Quiet to close campaign
Jennings recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Saturday's divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Jennings was predictably one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, though his stat line reflects San Francisco's inability to move the ball effectively in the loss. He did account for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 19-yard catch and run to begin the second half, but he also had a key drop late in the third quarter on third down. While Jennings' season didn't end positively, he tallied a career-high nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

Throws TD pass in odd stat line
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Disappointing Week 18 performance
Jennings recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: 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.

Extends TD streak to five games
Jennings had two receptions on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-38 victory over Chicago.
Analysis: 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…read more

Scoring binge continues Monday
Jennings corralled five of six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 48-27 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Jennings' short touchdown grab on the 49ers' first possession of the second half extended the wideout's scoring streak to four games. The 27-year-old has shown a strong nose for the end zone in the second half of the season as well, scoring seven of his career-best eight touchdowns in 2025 over his last seven starts. Jennings already was being asked to play a larger role on offense with WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) back on the sidelines, and that role could expand further if TE George Kittle…read more

Scores twice in win over TEN
Jennings finished with three receptions on five targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Jennings was money in the red zone Sunday when he cashed in a pair of short touchdown receptions to bring his season total up to seven. That marks a new career high for the veteran starter, who broke out with a 77-975-6 receiving line in 2024. Jennings has really picked things up in the second half with six touchdowns scored over his last six appearances. With QB Brock Purdy looking as healthy as he has all season, Jennings is primed for a strong finish to the fantasy campaign, starting with…read more

Hauls in TD in Week 13 win
Jennings caught four of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.
Analysis: 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.

Finds end zone Monday
Jennings recorded five receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Monday's 20-9 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Jennings kicked the scoring off Monday with a 12-yard touchdown grab on the opening possession. The 27-year-old has now made four trips to the end zone this season, with three of those coming over San Francisco's last four contests. Jennings is beginning to hit his stride after attempting to play through broken ribs in the early portion of the schedule. The physical wideout is averaging 4.6 receptions and 50.4 yards over his last five appearances.

Gains 54 yards in blowout
Jennings had four receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: 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…read more

Best line since Week 2
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Scores TD in Week 9 win
Jennings caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Analysis: 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…read more

Under 50 receiving yards in loss
Jennings brought in four of seven targets for 45 yards in the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: 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).

Gains 31 yards Sunday
Jennings (ankle/ribs/shoulder) had four receptions on seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: 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.

Dodges injury designation
Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Stays limited at practice
Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Playing through broken ribs
Jennings said after Sunday's loss to the Bucs that he played with five broken ribs against Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings missed Week 5 against the Rams with the injury but returned to the lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay. However, he was almost nonexistent in the box score, finishing with just one catch for seven yards as an afterthought in the passing game. Jennings didn't look anywhere near 100 percent health. Kendrick Bourne turned in another stellar performance, securing five of nine targets for 142 yards as Mac Jones' preferred go-to option.

Analysis: Jennings sat out a Week 5 win at the Rams due to the rib injury that he picked up during a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars. He managed to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday before the 49ers tagged him as questionable for Week 6 action.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: The same can be said for QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee), but unlike those two players, Shanahan didn't provide insight into Jennings' chance to return to action this weekend. Having said that, Jennings likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to put himself in a position to play Sunday at Tampa Bay. In three games this season, Jennings has put together a modest 9-129-1 line on 19 targets.

Analysis: As expected, Jennings will end up missing his first game of the season after his pair of injuries prevented him from practicing in any capacity this week. With Jennings sidelined, Ricky Pearsall will be locked in as the No. 1 target for quarterback Mac Jones, who will make a second straight start in place of the injured Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder).

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings is viewed as day-to-day as this weekend's game against the Cardinals approaches. Jennings, who had been nursing a shoulder injury heading into Week 2, parlayed his 87 percent snap share into a 5-89-1 receiving line on a team-high 10 targets in the victory over New Orleans.

Hauls in deep TD against Saints
Jennings caught five of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over New Orleans.
Analysis: The veteran wideout had a little trouble getting on the same page with new quarterback Mac Jones early in the contest, but the duo connected on a 42-yard TD in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winning score. Jennings' final line, and the performance of the 49ers' offense in general without Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) under center, was very encouraging, and he'll look to keep rolling in a Week 3 clash with the Cardinals.

