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. The upstart receiver will now enter the second year of a two-year…read more

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.

Breakout continues with two TDs
Jennings finished with seven receptions (on eight targets) for 90 yards and a pair of scores in Sunday's 38-13 rout over the Bears.
Analysis: George Kittle led the 49ers in receiving yards (151) Sunday while Jennings took top honors in catches, targets and receiving touchdowns. The 27-year-old wideout continues to excel in a starting role for a San Francisco team that has lost several key players over the course of the season. Jennings is having a breakout season with a career-best line of 57-774-6 through 11 contests. He will attempt to build on those numbers in a potential high-scoring affair against the Rams on Thursday Night…read more

Leading receiver on three catches
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.

Posts WR1 numbers Sunday
Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Jennings continues to thrive as a starter since being elevated to second on the depth chart coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee). With defenses keying in on Deebo Samuel since his running mate was lost for the year, Jennings has elevated his play to mimic that of the superstar he is filling in for. The window to snag Jennings has likely closed in competitive formats, but managers…read more

Cleared to play
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: A mid-week addition to the injury report, Jennings was at least a limited participant in each practice and apparently will be fine for Sunday's game. He led the 49ers in targets (11) and receiving yards (93) during last week's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay, handling 90 percent snap share and 92 percent route share after missing the previous two games with a hip injury.

Tending to ankle injury
Jennings was limited at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Midweek additions to injury reports occasionally mean that health concerns were sustained in practice. It's unclear if this is the case for Jennings, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely to get a sense of his chances to suit up Sunday.

Leading receiver Sunday
Jennings (hip) finished with seven receptions (11 targets) for 93 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Jennings returned from a two-game absence (three weeks including the bye) and wound up leading the 49ers in receiving yards. The veteran slot man was also elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury, which occurred in the same contest Jennings suffered his hip injury. With good health and a larger role on offense, Jennings is looking like a hot pickup in fantasy for the second time this campaign. The 26-year-old can be considered a strong flex…read more

Cleared to return this week
Jennings (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jennings will return from a two-game absence after upgrading to full practice participation at the end of the week. Meanwhile, Deebo Samuel (oblique/rib) is listed as questionable and Chris Conley (hamstring) ruled out, potentially giving Jennings a bigger role in the gameplan, although Samuel seems to be on track to play.

Remains limited in practice
Jennings (hip) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
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.

Limited Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (hip) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a hip injury, missing two contests as a result. With the benefit of a Week 9 bye, he's now ramping up his activity level in advance of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. If he's able to return to action this weekend, Jennings likely will serve as one of the 49ers' starting wide receivers alongside Deebo Samuel (oblique/ribs) due to Brandon Aiyuk (knee) being out for the season due to ACL and MCL tears.

Expected back after bye
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (hip) is expected to return following San Francisco's Week 9 bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings missed Weeks 7 and 8 with the hip issue, and the team could really use him with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the season, Chris Conley (hamstring) week-to-week and Deebo Samuel coming off pneumonia and now dealing with oblique and rib strains. Once he's back, Jennings is expected to take on a full-time role for the remainder of the season.

Missing second straight game
Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jennings will be sidelined for a second game in a row after he continued to miss practice time this week while tending to a hip injury. With a bye on tap Week 9 to provide him with additional healing time, Jennings should have a good chance at being ready to go when the 49ers return to action Sunday, Nov. 10 at Tampa Bay, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks with the hip when he eventually returns to practice. Once he's healthy, Jennings should be in store for a regular starting role for…read more

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.

Jennings may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Chiefs, with Friday's injury report potentially providing some clarity on the situation ahead of the weekend.

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.

