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

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jennings missed his first game of the year in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is now trending toward missing a second straight game this Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys unless he's able to practice on Friday. It's bad timing for the 49ers, with Brandon Aiyuk suffering a season-ending knee injury last Sunday. The 27-year-old Jennings was a popular addition off the waiver wire this week in fantasy managers despite his injury, as he'll have added opportunities the rest of the year as the WR2 in San Fran behind Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness). If Jennings misses another game in Week 8, both rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing could start in three-wide sets if Samuel is cleared to play.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. Jennings missed the 49ers' Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs already. The 49ers are hopeful that they can get him back in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers are thin at wide receiver. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is done for the year and Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) is questionable for this week. Jennings has proven he can be an excellent fill-in. With Samuel out in Week 3, Jennings caught 11 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns. He projects to be the 49ers' No. 2 wide receiver moving forward. While it is still early in the week, it is never too soon to look at who may be affected by Jennings' absence. Rookie wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing would undoubtedly see more opportunities in the absence of Jennings. For now, keep a close eye on Jennings' status as we approach the weekend.

Per head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers hope to get wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) back for their Week 8 home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. San Fran had a rough go on Sunday in their 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing wideouts Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) in the first half. While Samuel was sick coming into this one, he'll have a good chance of being able to suit up next Sunday so long as the illness does not linger. Aiyuk, on the other hand, is feared to have suffered a torn ACL via initial reports. It isn't yet confirmed, but he'd be a long shot to suit up in Week 8 regardless. With the 49ers wide receiver corps suddenly depleted, Jacob Cowing, Ricky Pearsall, Chris Conley, and Ronnie Bell are the only active wideouts without a designation.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hip injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Jennings was unable to practice at all this week and could also be in danger of missing next week's contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist) will operate as the team's top two receivers, as usual, but with Jennings sidelined, look for rookies Ricky Pearsall (chest) and Jacob Cowing, Chris Conley and Ronnie Bell to battle it out for the WR3 role as the Niners look for revenge against KC in a Super Bowl rematch. None of those names are worth risking in a flex spot in fantasy lineups this weekend. If anything, Jenning's absence will raise the ceiling and floor of Aiyuk, Samuel and tight end George Kittle. In deep leagues or DFS, Conley might be the best flex gamble.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) was a non-participant in practice on Thursday. The 27-year-old is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, which could clear the way for Ricky Pearsall to operate as the Niners' No. 3 wide receiver in his potential NFL debut. Jennings has come back down to earth ever since his absurd showing in Week 3; since then, he's averaging 2.3 catches and 42.7 receiving yards without finding the end zone. Friday's injury report will provide some additional clarity on Jennings' status for this weekend against Kansas City.