Suiting up in Week 2
Jennings (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jennings was forced out of last Sunday's win at Seattle in the fourth quarter due to a left shoulder injury, which capped him to one limited practice during Week 1 prep. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday evening that Jennings was considered a game-time decision for Week 2 action, with a pregame workout to determine whether or not he'd be active. Now that his status has been confirmed for Sunday's contest, Jennings will be available to the 49ers offense, but it remains to be seen…read more

Trending toward playing
Jennings (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in New Orleans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported Saturday that while Jennings was viewed as a game-time decision for Week 2, the 49ers had optimism that he would be able to play. Jennings' prospects for suiting up Sunday having seemingly only improved overnight, though the 49ers will likely wait and see how he fares during a pregame workout before clearing him to play in advance of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Jennings ultimately gets the green light to play, he'll be working with a new…read more

Optimism for Sunday
Jennings, who is listed as questionable to play Sunday against New Orleans due to a shoulder injury, is considered a game-time decision, though the 49ers have "optimism he goes," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jennings hurt his shoulder during the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Seahawks and sat out each of the 49ers' first two practices this week. However, he was able to return in a limited fashion Friday to get a designation of questionable heading into the weekend. While Rapoport indicates the 49ers are optimistic Jennings will be able to play, that decision probably won't be made until the wideout goes through his pregame workout. Official word on Jennings' status will arrive when the 49ers release…read more

Questionable for Week 2
Jennings (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jennings didn't finish the Week 1 win over Seattle or practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned Friday in a limited capacity, giving himself at least some chance to play ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With QB Brock Purdy (toe) and TE George Kittle (hamstring) both ruled out, Jennings will project for a large target share if he plays, but without many of the surrounding conditions that have made San Francisco players so valuable for fantasy football in recent years.

Returns to practice
Jennings (shoulder) returned to practice Friday, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: He may have limitations but at least was participating during the media-access portion of practice. Jennings didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, following an early exit from the Week 1 win over Seattle due to a left shoulder injury. If he's able to play Week 2, he'll catch passes from backup quarterback Mac Jones this Sunday in New Orleans.

Idle for another practice
Jennings (shoulder) was spotted working off to the side with a trainer during Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Jennings looks set to go down as a non-participant for the 49ers' second practice in a row, making his activity in Friday's session critical when it comes to determining his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints. If Jennings is able to play through the injury to his left shoulder this weekend, he'll be on the receiving end of targets from a new quarterback in Mac Jones, who is on track to start Sunday with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) likely to be out for the next 2-to-5 weeks.

After undergoing an MRI on Monday, he doesn't appear to have a serious health concern, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but he'll focus on treatment versus on-field work during the 49ers' first practice of Week 2 prep.

Injury considered minor
Jennings appears to have avoided a serious injury to his left shoulder after he underwent an MRI on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though the 49ers have yet to provide an updated diagnosis on the injury that knocked Jennings out in the fourth quarter Sunday, the 28-year-old wideout looks to have steered clear of a significant setback. Jennings had previously missed time during training camp due to a calf issue and also expressed dissatisfaction with his contract situation, but the latter matter was resolved last week with an additional $3 million in incentives, and he was able to practice leading up to the season opener.…read more

Analysis: Jennings got hurt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks, after catching two of five targets for 16 yards. He had been battling an unrelated calf injury heading into the game. The banged-up wideout's status for Week 2 against the Saints should gain some clarity once the results of the MRI become available.

Jennings had two catches (on five targets) for 16 yards prior to his departure.

Week 1 appearance on tap
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Jennings (calf) is "good to go" for Sunday's contest at Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. "He's had a real good week," Shanahan added. "[He's] gotten better and better throughout the week, and I'm excited to see him out there Sunday."
Analysis: Jennings logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the calf injury that's impacted him at times since the offseason program, but he also gained some clarity with his contract this week when he and the 49ers agreed to $3 million in play-time incentives for the 2025 season.

Inks incentive-based contract
The 49ers and Jennings (calf) agreed Wednesday to add $3 million in play-time incentives to his contract for the 2025 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jennings spent much of the summer nursing a calf injury while also making it known that he wanted a new contract. While it's not a multi-year deal for Jennings, the $3 million increases the wide receiver's earning potential for 2025 up to $10.5 million. Jennings is scheduled to be a free agent next March. As far as his Week 1 availability against the Seahawks, Jennings was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, putting him on track to play Sunday.

Per Wagoner, GM John Lynch said last Wednesday that he had no intentions of trading the wide receiver, and now Jennings will log two practices in three days to begin this week, albeit with a cap on his reps.

General manager John Lynch said in late August that the team doesn't intend to trade Jennings, but he spoke of the wide receiver's availability for Week 1 in uncertain terms.

Analysis: Lynch confirmed that Jennings requested a trade at one point due to frustration with contract negotiations, saying it was "a while ago" and the team has moved on. Jennings showed up for the start of training camp but then left the fourth practice early with a calf injury -- an issue that Lynch says is legitimate and not just an excuse to miss practice during contract negotiations.