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

Analysis: With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt following the ankle injury that he sustained in the season opener against the Jets, Jennings has only one more chance to get back to full before potentially heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Minnesota. Assuming he's active Week 2, he'll continue to serve as the 49ers' No. 3 WR behind starters Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

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

Analysis: Jennings played 35 of the 49ers' 72 offensive snaps in the victory, recording five receptions for 64 yards on five targets. 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. Though Jennings was able to finish out the game, the receiver still looks to be less than 100 percent, so his practice activity could be…read more

Analysis: Jennings was limited in San Francisco's first two practices of the week due to an ankle issue but appears to be good to go for the team's regular-season opener Monday after practicing in full Saturday. 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

Analysis: Jennings continues to manage an oblique injury he's dealt with since mid-August. With Ricky Pearsall (chest/shoulder) to miss at least the first four games of the year while on the reserve/non-football injury list, Jennings has an opportunity to work as the clear No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, health permitting.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Jennings has an ankle injury but is expected back soon, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings worked off to the side at Friday's practice. It doesn't sound like a serious issue for the veteran wideout. 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. Jennings' biggest competition for playing time in 2024 will be first-round rookie Ricky Pearsall.

Jennings and the 49ers agreed Wednesday on a two-year deal worth up to $15.4 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Niners gave Jennings a second-round restricted free agent tender in March. 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. Both parties were able to avoid that situation with this new deal, which is akin to a one-year extension that keeps him with San Francisco through the 2025 season. Jennings will be back to fill the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon…read more

Gets second-round tender
The Niners gave Jennings a second-round restricted free agent tender Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: This gives the Niners the right to match any offer Jennings receives from another team, with a second-round pick coming back in return if they decline. No team is going to give up a pick that early for the right to hand Jennings a considerable contract, meaning a trade is now the only way he'd end up on a new team for 2024. While he hasn't seen many targets as the No. 3 receiver in a loaded offense, Jennings had Super Bowl MVP hype at one point in the big game when it looked like the Niners…read more

One reception in NFC Championship
Jennings (head) caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 34-31 NFC Championship Game win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jennings had to leave the contest briefly to be examined for a concussion, but he was eventually cleared to return and finished with 22 snaps on offense. The physical wideout even got into an altercation with a Detroit defensive back at one point, but he appears to have escaped the game no worse for wear. Jennings left most of the playmaking to his superstar teammates Sunday, resulting in a forgettable fantasy day when compared to the 5-61-0 fantasy line he netted in the divisional-round win…read more

Jennings is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions due to a head injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Jennings delayed the game in the second quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion. Ray-Ray McCloud will be asked to step up if Jennings is unable to return. Jennings was not targeted prior to his exit.

Elevated role after Samuel exit
Jennings brought in five of six targets for 61 yards in the 49ers' 24-21 divisional-round win over the Packers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Jennings, who'd missed the last three regular-season games due to a concussion, ended up as the surprise leader in receptions on the night for the 49ers. Naturally, Deebo Samuel's exit from the game in the first half due to a shoulder injury played a significant role in Jennings' unexpected production, and the fourth-year pro could certainly continue to see expanded opportunity in an NFC Championship Game matchup against either the Buccaneers or Lions on Sunday, Jan. 28 if Samuel remains…read more

Healthy heading into playoffs
Jennings has been cleared from concussion protocol, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Jennings was unavailable for the 49ers' last three regular season games while nursing a concussion, but he now appears to be ready to go for the postseason. The wide receiver will have an opportunity to get back into the swing of things during the team's wild-card round bye week before they host their upcoming opponent in the divisional round next weekend.

Won't return in Week 18
The 49ers have downgraded Jennings (concussion) to out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Jennings showed some progress in his quest through the concussion protocol this week, logging three consecutive limited sessions before the 49ers gave him a questionable tag for Week 18. Saturday's development indicates that he wasn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist and thus will miss his third game in a row. With Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk candidates to see limited work Sunday, the likes of Ray-Ray McCloud (ribs, questionable), Chris Conley and Ronnie Bell may end up…read more

Draws questionable tag
Jennings (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the 49ers' last two games while recovering from a concussion, Jennings was able to take the field for practices this week, albeit as a limited participant. According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings still has one more stage of the five-step concussion protocol to clear, but if he's able to get the green light from an independent neurologist Saturday, he could be able to make his return to the lineup a day later in the 49ers' regular-season finale.

