Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Jauan Jennings Play Week 2?

Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran wideout suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 and will be questionable to play in Week 2 as a result. Starting QB Brock Purdy (shoulder/toe) has been ruled out for the 49ers, so either way, fantasy managers shouldn’t be looking to start the Jennings in this matchup.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran wideout is unlikely to play in Week 2. He’s dealing with a moderately serious shoulder injury right now and has not been able to practice at all so far this week. His potential absence would lead to more work for Ricky Pearsall and Marquez Valdes-Scantling against the Saints.

What the Experts Are Saying About Jauan Jennings

Jauan Jennings is dealing with a shoulder injury and has been listed as questionable for Week 2. He logged DNPs for Wednesday and Thursday before managing a limited practice on Friday. Last year, in Weeks 10-18, without Brandon Aiyuk, as a full-time player, he had a 25.1% target share, averaged 63.4 receiving yards per game, produced 2.23 yards per route run with a 32.7% first-read share, and 0.113 first downs per route run. In Week 1, the Saints utilized single high at the 12th-highest rate (59.5%). Last season, in Weeks 10-18, Jennings had a 30% target per route run rate, 2.53 yards per route run, and a 33.9% first-read share against single high. Jennings is a solid flex this week, even with Mac Jones starting. In Week 1, New Orleans allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
