower floor in fantasy if he re-signed with the Niners. NFL.com's Steve Wyche thinks the Falcons would be a perfect fit for Jennings to work alongside Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.

Rashee Rice Looking to Return to Rookie Season Form?

Saturday, March 14, 12:58 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has struggled with availability over the last two seasons, and he's likely hoping to re-find the productivity he demonstrated as a rookie back in 2023. Over the last two years, Rice has been held to just 12 total games due to injury and suspension. He managed to tally 571 yards and five touchdowns across eight games in 2025, but he only finished as the WR40 in PPR leagues. By the time he returned after his eight-week suspension, it was too late for many of his fantasy managers to get back into contention. Being available for 17 games in 2026 would be ideal for Rice and his fantasy managers, as he has the ability to produce 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Unfortunately, there's still plenty of risk associated with drafting him. Rice faces an unresolved lawsuit for domestic violence and could end up being suspended again. Much like last year, we could see Rice's status remain in limbo deep into the summer, leaving plenty of uncertainty and doubt for fantasy managers. There's top-24 upside here if Rice plays 17 games, but we could also see a scenario where he misses half the year once again.