May be available Week 1
Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed after Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers that Jennings (calf) has a chance to be available for a Week 1 road matchup with the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. "I expect him to be back, he should be back from it," Shanahan said. "But you never know with a calf."
Analysis: The 49ers don't play again until Sunday, Sept. 7, so Jennings has two weeks to recover from the calf injury that has plagued him since the early days of training camp and sidelined him entirely since Aug. 4. He thus didn't see any exhibition action, but whenever he's healthy he's expected to help pace a wide receiver group that won't have top option Brandon Aiyuk (knee) available until roughly Week 6. With both Aiyuk and possibly Jennings sidelined, though, Ricky Pearsall might be left as the…read more

Analysis: Shanahan declined to offer an update on when Jennings, who left Sunday's practice early, will return. The calf issue Jennings previously dealt with during the offseason was downplayed as minor, and he had successfully passed his physical to start training camp, but it remains to be seen whether this aggravation has resulted in a more serious injury.

Leads team with 10 targets
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.
Analysis: 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.

Solid PPR performance
Jennings finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 67 yards in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: 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.

Modest production Sunday
Jennings caught four of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: 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.

Highly inefficient in loss
Jennings secured two of nine targets for 31 yards in the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: 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.

Jennings brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: 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.

Gains 40 yards with backup QB
Jennings caught five of seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, limiting the output of all skill-position players not named George Kittle in a blowout loss to Green Bay. Jennings actually led the team's wideouts with his modest production, but it still left much to be desired based on his increased production in 2024. The four-year veteran will carry a 47-628-4 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee).

Analysis: Jennings is attempting to put the hip injury that sidelined him Weeks 7 and 8 in the rearview mirror, but he so far has managed a pair of capped sessions coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. Friday's practice thus should be key for how he's listed heading into the weekend, and if he's able to return for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay, he'll fill a key role in San Francisco's pass game with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season.

Still not practicing
Jennings (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: 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.

Not practicing Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The state of the 49ers' receiving corps is such that Jennings will be welcomed back with open arms once he gets past the hip injury that sidelined him Week 7. After this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that he hoped Jennings would be back this week, but his lack of activity Wednesday isn't a great sign. Fortunately for Jennings, he'll have sessions Thursday and Friday to put himself on a path to suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys. If he's…read more

Chance to play Week 8
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs that the 49ers hope to get Jennings (hip) back for Week 8 against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings didn't practice in any capacity prior to sitting out Sunday's loss, but the team's optimism regarding his Week 8 status suggests Jennings isn't looking at an extended absence. That may not be the case for fellow 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who is feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear against Kansas City. Jennings has proven capable of stepping up when the 49ers are shorthanded at wide receiver, as he had 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Week 3.

Ruled out for Week 7
Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jennings didn't practice at all this week, leaving the 49ers with Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and rookies Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall (chest) as the WR choices behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist). While Pearsall's status as a first-round pick makes him the one with the most long-term fantasy interest, he may not have much of a role after spending the first six weeks of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list due to injuries sustained in a shooting. Conley is the favorite…read more

Misses another practice
Jennings (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) has a shot to make his NFL regular-season debut, but the 49ers probably will favor veteran Chris Conley in the No. 3 receiver role if Jennings doesn't play this Sunday against the Chiefs. A third straight missed practice has Jennings trending toward his first absence of the season.

Missing practice with hip injury
Jennings won't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The hip issue is a new concern for San Francisco's No. 3 receiver, who is coming off a 3-27-0 receiving line (five targets) in last Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle. Jennings has just seven catches for 128 yards in three games since erupting for a 11-175-3 receiving line Week 3 against the Rams, as he's been operating as the fourth option in San Francisco's passing game ever since Deebo Samuel and George Kittle returned from their respective injuries.

Gains 27 yards on TNF
Jennings had three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Jennings saw the field for nearly half (49 percent) of San Francisco's offensive plays Thursday, a number which has mirrored his snap count this season aside from his standout performance against the Rams back in Week 3. Since that three-score game, the veteran slot man has produced just seven catches for 128 yards with no trips to the end zone over his last three contests. Jennings remains an option for those in deeper formats when the 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Quiet game Sunday
Jennings had one reception (on three targets) for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Jennings saw his usual allotment of snaps on offense (57 percent) but simply was not involved enough to produce positive fantasy results. The veteran slot man goes through quiet spells from time to time, so his value shouldn't have changed much assuming managers weren't shooting for the moon. Jennings and the 49ers will travel to Seattle for Thursday Night Football in Week 6.

Jennings turned three receptions (six targets) into 88 yards in Sunday's 30-13 victory over New England.
Analysis: Jennings failed to replicate last week's three-score performance for eager fantasy managers, but the veteran receiver still led the 49ers in targets and receiving yards, and that was with fellow starters Deebo Samuel (calf) and Brandon Aiyuk both active. San Francisco's slot man remains a hot play in fantasy while his role on offense remains enlarged sans Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles).

