JauanJennings

News: 1 day agoJennings (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Jennings didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by reporters at Friday's session. It's not looking great right now, but the 49ers could treat Jennings as a game-day decision ahead of their 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. If Jennings doesn't play, Ricky Pearsall will project for a larger target share, while veteran wideouts Kendrick Bourne, Russell Gage, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore take on Jennings' vacated snaps.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After three seasons playing a depth role, Jennings enjoyed a breakout in 2024. The 2020 seventh-round pick soaked up a 25% target share en route to a top-30 finish among WRs in targets, catches, yards, TDs, end zone targets and fantasy points (27th in PPG). His 46.5-point effort in Week 3 was the third-highest total posted in a single week last season. Jennings' usage benefited from injuries above him on the depth chart, but with Deebo Samuel Sr. gone and Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss roughly half the season, he's again ticketed for a big role in 2025. Jennings, who ranked 11th among WRs in yards per route run, is a viable flex target, though a slow start is possible after he missed significant chunk of offseason activities.
