Jennings finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 47-24 loss to Arizona. He was ejected in the second quarter for fighting with a Cardinals player.
Jennings took over as the 49ers' No. 1 option due to Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale. The 26-year-old Jennings had a career year in 2024, setting new highs in receptions (77), yards (975) and touchdowns (six) while primarily filling in for Brandon Aiyuk (knee) midseason, though his combativeness may have cost him his first 1,000-yard season after getting ejected with a half-plus left to play. The upstart receiver will now enter the second year of a two-year contract reconstruction, with the possibility of continuing his elevated role for the 49ers in 2025.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Jennings needs 77 yards for the first 1,000-yard season of his NFL career, and he should get it in Week 18 at Arizona. Jennings and Joshua Dobbs played together in college at Tennessee, and that connection was evident when Dobbs came on for Brock Purdy (elbow) in Week 17 against Detroit. The Cardinals are a tough matchup at No. 10 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Jennings has to contend with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and Ricky Pearsall getting targets. But I'm expecting Dobbs to lean on Jennings to help him reach his milestone, and he's worth using as a No. 2 receiver in all leagues. I also like Ricky Pearsall as a sleeper in this game, especially with Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) out.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Solid PPR performance
Rotowire
Jennings finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 67 yards in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.
Jennings turned in another routine performance that would have pleased those playing in PPR and deeper fantasy formats. The veteran starter's stats seem dwarfed in a game that featured two 100-yard receivers for San Francisco. Jennings inched closer to his first 1,000-yard campaign Monday, needing just 77 receiving yards against the Cardinals in Week 18 in order to accomplish the feat.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Jennings and Deebo Samuel should have the chance to play well in Week 17 against the Lions, and both are worth using as borderline starters in all leagues. Jennings is due for a big game after scoring 9.1 PPR points or less in each of the past two games against the Rams and Dolphins. And Samuel is coming off his best game of the season at Miami with 25.1 PPR points, so hopefully, he'll stay hot against Detroit. The Lions are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 14 PPR points against Detroit in the past five games. This game could be a high-scoring affair, and Jennings and Samuel should take advantage of this matchup at home.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Modest production Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings caught four of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Jennings took a back seat to San Francisco's remaining healthy star players (Deebo Samuel and George Kittle) to finish with a modest stat line in Sunday's loss. The 27-year-old Jennings upped his season totals to 63-856-6 through 13 games this year. Jennings' expanded role in 2024 has kept his floor high for fantasy managers, and the same could be said for next Monday's tilt against the Lions.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Highly inefficient in loss
Rotowire
Jennings secured two of nine targets for 31 yards in the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Just four days after bringing in seven of eight targets -- a pair of touchdown grabs among them -- against the Bears, Jennings saw a team-high target total in Thursday's rainy conditions but was highly inefficient. The veteran wideout entered Thursday with a solid 73.1 percent catch rate on the season, and his struggles led to his lowest yardage total since Week 6. Jennings will aim to bounce back against a talented Dolphins secondary in a Week 16 road interconference battle on Sunday, Dec. 22.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Breakout continues with two TDs
Rotowire
Jennings finished with seven receptions (on eight targets) for 90 yards and a pair of scores in Sunday's 38-13 rout over the Bears.
George Kittle led the 49ers in receiving yards (151) Sunday while Jennings took top honors in catches, targets and receiving touchdowns. The 27-year-old wideout continues to excel in a starting role for a San Francisco team that has lost several key players over the course of the season. Jennings is having a breakout season with a career-best line of 57-774-6 through 11 contests. He will attempt to build on those numbers in a potential high-scoring affair against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Leading receiver on three catches
Rotowire
Jennings brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.