Goes for three TDs
Jennings hauled in 11 of his 12 targets for 175 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Jennings filled in for a couple of injured 49ers receiving options Sunday, benefitting greatly from the promotion to deliver three scores and big-time receiving numbers for fantasy managers. San Francisco suffered the loss sans multiple superstars, but Jennings proved that he can elevate his game when called upon. The veteran slot man will undoubtedly be a hot waiver pickup ahead of Week 4 action in fantasy leagues in which he hasn't already been snapped up.

Nabs two receptions Sunday
Jennings (ankle) had two receptions (on four targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Jennings carried a questionable tag through the practice week after picking up an ankle injury Week 1 against the Jets. The veteran slot receiver was cleared from the injury report prior to kickoff, producing a stereotypical receiving line for those in deep leagues. A healthy Jennings should make for a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option against the Rams on Sunday.

Cleared for Week 2
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jennings was listed with an ankle injury ahead of Week 1 and even made a brief exit from Monday's win over the Jets, but it didn't stop him from catching each of his five targets for a team-high 64 receiving yards. He played 47 percent of San Francisco's snaps on offense and ran a route on 56 percent of the pass plays, filling his usual role as the No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. It is possible Jennings benefits from a few extra snaps here and there if Samuel continues to…read more

Jennings (ankle) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jennings made a brief exit during Monday's win against the Jets, but he ultimately played 35 of 72 offensive snaps en route to five catches (on five targets) for 64 yards. The elevated target count may have been due to fellow wideout Deebo Samuel getting more work in the backfield with Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) sidelined. In any case, Jennings will join McCaffrey with a cap on his reps to kick off Week 2 prep, meaning the situation bears watching to see if the former will remain more…read more

Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings was slow to get up after making a third-down reception early in the third quarter, and he was in the blue medical tent for the 49ers' ensuing possession before later checking back into the contest.

The 27-year-old is slated to fill the 49ers' No. 3 wideout role behind star pass catchers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, though Jennings could see a bit more attention Monday due to Aiyuk not being expected to handle a full workload after sitting out most of training camp while pushing for a…read more

Jennings has been a fixture in three-wide sets for the 49ers over the last few seasons, but he hasn't been a big target-earner as the fifth option in the offense.

Given that it was unlikely any team would give up a pick that early for the right to pay Jennings a considerable contract, a trade was the only other viable option.

Analysis: Jennings got involved offensively against the Cardinals after laying a goose egg against another division foe in Week 14.

Analysis: Jennings received his usual allotment of snaps as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout, but there wasn't much work left for him after a trio of teammates combined for four touchdowns Thursday. The 26-year-old has just two catches over his last three games, which is primarily the result of San Francisco getting healthy on offense following its bye. Jennings' role should remain constant in Week 13 when the 49ers face the Eagles on Dec. 3.

No catches Sunday
Jennings failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 27-14 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Jennings was on the field for 33 percent of the 49ers' offensive plays Sunday, but he still went catch-less for the third time this year. San Francisco has been leaning on its top talent to reignite the team with two convincing wins coming out of the bye week. Unfortunately for Jennings, that has meant little work for he and the rest of the 49ers' role players. The 26-year-old has recorded just one reception over his last three games, which should keep him off of most fantasy radars heading…read more

Little usage as stars carry offense
Jennings was on the field for 18 offensive snaps (29 percent) against Jacksonville on Sunday, finishing with one reception on two targets for eight yards in a 34-3 win.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel (shoulder) returned from injury following San Francisco's Week 9 bye, pushing Jennings back into his regular spot on the depth chart. The 26-year-old was coming off a zero-target game in Week 8, so Sunday's paltry receiving line was technically a step forward. With the 49ers returning to full strength on offense and getting back in the win column, Jennings would likely need another injury to crack the starting lineup again this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect more than a…read more

Not targeted in spot-start
Jennings was in the starting lineup in place of Deebo Samuel (shoulder) on Sunday, but he was not targeted in a 31-17 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Jennings finished with no targets, despite being on the field for 50 of San Francisco's offensive snaps (85 percent) for the team's third loss in as many weeks. He wound up playing a larger share of snaps compared to last week's spot start, when he produced his best line of the season (5-54-0). With the 49ers entering a bye in Week 9, there is a good possibility Samuel could return to the starting lineup against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 12. If that happens, Jennings would slide back to his…read more

