Ricky Pearsall could have an increased role in Week 12 against Carolina, but I still like Jennings as the best wide receiver for the 49ers. He had a down game in Week 11 at Arizona with four catches for 54 yards on six targets, but prior to that, he scored at least 14.1 PPR points in his previous two games. The Panthers have allowed a receiver to score at least 16.1 PPR points in four games in a row, and I hope Jennings will keep that streak alive in this matchup. He should be considered a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all formats. Pearsall is also worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver as well.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 54 yards in blowout
Rotowire
Jennings had four receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.
Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned to the starting lineup following a five-game absence, but Jennings still led all San Francisco wide receivers in targets and production Sunday. RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle accounted for all of the scoring, leaving Jennings with a pedestrian fantasy score despite finishing in a three-way tie for the team lead in targets. Jennings will attempt to get back into the scoring column against the Panthers next Monday after hitting pay dirt in each of his previous two appearances.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Jennings is on a hot streak heading into Week 11 at Arizona, and he's worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. He has scored at least 14.1 PPR points in each of his past two games against the Giants and Rams, and he has 10 catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets over that span. Jennings missed the first game against the Cardinals in Week 3, but Ricky Pearsall had eight catches for 117 yards on 11 targets in that matchup. And Arizona has allowed at least one receiver to score at least 12.4 PPR points in every game this season, with 11 total receivers reaching that mark this year. Jennings should have the chance for his third game in a row with quality production in this matchup.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Best line since Week 2
Rotowire
Jennings corralled six of nine targets for 71 yards and a touchdown while losing a fumble in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.
Jennings was stripped on a first-quarter reception for his first lost fumble of the season. Aside from the hiccup, the veteran starter went on to produce his best receiving line since an impressive showing back in Week 2 (5-89-1). Jennings has been heating up in recent weeks, scoring in consecutive appearances while recording at least four receptions in four straight. Ricky Pearsall (knee) keeps racking up missed games while Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still seems a ways away, so Jennings could continue operating as the 49ers' top receiver against the Cardinals next Sunday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Jennings had a solid game in Week 9 at the Giants with four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and he scored double digits in PPR for the first time since Week 2. He missed the Week 5 game at the Rams, but we all remember Week 3 last year at Los Angeles when he had 11 catches for 175 yards and three touchdowns on 12 targets against the Rams. I'm treating him like a No. 3 Fantasy receiver this week in the majority of leagues, and the Rams have allowed seven receivers this season to score at least 12.6 PPR points. Hopefully, Jennings will be in that range -- or higher -- in this game.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Scores TD in Week 9 win
Rotowire
Jennings caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Jennings continues to gut it out while playing through multiple injuries, but he has reportedly started to feel healthier in recent weeks, which is supported by an uptick in production. He has notched four receptions in three consecutive games after reaching that threshold only once through Week 6. Jennings scored his second touchdown of the season on an 11-yard catch in the second quarter. It remains to be seen if he'll be catching passes from Mac Jones again in Week 10 against the Rams or if Brock Purdy (toe) will be back under center.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Jennings hasn't done much in the past two games against Atlanta and Houston, with a combined 15.6 PPR points in those outings. But those are tough matchups, and Jennings should perform better in Week 9 against the Giants, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. In the past five games, eight receivers have scored at least 11 PPR points against the Giants, including four touchdowns. Jennings also has seven targets in each of his past two games, and hopefully, he'll be that involved again in Week 9.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Jennings didn't play well last week, which may have hidden the fact that he leads the team with a 25.5% target share over the past two weeks. The Giants secondary is in shambles, and Jennings has a great opportunity to take advantage of that. An added benefit is that the 49ers defense is also ravaged by injuries, so the Giants should be able to score enough to keep whoever is playing quarterback for the 49ers throwing.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm looking forward to seeing what Jennings can do when Brock Purdy (toe) is back for the 49ers, and Jennings has the potential to be a solid No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. Despite George Kittle returning from his hamstring injury in Week 7, Jennings has still had seven targets in each of the past two games against Atlanta and Houston, which are tough matchups. He only had eight catches for 76 yards over that span with no touchdowns, but I like the upside for Jennings when Purdy is healthy. Jennings is worth adding for 5 to 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Under 50 receiving yards in loss
Rotowire
Jennings brought in four of seven targets for 45 yards in the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Jennings finished as the team leader in receiving yards and targets while tying for the top mark in receptions as well, but his line could have been much fuller had the veteran wideout not dropped a catchable ball from Mac Jones midway through the third quarter. Jennings has consecutive four-catch tallies, but he's mostly been unable to capitalize on the ongoing absences of Brandon Aiyuk (PUP, knee) and Ricky Pearsall (knee). Jennings, who's dealt with multiple injuries in his own right and missed two games this season, will take an 18-212-1 receiving line on 36 targets into a Week 9 road matchup against the Giants.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
There are a lot of moving parts for the 49ers heading into Week 8, and we don't know if Brock Purdy (toe) or Ricky Pearsall (knee) will return to action following extended absences, as well as Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who has been out all season. George Kittle was back on the field in Week 7 against the Falcons for the first time since Week 1, and Jennings has been battling a myriad of injuries. But he played in Week 7 against Atlanta and had four catches for 31 yards on seven targets, which was second on the team behind only Christian McCaffrey. We know Purdy and Jennings have a solid rapport, and Jennings has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. He's a good stash candidate to put on your bench for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 31 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/ribs/shoulder) had four receptions on seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.