Jennings wound up finishing as the 49ers' top receiving option on a night when the team totaled just 94 yards through the air. Harsh weather conditions limited what could have been a better game from the veteran receiver, who remains one of the few bright spots on a dwindling 49ers active roster. Jennings warrants consideration in all formats given his role and an upcoming decent home matchup against Chicago.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Jennings looks like the best San Francisco wide receiver heading into Week 12 at Green Bay, and he has top-10 upside given his recent level of play. In two games since returning from a two-game absence with a hip injury, Jennings has 17 catches for 184 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets, and he scored at least 16.3 PPR points in each outing against Tampa Bay and Seattle. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) missed practice Wednesday, which is a positive for Jennings, and Green Bay has allowed the opposing No. 1 receiver to score at least 13.7 PPR points in three games in a row.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Posts WR1 numbers Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
Jennings continues to thrive as a starter since being elevated to second on the depth chart coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee). With defenses keying in on Deebo Samuel since his running mate was lost for the year, Jennings has elevated his play to mimic that of the superstar he is filling in for. The window to snag Jennings has likely closed in competitive formats, but managers should continue to ride the hot hand as the 49ers hit the road to face the Packers next Sunday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
A mid-week addition to the injury report, Jennings was at least a limited participant in each practice and apparently will be fine for Sunday's game. He led the 49ers in targets (11) and receiving yards (93) during last week's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay, handling 90 percent snap share and 92 percent route share after missing the previous two games with a hip injury.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Tending to ankle injury

Jennings was limited at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Midweek additions to injury reports occasionally mean that health concerns were sustained in practice. It's unclear if this is the case for Jennings, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely to get a sense of his chances to suit up Sunday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Jennings played his first game since Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was lost for the season in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, and Jennings looked awesome with seven catches for 93 yards on 11 targets for 16.3 PPR points. I'm going to start Jennings as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues again in Week 11 against Seattle, and this is a great matchup. The Seahawks are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 10 receivers have scored at least 16.0 PPR points against Seattle in the past six games.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Leading receiver Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings (hip) finished with seven receptions (11 targets) for 93 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.
Jennings returned from a two-game absence (three weeks including the bye) and wound up leading the 49ers in receiving yards. The veteran slot man was also elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury, which occurred in the same contest Jennings suffered his hip injury. With good health and a larger role on offense, Jennings is looking like a hot pickup in fantasy for the second time this campaign. The 26-year-old can be considered a strong flex option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
I'm hopeful that Jennings will make his return to the field in Week 10 at Tampa Bay after missing the past two games with a hip injury. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the season, and Jennings will be the No. 2 receiver for the 49ers opposite Deebo Samuel. Jennings has four games this season with at least five targets, and he scored at least 11.4 PPR points in three of them. This week, he has a great matchup against the Buccaneers, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Eight receivers have scored at least 12.6 PPR points against Tampa Bay in the past five games, which bodes well for Samuel and Jennings in Week 10.

Jennings will return from a two-game absence after upgrading to full practice participation at the end of the week. Meanwhile, Deebo Samuel (oblique/rib) is listed as questionable and Chris Conley (hamstring) ruled out, potentially giving Jennings a bigger role in the gameplan, although Samuel seems to be on track to play.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (hip) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Jennings has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a hip injury, missing two contests as a result. With the benefit of a Week 9 bye, he's now ramping up his activity level in advance of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. If he's able to return to action this weekend, Jennings likely will serve as one of the 49ers' starting wide receivers alongside Deebo Samuel (oblique/ribs) due to Brandon Aiyuk (knee) being out for the season due to ACL and MCL tears.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Missing second straight game
Rotowire
Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Jennings will be sidelined for a second game in a row after he continued to miss practice time this week while tending to a hip injury. With a bye on tap Week 9 to provide him with additional healing time, Jennings should have a good chance at being ready to go when the 49ers return to action Sunday, Nov. 10 at Tampa Bay, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks with the hip when he eventually returns to practice. Once he's healthy, Jennings should be in store for a regular starting role for the rest of the campaign after the 49ers placed Brandon Aiyuk on injured reserve this week with season-ending ACL and MCL tears.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Jennings (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings has yet to log any on-field work since he showed up on the 49ers' injury report last Wednesday with a hip issue. Meanwhile, the top of the 49ers' receiving corps is compromised, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and Deebo Samuel (wrist) in recovery mode from pneumonia. Samuel was able to log a limited practice Thursday, so he seemingly has a better chance than Jennings to be available Sunday against the Cowboys.
