Should I Start Jauan Jennings?

Tuesday, November 10, 10:44 AM

Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on The Pat McAfee Show that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is dealing with a calf strain but is hopeful to return in Week 10 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Rosenhaus added that Jennings seems very happy in Minnesota and that it is his belief that he will stay with the Vikings beyond Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Jennings reportedly turned down a potential trade that was being worked out for the 49ers to reacquire him. Instead, the Niners pivoted and acquired veteran pass-catcher Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been a non-factor in the Vikings' offense through his six games played so far in 2026, catching only six passes for 54 yards and no touchdowns. However, the addition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins should be good news for Jennings, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison in the second half of the season. Target volume is still going to be an issue when Jennings returns in Minnesota, though, and he will probably continue to be a hard-to-trust WR4/5 in fantasy.