Jennings was dealing with a myriad of minor injuries before being cleared of all designations leading up to Sunday's kick off. The 27-year-old operated as the 49ers' top wideout with Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still unavailable for Week 7. Jennings' 31 receiving yards and seven targets led all San Francisco receivers not named Christian McCaffrey, who carried the offense with 201 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Look for Jennings' production to improve alongside his health as the season progresses. Up next is a road tilt against the Texans next Sunday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Dodges injury designation
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
He'll play for a second straight week, but Jennings is tough to trust in fantasy after getting just three targets last Sunday at Tampa Bay and then saying afterward that he's playing through five cracked ribs, among other injuries. He did take 77 percent of San Francisco's snaps on offense, and there's potential for a similar rate (or higher) Week 7, with Ricky Pearsall (knee) still out and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) now on injured reserve.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Stays limited at practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings noted after this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay that he played with five broken ribs and a sprained ankle, and while he mustered 77 percent (53 of 69) of the offensive snaps, the result was one catch (on three targets) for seven yards. All of Ricky Pearsall (knee, DNP), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, DNP), Skyy Moore (ankle, LP) and Jordan Watkins (calf, LP) are listed on the 49ers' second Week 7 injury report, so it remains to be seen who among the five wide receivers will be available Sunday against the Falcons. Currently, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are the only healthy options at the position on the active roster.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Limited in practice
Rotowire
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings played through five broken ribs, among other health concerns, during the 49ers' loss to Tampa Bay in Week 6, a contest in which he handled 77 percent of offensive snaps but secured just one of three targets for seven yards. While Jennings may again manage to play through his injuries at home against the Falcons on Sunday, he's combined for just three grabs for 31 yards (on seven targets) in his last two appearances. Meanwhile, Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Skyy Moore (undisclosed) are not practicing Wednesday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Slated to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings, who is questionable to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jennings missed last Thursday's overtime win over the Rams due to an ankle issue and began this week of practice as a non-participant before upgrading to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. The increased practice participation appears to be enough to allow Jennings to make his return to the field against the Buccaneers in Week 6, though official word on his status won't arrive until the 49ers unveil their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jennings does indeed suit up, he should work as the team's top pass-catching option due to Ricky Pearsall (knee) already being ruled out and with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Jennings would be working with quarterback Mac Jones (oblique/knee), who is expected to start, with Brock Purdy (toe) set to miss another contest. Schefter notes that Pearsall and Purdy could return in Week 7, so San Francisco's injury-ravaged air attack seems to be slowly getting healthier.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After missing Week 5, Jennings returned to practice Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to suit up Week 6. Teammates Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) have been ruled out, while QB Mac Jones (oblique/knee) joins Jennings with a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are the likely beneficiaries if Jennings doesn't end up playing or is limited.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Back at practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib) returned to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
This marks Jennings' first on-field work since Week 4 prep as he tends to lingering ankle and rib injuries. GM John Lynch said earlier Thursday that Jennings may be limited at the 49ers' upcoming session and also return for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. The team's second Week 6 practice report will reveal Jennings' activity level Thursday, but he likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: No activity at Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Jennings (ankle/ribs) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Jennings previously sat out the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an ankle issue, and that injury plus a new rib concern is clouding his availability for Thursday's game against the Rams. After being gauged as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jennings will be a spectator Tuesday in the 49ers' lone on-field session this week. The 49ers will decide Wednesday whether Jennings takes a designation into the Week 5 contest, or if he'll be ruled out in advance of the game. The San Francisco pass-catching corps could once again be shorthanded with Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jordan Watkins (calf) all sitting out Tuesday's practice, while tight end George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) aren't on track to return from IR until at least Week 6.
