Jennings (not injury related - personal) won't play Sunday in Chicago.
Jennings didn't practice at all this week due to a personal matter and thus now has been ruled out for Week 2 action. The Vikings lean on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison the most at wide receiver, but some targets seemingly will be available for Tai Felton and even Myles Price in Jennings' absence. Jennings' next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Sept. 27 at Tampa Bay.

Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Blanked in Minnesota debut
Rotowire
Jennings did not bring in his lone target during the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Kyler Murray's first pass attempt of the game was to Jennings, resulting in a Keisean Nixon interception that led to a 59-yard field goal from Trey Smack six plays later. Jennings didn't see another pass the rest of the way, even after Carson Wentz took over as the Vikings' QB for Murray after the latter left the game due to a concussion. Jennings' 31 snaps on offense were third most among wide receivers behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but the lack of offensive output from Jennings was disappointing given the solid production he had with the 49ers in 2024 and 2025. He'll look for better results in the Vikings' Week 2 clash Sept. 20 against a Bears defense that gave up 361 passing yards to Bryce Young in a 59-37 Week 1 win.

Jauan Jennings: Visiting with Minnesota
Rotowire
Jennings is visiting with the Vikings on Tuesday and Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Now that the NFL Draft has passed, signings no longer count toward the compensatory formula for 2027. That should lead to a flurry of activity around the league for its remaining big-name free agents, as Jennings hadn't drawn much interest on the open market until now. The 28-year-old had a productive five seasons in San Francisco, amassing 210 catches for 2,581 yards and 22 touchdowns as a trusted third-down and red-zone weapon. He'd be a potential upgrade on Jalen Nailor, who's now with the Raiders, as the Vikings' No. 3 wideout behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Throws TD pass in odd stat line
Rotowire
Jennings had one reception on three targets for 45 yards and completed his only pass attempt for a 29-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card game win over the Eagles.
Jennings had an unusual stat line after finishing with his lowest target and reception total since Week 6 of the regular season, while also grabbing his longest reception of 2025 and throwing a touchdown pass to boot. It wasn't the first time that the veteran wideout was asked to throw a pass in his career, as the 49ers ran a similar trick play in 2023 that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown. The 27-year-old's target share was concerning in the wild-card round, but his usage figures to balloon in the divisional round after TE George Kittle (Achilles) had to be carted off the field Sunday. WR Ricky Pearsall missed the game due to a knee injury, and his status remains in question for next week's showdown against the Seahawks, so Jennings could really be in store for a heavy workload in the divisional round if his fellow starter remains sidelined.
Jennings recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.
The 49ers' offense never got on track, meaning none of their skill-position players managed a notable performance. Positively, Jennings did maintain a key role, finishing third on the team with six targets. His most impactful play was a 16-yard reception early in the fourth quarter that got San Francisco into the red zone. Overall, Jennings couldn't replicate his 2024 season, but he still ended the regular season with 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine scores across 15 contests.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Extends TD streak to five games
Rotowire
Jennings had two receptions on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-38 victory over Chicago.
Jennings was quiet for most of this contest before breaking loose for the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. The veteran starter's two receptions checked in as his lowest total since being held to one catch back in Week 6. Jennings countered the decreased volume by hitting pay dirt for the fifth consecutive contest, helping him record double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career. The 27-year-old will aim to extend his scoring streak to six games in a pivotal matchup against Seattle that will decide the NFC's No. 1 seed in Week 18.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Brock Purdy is my Start of the Week, and Jennings is one of his top weapons, along with Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Coming into Week 15 against the Titans, Jennings has scored a touchdown in five of his past six games, including two in a row. He's averaging seven targets per game in his past four outings, and this is a great matchup against Tennessee. The Titans are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 15 guys have scored at least 12 PPR points against Tennessee this season. I like Jennings as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Hauls in TD in Week 13 win
Rotowire
Jennings caught four of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.
Both passing attacks struggled to deal with high winds in Cleveland, but Jennings was able to get on the other end of a Brock Purdy seven-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter. It's the fifth-year wideout's fourth score in the last five games, a stretch in which Jennings has put together a 23-246-4 line on 33 targets. He'll get a chance to rest during next week's bye before the 49ers host the Titans in Week 15.

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 7 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: 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.
