The San Francisco 49ers (3-0) will host the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) in Week 4. 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 Jauan Jennings Playing in Week 4?
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday’s game versus the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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 Jauan Jennings in Week 4?
The shoulder/ankle injuries didn’t sound too worrisome coming out of Week 2’s win in New Orleans, but whispers grew into chatter by the weekend and eventually resulted in Janouan Jennings being sidelined against the Cardinals.
I’m no doctor, but this feels like a team being cautious and potentially scared about the recovery process of Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers won their first two games despite a ton of injuries and don’t go on bye until December: Jennings is going to be a valuable member of this team, and with a week to rest and nothing but a break coming in the near future, this looks like a long-term play.
Jennings easily paced San Francisco in receiving yards in Week 2 courtesy of a 26.3% target share. He’s my top-ranked 49er pass catcher this week, but you do need to monitor things with this being a 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff and thus, plenty of replacement options locking well before the 49ers step onto the field this weekend.
