The San Francisco 49ers will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Jauan Jennings.
Is Jennings Playing in Week 10?
Jennings is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jennings in Week 10?
Among all 49ers not named Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings was the team leader in receptions, targets, receiving yards, and caught the only touchdown pass.
The problem is two-fold. First, is that, despite checking all of those boxes, he came up short of 15 PPR points.
Second, is that such a role is far from a lock moving forward. George Kittle caught all of his targets and figures to be more involved as this season wears on and the complementary receivers are eventually going to return.
Oh, and McCaffrey is always going to soak up targets in bulk, lowering the floor in a major way for all other pieces.
The touchdown was a work of art last week, a quick/accurate read to beat press coverage and a perfectly timed dive for the pylon to score on the third-down play. Jennings can play, I’m just not sold that the quantity or quality of targets is there in a big way as we near the winter months.
If we are to assume that he remains the clear WR1 in this offense for another week, you can get away with flexing him. If that’s the short-term plan, I’d want to make sure to build up my depth for the stretch run: I doubt he’s going to be a player you can rely on starting for the remainder of the season.