Garners nine targets on MNF
Jennings finished with five receptions (on nine targets) for 54 yards in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Jennings experienced a stark increase in targets, with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) on the sideline for Monday's loss, unlike last week when the slot receiver's usage remained stagnant following his star teammate's departure. The nine targets set a new career high for Jennings, a third-year wideout, but his five receptions Monday did not. Jennings should stick in the starting lineup after the team already ruled Samuel out for Week 8, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect this gaudy of a target total…read more

Finishes second in receiving Sunday
Jennings caught two of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Jennings finished as San Francisco's second leading receiver behind Brandon Aiyuk (4-76-0) after Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was forced out after playing just nine snaps Sunday. Jennings didn't see his snap count rise (35 offensive snaps), as Samuel's role was instead filled by the team's No. 4 option Ray-Ray McCloud (44 offensive snaps). A similar scenario unfolded when Aiyuk had to sit out a game earlier this season, confirming that Jennings is unlikely to move above or below his current slot…read more

Grabs one pass in return
Jennings (shin) caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Jennings returned from a one-game absence to reclaim his role as the 49ers' slot man Sunday. The 26-year-old wound up playing 27 snaps on offense (38 percent) while receiving just one target, as head coach Kyle Shanahan continues to lean on his star talent for production. Jennings didn't make much of an impact in the box score from a fantasy standpoint, but his lone catch helped extend one of San Francisco's lengthy drives against Dallas on Sunday.

Analysis: Jennings has a brighter outlook for Week 5 than he had Week 4, when he was listed as doubtful prior to being inactive this past Sunday against the Cardinals. After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, he now has been cleared for game action again.

Jennings (shin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: After not practicing at all last week ahead of a Week 4 absence, Jennings now has a pair of capped sessions under his belt this week. Fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee/ribs) has operated under the same regimen, so Friday's practice and subsequent injury report will be key to determining the status of the pair ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Cowboys.

Jennings (shin) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jennings didn't practice last week and ultimately missed Sunday's win over Arizona. The Niners didn't have any receivers besides Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel clear a 24 percent snap share in the contest, instead leaning on fullback Kyle Juszczyk (65 percent snap) a bit more than usual. Jennings will have a tough matchup with the Dallas defense if he's ready for Sunday's marquee showdown.

Jennings (shin) remains day-to-day ahead of Sunday night's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Jennings was inactive for the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Cardinals, but it appears as though there's a chance he could return to action this weekend. In Jennings' absence this past Sunday, Ray-Ray McCloud and Ronnie Bell logged complementary WR snaps behind Deebo Samuel (knee/ribs) and Brandon Aiyuk.

Inactive in Week 4
Jennings (shin) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: A shin injury thus will sideline Jennings for Week 4 action, thereby giving Ronnie Bell, Ray-Ray McCloud and potentially Willie Snead expanded opportunities for wide receiver reps behind Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder). Jennings will set his sights on returning to practice once the 49ers reconvene for Week 5 prep on Wednesday.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Jennings (shin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Barring dramatic improvement leading up to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Jennings will miss his first game of the season after he sat out all three of the 49ers' practices this week due to the shin injury. Jennings' likely absence should open up more reps at receiver for Ronnie Bell and Ray-Ray McCloud. Both Bell and McCloud could be primed for even larger roles if top wideout Deebo Samuel (knee/ribs) -- who is listed as questionable -- isn't cleared to play.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.
Analysis: It was Ray-Ray McCloud who started in place of Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) on Thursday, which kept Jennings in the No. 3 role. The former was not targeted on offense, while Jennings saw his usual allotment of targets and playing time (31 offensive snaps). It wound up being seventh-round rookie Ronnie Bell (2-24-1) who would cash in a score in Aiyuk's absence.

Jennings is expected to be in line for more playing time in Thursday's game with Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) inactive for the contest, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Receiver Deebo Samuel, tight end George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey are likely to rank as the top priorities in the Niners passing game Week 3, but the absence of Aiyuk at least opens up more opportunities for Jennings and Ronnie Bell to play alongside Samuel in two- and three-wide sets.

Gains 51 yards in win
Jennings had two receptions (on three targets) for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Jennings finished second in receiving yards for the 49ers after being held catch-less Week 1. The 26-year-old made a key play on one of his two receptions when he wrestled the ball away from his defender, turning the play into a 31-yard gain instead of an interception for quarterback Brock Purdy. Despite his strong play Sunday, Jennings is unlikely to see enough targets to warrant consideration outside of deeper formats against the Giants on Thursday.

Finishes with no receptions
Jennings was held catchless (on one target) in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: The 49ers had little use for its supporting cast after Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk carried the offense to a comfortable victory. Jennings wound up seeing the field for 32 percent of the offense's plays, but that number should go up in games that are more competitive than Sunday's blowout. Jennings' next chance to record his first catch of the season will come in a road matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Signs his one-year tender
The 49ers re-signed Jennings to a one-year, $940,000 contract Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings signed the dotted line Monday in order to get on the field for the start of the 49ers' offseason workout program this week. The seventh-round pick in 2020 has developed into a key member of San Francisco's offense as the third wideout and slot man. He has 59 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns over the last two seasons.

