Jauan Jennings's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will face the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday. The former Tennessee Volunteer disappointed last Thursday despite a team-high nine targets. The opportunities only translated to two receptions for 31 yards. In fairness, an offensively sluggish, rain-soaked first half didn't help. Weather isn't expected to be a factor this week in Miami, but the Dolphins' pass defense offers its own challenge. Miami is ranked second-best in the NFL at limiting wide receiver fantasy half-PPR points. Still, Jennings is firmly entrenched as quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite option, as one would have to go back to Week 6 to find another 49er surpassing an active Jennings in targets. Despite the tough matchup, Jennings should rebound with a useful fantasy line as a solid WR2.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught just two of his nine targets against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, finishing Week 15 with 31 yards through the air. He managed to lead the team in targets while finishing second to George Kittle in receiving yards. Thursday's loss to the Rams was a rough showing for the Niners, who mustered just two field goals and zero touchdowns on primetime television. That led to a rare dud game from Jennings, who had not previously recorded fewer than nine fantasy points (PPR) since taking over as the de facto No. 1 wide receiver following Brandon Aiyuk's season-ending knee injury. Despite Thursday's frustrating performance, Jennings appears to still be the 49ers' No. 1 wide receiver as he continues to get more looks in the passing game than Deebo Samuel Sr. However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution ahead of next week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2024.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will line up against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in Santa Clara. The former Tennessee Volunteer is coming off his second-best fantasy performance of the year, having caught seven of eight targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns at home against Chicago. The Rams are a good matchup for Jennings on paper, as they are tied with Cleveland as the seventh-most generous defense for fantasy wideout production. As the fantasy playoffs begin, Jennings is the overall WR14 in half-PPR scoring, including the games before Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was injured. Jennings should be considered a WR2 with a solid target floor in Week 15.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings did his part to secure an important 38-13 home win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 27-year-old once again led the team in targets with eight, which he converted into seven receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Jennings had struggled to get much going the past couple of weeks following a 10-catch performance in Week 11 versus Seattle but rewarded those who stuck with him in a tough matchup on paper. Both touchdowns came on first-half crossing routes against a surprisingly baffled Chicago zone defense. Jennings' managers should feel comfortable firing him up again for a Week 15 Thursday night divisional clash with the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings faces a tough matchup in Week 14 when the team hosts the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Given the snowy conditions in Buffalo last week, Jennings did a commendable job, tying for the team lead in targets with five, and posting 56 of the 49ers' anemic 94 yards passing. Things are rough in San Francisco's offense right now, with an injury-riddled backfield and offensive line, which will continue to slightly dampen Jennings' prospects against Chicago. The main reason for pessimism, however, is the Bears' elite pass defense, which is fourth-best in the NFL at limiting half-PPR performances to fantasy wide receivers. In addition, the Bears run Cover-3 at the second-highest rate in the NFL and Jennings loses almost a full yard per route run against Cover-3. Consider Jennings a high-end WR3/FLEX at best in Week 14.
