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.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: DNP on estimated injury report
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings continues to deal with the ankle issue that kept him out in Week 3, but he's also tending to a rib injury stemming from a big hit he took in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He finished the contest with a 73 percent snap share and two catches on four targets for 24 yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic earlier Monday that the statuses of Jennings and fellow WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) are up in the air, so the 49ers' receiving corps could be in rough shape for Thursday's game at the Rams.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Uncertain for Thursday night
Rotowire
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (undisclosed) is up in the air for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Jennings had sat out Week 3 due to ankle and shoulder injuries before retaking the field during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in which he secured two of four targets for 24 yards and at one point had to be evaluated on the sidelines after suffering a hit to the ribs. Monday's official practice report will reveal the injuries Jennings is currently dealing with, as well as his activity level, and his status will need to be closely monitored with a short week of preparation on deck before a road Thursday Night Football matchup. Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) also are being evaluated.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings was listed as a non-participant on five straight injury reports due to shoulder and ankle injuries before getting back on the field Friday, giving him a chance to return to action this weekend. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe), who has been cleared for his first game action since Week 1.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Remains sidelined from practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Jennings hasn't been able to practice since coming out of a Week 2 win at New Orleans with an ankle injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan has referred to Jennings as day-to-day each of the last two weeks, but the wide receiver may not be a viable candidate for game action until he mixes into at least some drills. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Jennings has a chance to play Sunday against the Jaguars.