Filled slot role in 2022
Jennings finished with 35 receptions (56 targets) for 416 yards and a touchdown in 16 regular-season games with San Francisco this season.
Analysis: Jennings saw his offensive usage rise as the 49ers' slot receiver in his sophomore campaign. However, the 6-foot-3 wideout was unable to break through as a fantasy asset due to a lack of touchdowns. Jennings is scheduled to become a free agent this upcoming offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him stay in San Francisco after carving out a solid role this year.

Jennings (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings operated under practice restrictions Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but it won't impact his ability to suit up for the second round of the playoffs. With Deebo Samuel available the last two games, Jennings has moved back to a complementary role behind Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, gathering in three of seven targets for 51 yards during that span.

The severity of the issue remains unclear, but it's a positive sign to see him at least get some work in during Wednesday's practice.

The 25-year-old finished the regular season with 35 receptions for 416 yards and a touchdown.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Jennings made a couple of big catches in his third start in place of Deebo Samuel (ankle/knee), but his target share remained low despite the increased role. It has become clear that head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't plan to draw up more plays for the veteran wideout even as a starter. That being said, Jennings' value should remain unchanged whether or not Samuel is able to return against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Analysis: Jennings received another start in place of the injured Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle), logging 46 offensive snaps (88 percent) and finishing third in team targets. The 25-year-old did not experience an increase in production despite seeing his regular snap count double in these two starts. Samuel's earliest timetable could have him returning ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Raiders. If he is not ready to return, Jennings would garner another start -- with limited upside -- on New Year's Day.

Three catches in win
Jennings brought in three of five targets for 31 yards in the 49ers' 21-13 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Analysis: Jennings played a modest role despite the absence of Deebo Samuel (knee), checking in a distant second to George Kittle in receiving yardage. However, it was a relatively quiet night for the air attack overall, with Jennings' five targets checking in second on the team for the night. The fourth-year pro should have another opportunity to operate as the No. 2 wideout in a Week 16 home matchup against the Commanders a week from Saturday.

Role could increase in Week 15
Jennings played 20 offensive snaps (34 percent) and finished with one catch (two targets) for five yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Jennings turned in one of his worst performances in rookie Brock Purdy's first career start. It's hard to recommend a player after a poor outing, but the 49ers may be without the services of Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) for the immediate future, opening the door for Jennings to potentially start alongside Brandon Aiyuk. Assuming that holds true, the 25-year-old could generate some deep-league value against the Seahawks on Thursday.

Nabs two catches Sunday
Jennings finished with two receptions on four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over Miami.
Analysis: Fresh off of his best fantasy game of the season, Jennings reverted to his usual modest production. The 49ers lost starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) for the season, so it was encouraging to see the team's No. 3 wideout continuing to perform as expected with third-string rookie Brock Purdy under center. Jennings shouldn't be considered a starting fantasy option against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

Analysis: The usually sure-handed Jennings had a rough go of things in Mexico City as he failed to record a catch for the first time this season. The 25-year-old logged his usual share of snaps (38 percent) while serving as San Francisco's third wideout.

Analysis: Jennings was able to get back on the field and resume his role as the No. 3 wideout after missing a game prior to last week's bye with a bum hamstring. The 25-year-old saw his usual allotment of snaps on offense (33 percent) and continued to serve as Jimmy Garoppolo's preferred target on third downs (two conversions Sunday).

The same can be said for the team's No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring), so the position group is back to full strength ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Jennings managed one limited session in practice during Week 8 prep, but it wasn't enough to play through his hamstring issue. The 49ers also are without top wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) on Sunday, so Brandon Aiyuk will be joined in the lineup by some combination of Ray-Ray McCloud, Danny Gray, Willie Snead and Tay Martin at the position.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Jennings continues to be Jimmy Garoppolo's go-to man on third down, with two of the receiver's three targets coming on the crucial down. The 25-year-old hasn't recorded more than two receptions since Week 1, so he's more valuable to the 49ers than he is to fantasy managers.

Battling ankle injury
Jennings is day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Jennings played 18 of the 49ers' 49 snaps on offense (37 percent) in the Week 4 victory, turning his four targets into two catches for 22 yards. The team will return to the practice field Wednesday as they begin preparations for a matchup with the Panthers, but Jennings' status for that game looks uncertain.