Jennings (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While he maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session, Jennings was seen working without a blue non-contact jersey, per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area, which may be a sign that the wide receiver has nearly made his way through the concussion protocol.

Analysis: Jennings has missed the past two games while making his way through the concussion protocol. With his first on-field work since suffering the injury on the horizon, he's putting himself in a position to return to action Sunday against the Rams. So far, Shanahan has ruled out quarterback Brock Purdy (coach's decision) and running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) for the regular-season finale, but no other skill-position players have been deemed unavailable.

Jennings (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings remains sidelined from any sort of on-field work as he recovers from the concussion that he sustained Week 15 in Arizona. As a result, he appears to be trending toward a second absence in a row Sunday at Washington, which could be confirmed as soon as the 49ers post their final Week 17 injury report Friday.

Sitting out Wednesday's practice
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Jennings has yet to take part in drills since sustaining a concussion during the 49ers' Week 15 win at Arizona. After Jennings was ruled out ahead of Monday's 33-19 loss to the Ravens, Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that the wide receiver "has made steps" through the five-step concussion protocol. Having said that, it hasn't translated to Jennings being able to get in work on the practice field.

Has progressed in concussion protocol
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Jennings, who won't play Monday against the Ravens, "has made steps" through the concussion protocol, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings came out of last Sunday's victory at Arizona with a concussion, and he wasn't able to practice at all during Week 16 prep, per Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site. Shanahan's comments indicate Jennings may be on the cusp of mixing into drills again, but he'll cede his typical WR reps to Ronnie Bell and Chris Conley behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on Monday.

Analysis: Jennings made no notable progress through the protocol for head injuries this week after being diagnosed with a concussion following last Sunday's win at Arizona.

Sits out practice again Friday
Jennings (concussion) did not practice Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Jennings remains in concussion protocol, casting doubt about his ability to be cleared ahead of Monday's Week 16 contest versus Baltimore. The third-year wideout consistently logs at least one-third of San Francisco's offensive snaps, though he has just seven catches on 12 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown over the team's past six games. If Jennings can't suit up Monday, Ronnie Bell could be in line for extended opportunities on offense.

No practice Thursday
Jennings (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Jennings entered the protocol for head injuries after this past Sunday's win at Arizona.

In concussion protocol
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings is in the concussion protocol, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Jennings logged a typical 41 percent snap share Sunday at Arizona on his way to two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards. In the wake of the contest, though, he'll now be subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to be cleared for game action. Jennings' activity level as the 49ers prep for a Week 16 matchup with the Ravens on Monday, Dec. 25 could be telling for his potential to play.

Logs 23 snaps on offense
Jennings had two receptions on as many targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 45-29 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Jennings got involved offensively against the Cardinals after laying a goose egg against another division foe in Week 14. The 26-year-old has only garnered more than four targets just once this season. Jennings' small role leaves him with little fantasy value ahead of next Monday's tilt against the Ravens.

No catches against SEA
Jennings failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 28-16 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Jennings followed up his best fantasy line of the season (3-44-1) with a bagel against the Seahawks. San Francisco unleashed all four of its offensive stars against the divisional foe Sunday, leaving little work for a role player such as Jennings. The 49ers' slot man has been an afterthought in both games against Seattle this season, generating just one reception for seven yards across both contests.

Hauls in first TD of 2023
Jennings had three receptions on four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Jennings finally got into the scoring column in 2023 after taking a short pass from Brock Purdy early in the fourth quarter and following a convoy of blockers to the end zone early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers' slot receiver was on the field for 29 snaps (49 percent), which wasn't far off from his season average, but Jennings' playing time doesn't tend to correlate with his targets -- in Week 8 against Cincinnati, the wideout did not receive a target despite playing 84 percent of the…read more

Logs 24 snaps on offense
Jennings finished with one reception for seven yards while being targeted twice in Thursday's 31-13 win over Seattle.
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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Disappoints in start
Jennings had two receptions (three targets) for 21 yards in Saturday's 37-20 win over Washington.
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.

