Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Jauan Jennings Play Week 6?
Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) questionable to play Sunday
Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
Jennings missed last week’s game due to a pair of injuries, and he is officially considered questionable to play in Week 6 for the same reason. The team has already ruled out Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brock Purdy (toe) for this game, so if Jennings is cleared to play, he should serve as the team’s clear WR1 catching passes from backup Mac Jones (knee/oblique).

What the Experts Are Saying
Jauan Jennings has been listed as questionable this week (ankle/ribs). He didn’t practice on Wednesday, but he was a limited participant in practice on Thursday & Friday. In his three games played this season, Jennings has one top-24 weekly finish (WR11) while seeing one deep target and four red zone targets. This season, Jennings has a 16.1% target share, 43 receiving yards per game (1.48 yards per route run), and a 24.6% first-read share. Since Week 4, Tampa Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (63.1%). This season against two-high, Jennings has only a 14% target per route run rate, 1.18 yards per route run, and a 15.4% first-read share. Last year, against two high, Jennings crushed with a team-leading 21.3% target share with 2.55 yards per route run and a 29.3% first-read share (led the team). Jennings should lead the way for the 49ers through the air this week against a secondary that has allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and ranks 15th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers.