Jennings had one reception (two targets) for four yards in Sunday's 27-7 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Jennings logged 35 offensive snaps (46 percent), good for third amongst all San Francisco wide receivers. While his stat line left much to be desired, the physical wideout made his presence felt in the run game. Starting quarterback Trey Lance (ankle) suffered a season-ending injury, but Jimmy Garoppolo was waiting in the wings, so the passing offense shouldn't suffer tremendously. That said, Jennings wasn't considered a fantasy option in standard formats prior to Lance's injury, so not much…read more

Leads team in receiving
Jennings played 41 of 68 offensive snaps and caught four of six targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Jennings turned out to be the unexpected beneficiary of Elijah Mitchell's (knee) early departure, as Deebo Samuel was forced back to play his unnatural position of running back, effectively making Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk (67 of 68 offensive snaps and two catches for 40 yards) to take over as the 49ers' top two wideouts for the remainder of the contest. The big-framed wideout has improved at a rapid pace since he was selected in the seventh round of the 2020 Draft. Jennings already was lined…read more

Sticking with San Francisco
Jennings signed his exclusive rights tender with the 49ers on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings will return for his third season with San Francisco as he was ineligible to negotiate with outside teams this offseason. The 2020 seventh-round pick caught 24 passes for 282 yards and five touchdowns over 16 regular-season games last season after not seeing the field in his rookie season. Jennings also accounted for 51 rushing yards on 13 carries last season and should slot in as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout in 2022 barring any changes to the position group.

Best game of professional career
Jennings had six receptions (seven targets) for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Jennings saved his best game for the regular-season finale, as his two-touchdown performance helped propel the 49ers to an upset victory than landed his team in the playoffs. The 23-year-old hadn't topped three receptions, 46 yards or one touchdown in any of his previous 15 appearances this season, but he crushed each of those categories in one fell swoop against the Rams. Jennings has shown soft hands to complement his large frame (6-foot-3, 212 pounds), but it would be surprising if he…read more

Has two receptions in win
Jennings caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Jennings saw his usual allotment of offensive snaps (48 percent) as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout, finishing with two receptions for the second week in a row. The 23-year-old didn't see his role on offense change much with rookie Trey Lance under center, so there isn't much to report here from a fantasy perspective. San Francisco escaped this matchup relatively healthy, leaving Jennings off the radar as an asset heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

Logs 27 offensive snaps
Jennings caught two of five targets for 19 yards in Thursday's 20-17 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Jennings saw his usual allotment of offensive snaps (46 percent), but was unable to replicate last week's trip to the end zone. The 23-year-old would have finished with three receptions for the third straight game if he didn't drop a pass that hit him right in the hands during a crucial stalled drive in the fourth quarter. Jennings has settled into a low-usage role as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Texans.

Hits pay dirt in victory
Jennings had three receptions (on six targets) for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: The 49ers' No. 3 wideout logged his usual amount of offensive snaps (44 percent), but he was able to use his large frame (6-foot-3) on a quick slant route for a four-yard touchdown to bolster his fantasy day. Jennings has now scored two touchdowns over his last four contests, with both not coincidentally coming in the only two games where he saw red-zone targets. Jimmy Garoppolo may have figured out how to use his tallest rotation wideout closer to the goal line, but sporadic trips to the end…read more

Plays 65 percent of snaps
Jennings corralled three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Jennings saw some extended run in the receiver rotation with Deebo Samuel filling in at running back (8-37-1) for the injured Elijah Mitchell (concussion/knee). This resulted in the 25-year-old experiencing new season highs in receptions, targets, yards and offensive snaps (45) in one fell swoop. Mitchell's status for next Sunday's matchup against Atlanta still is unclear, but Jennings requires at least one of San Francisco's top playmakers to be absent for him to carry any value in deeper…read more

Sticks in No. 3 role
Jennings logged 29 offensive snaps (50 percent) while catching his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Trent Sherfield (two receptions for 16 yards) took over Deebo Samuel's (groin) spot in the starting lineup, which kept Jennings in the slot role for the time being. When Samuel returns -- he could be back as soon as this Sunday -- it will be interesting to see whether Jennings will retain his spot at third on the receiver depth chart, or if Sherfield has permanently leapfrogged him. Either way, the 23-year-old remains nothing more than a potential red-zone target (two touchdowns on eight…read more

Role continues to grow
Jennings had two receptions on three targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Jennings continued to see a gradual increase in usage while serving as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout, experiencing new highs in targets and receiving yardage. The 23-year-old even appeared to catch a second touchdown, but it was reviewed and overturned when the wideout's knee barely grazed the white sideline paint in the end zone. Jennings may continue to see his usage increase with Deebo Samuel's (groin) status unclear for next week's matchup against the Seahawks. It is worth mentioning that fellow…read more

One catch in win
Jennings caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Jennings continued serving as the 49ers' third wideout in place of the injured Mohamed Sanu (knee), logging 33 offensive snaps (48 percent) in a comfortable win. The increased playing time hasn't resulted in a larger role in the passing game, as the 24-year-old has just two receptions for seven yards on three targets in the two games since taking over the slot role. We should expect more of the same from Jennings against the Vikings next Sunday.