Scores first TD of 2022
Jennings caught six of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Jennings scored his first touchdown of the 2022 campaign in unusual fashion Sunday. Jimmy Garoppolo was targeting his tallest wideout in the back corner of the end zone, but Tyrann Mathieu deflected the ball and Jennings was there to catch it as he was falling from his initial leaping attempt. The end result was a strong fantasy line from the 49ers' No. 3 receiver, who was coming off of a catch-less outing against the Cardinals in Week 11. Jennings played his usual allotment of offensive snaps…read more

Fails to record a catch
Jennings was unable to pull in either of his two targets in Monday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.
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. Jennings isn't much of a fantasy option in his limited role on offense, but he should produce better numbers than Monday's dud when the 49ers take on the Saints on Sunday.

Gains 40 yards in return
Jennings (hamstring) caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
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). Jennings still doesn't provide enough volume in his current role to warrant fantasy consideration against the Cardinals next Monday.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Jennings (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings was absent Week 8 due to a hamstring issue, then rested up during the 49ers' Week 9 bye before returning to full on-field work to kick off Week 10 prep. 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. In seven appearances this season, Jennings has put together a 14-180-0 receiving line on 24 targets while working behind Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

Takes seat in Week 8
Jennings (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
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 will use a Week 9 bye to heal up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 13 against the Chargers.

Deemed questionable for Week 8
The 49ers list Jennings (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jennings didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday or Thursday, but the fact that he'll take a questionable tag into the weekend rather than being ruled out for Sunday's contest suggests that he may have demonstrated progress on some level at Friday's practice. If Jennings is able to overcome his hamstring injury and suit up Sunday, he'll be one of several 49ers pass catchers who will be tasked with replacing some of the vacated target volume that would have gone to No. 1 wideout Deebo Samuel…read more

Jennings (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jennings was listed the same way Wednesday, but he at least was seen running on a side field in a helmet and uniform Thursday, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 49ers' No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) also hasn't practiced this week, so the team's situation at the position bears watching to see if either player may suit up Sunday at the Rams.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Jennings didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) also missed practice, leaving Brandon Aiyuk and Ray-Ray McCloud as San Francisco's top healthy wide receivers at the moment. Jennings has caught two or fewer passes in every game since Week 1, but he could see a bit more work if he plays and Samuel sits out Sunday's game against the Rams.

Garners three targets in loss
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. That said, Jennings could see an extra target or two next Sunday if San Francisco is forced to play from behind against a high-powered Chiefs offense.

Looks explosive on two snags
Jennings (ankle) hauled in both of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Jennings entered the game with a banged-up ankle but he showed no ill effects on two impressive catches, as he out-muscled the smaller DBs covering him. The 6-foot-3 wideout continues to show improvements as a receiver despite a low target share (3.4 per game). The stats are not there for fantasy utility, but Jennings could be a name to watch should either Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk miss time this season. As things stand, Jennings will continue to operate as San Francisco's No. 3 wideout…read more

All set to play
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Analysis: Jennings figures to occupy his usual role as the No. 3 receiver, following three straight weeks playing less than half the snaps. He saw six targets in the season opener when the Niners fell behind in Chicago, but Jennings has been targeted only nine times in three subsequent games and has caught just four of those for 31 yards.

He'll have one last chance to jump up to all activity Friday, at which point the 49ers may give Jennings a designation for Sunday's game in Carolina. Operating as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver this season, he's gathered in eight of 15 targets for 93 yards and no touchdowns in four appearances.

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. If he's sidelined this weekend, Ray-Ray McCloud would presumably be first in line to join Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk in three-receiver formations.

Analysis: Jennings logged 26 offensive snaps (46 percent) in his usual role as the 49ers' third wideout on the depth chart. The 25-year-old did convert the team's lone third-down conversion late in the fourth quarter, but it was an otherwise forgettable night from a fantasy perspective.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This resulted in the 25-year-old experiencing new season highs in receptions, targets, yards and offensive snaps (45) in one fell swoop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
