The San Francisco 49ers will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. 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 16?
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 16?
The Jauan Jennings profile isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough.
He has six touchdowns over his past six games and with Ricky Pearsall (knee) back on the injury bus, we are looking at a solid role in a consistent offense.
There’s naturally some risk involved. Jennings is a good player who shares an offense with two great options (George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey). Brock Purdy is as efficient as they come and betting on a Kyle Shanahan offense has proven profitable over the course of time.
Jennings has cleared a 24% target share just three times this season. That would worry me in most systems, but this isn’t “most systems”.