Takes over as No. 3 WR
Jennings logged 32 offensive snaps (47 percent) Monday, finishing with one reception (two targets) for three yards in a 31-10 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Mohamed Sanu (knee) was placed on injured reserve this week, so Jennings assumed the veteran's role as the team's third wideout. The 23-year-old only saw two targets despite being on the field for nearly half of the team's offensive snaps, so there isn't much to report here from a fantasy perspective in the 49ers' current configuration.

Scores first career touchdown
Jennings caught both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Jennings ran a levels concept with tight end George Kittle, taking the under route and benefitting from the defense drifting towards his teammate as the wideout took the ball to the house. While this was a big day for the 24-year-old, keep in mind that he logged just six offensive snaps, so he is unlikely to find the end zone very often with the current depth chart configuration.

Off injury report
Jennings (heel) isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Jennings played well in the 49ers' exhibition opener, but an injury suffered in preseason Week 2 could have derailed the receiver's chances of making the 49ers. The 24-year-old ended up a member of the regular-season roster and no longer is on the injury report, so he could see minimal snaps in Sunday's season opener, if active.

Expected to play Sunday
Jennings (heel) participated in Friday's walk-through practice and is expected to play in the preseason finale Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings had a strong showing in the preseason opener, totaling three touches for 49 yards, but he was unable to maintain that momentum as a heel injury sidelined him for Week 2 of preseason. The extra work will be vital for the 24-year-old as he competes for a roster spot with Travis Benjamin and Trent Sherfield.

Practices in limited capacity
Jennings (heel) was limited to side work during Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: jennings appears to be progressing towards being available for the 49ers' final preseason game against the Raiders on Sunday. The 2020 seventh-round pick was forced to miss last week's contest after an impressive performance during Week 1 of the preseason. He spent parts of his rookie season on the practice squad and was vying for a spot on the regular-season roster before his injury.

Sitting with heel injury
Jennings won't play in Sunday's preseason game at the Chargers due to a heel injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A 2020 seventh-round pick of the 49ers, Jennings spent parts of his rookie season on the team's practice squad. After a stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list during training camp this summer, he impressed in preseason Week 1 with three touches for 49 yards from scrimmage on 38 offensive snaps. Now, a different health concern is threatening his availability, which in turn could set him back in his case for a spot on the regular-season roster.

Making case for roster spot
Jennings' strong showing in the preseason opener (three touches for 49 yards) has put him in position to compete for a roster spot, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While Trent Sherfield stole the show with an 80-yard touchdown reception, it was Jennings who was the first backup to enter the game against the Chiefs on Saturday, also finishing with a position-high 38 offensive snaps. The team clearly wanted to get a look at the 24-year-old, and his success on the field puts him in the mix to compete for a backup job behind what looks to be a settled starting trio of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Mohamed Sanu.

Signs with 49ers
Jennings (hamstring) secured a reserve/future contract with San Fransisco on Monday.
Analysis: After spending some time on the practice squad with the 49ers this season, Jennings will land a spot on their offseason roster. The receiver was unable to play again after injuring his hamstring in October and did not see any targets in 2020.

Return to practice not imminent
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (hamstring) isn't expected to practice in the near future, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shanahan added that Jennings nearly ripped his hamstring in October. Despite Shanahan's pessimism in the short term, the head coach was hopeful that Jennings will practice and possibly play in a game by the end of the season. Jennings posted a 59-969-8 line over 13 games in his senior season at Tennessee. He'll remain on the 49ers' practice squad until he's healthy.

Battling hamstring injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Wednesday that Jennings remains on the practice squad injured reserve list with a hamstring injury, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shanahan explained that Jennings would have been called up to the active roster to fill the void at wide receiver if it wasn't for this injury. Jennings will aim to return in about three weeks, and this same opportunity could be available at that time. The rookie seventh-round pick out of Tennessee produced a 59-969-8 line in his final collegiate season.

Dealing with injury
The 49ers placed Jennings (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured reserve list Sunday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Sticks on practice squad
Jennings has been selected to the 49ers' practice squad, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jennings had a poor combine (4.72 40-yard dash) but turned in a strong camp by drawing praise for his polished route running for his 6-foot-3 frame. The 49ers have a young receiving corps that is already dealing with injuries, so the seventh-round draft pick may find himself getting the call at some point this season.
