Jauan Jennings Taking Part in Practice

Wednesday, July 23, 3:36 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice and is leading the team's wide receivers in drills, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. Recent reports suggested Jennings wants a new contract and requested a trade, making him a hold-in candidate, but that appears not to be the case. With Ricky Pearsall (hamstring), Brandon Aiyuk (knee), and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all dealing with injuries, and Deebo Samuel Sr. now in Washington, Jennings has the chance to establish himself as the clear WR1 in the Bay. The former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee set career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (975), and touchdowns (six) last season in 15 games and could be a 1,000-yard receiver in 2025. Despite the offseason rumors surrounding Jennings, he is a potential steal at his WR40 cost in preseason drafts.

Rome Odunze Could Take Off in Year 2

Monday, July 14, 7:16 PM

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain writes that Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze should be much better in 2025 with a better offensive scheme and improved quarterback play out of Caleb Williams. Fantasy managers were disappointed with Odunze last season after he was taken ninth overall by the Bears out of Washington. However, Fishbain points out that the 23-year-old pass-catcher was fifth among all rookies in receiving yards (734) while catching 53.5% of his targets. He was most definitely inconsistent and scored only three times in 17 games (12 starts), but there remains plenty of upside, and he should be better in new head coach Ben Johnson's offense with Keenan Allen gone. Odunze's after-the-catch abilities and physical prowess make him a nice WR3/flex with upside to target in fantasy drafts.
