Jauan Jennings Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 30th 2025, 1:16pm EDT

Jauan Jennings has developed into a useful pass catcher in the middle part of his career. But I'm mildly skeptical of last season's age-27 breakout, which was partly fueled by the absences of fellow WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall for large parts of the season. And it's not as if it was a massive eruption for Jennings. He was tied for WR26 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game among WRs who played at least eight games. After never averaging better than 1.38 yards per route run in his first three NFL seasons, Jennings jumped to 2.26 yards per route run in 2024. I'm buying the improvement. I'm just not buying Jennings as a comfortable every-week fantasy starter -- which you need him to be at a sixth- or seventh-round ADP. Pearsall came on strong down the stretch last season. Aiyuk is on his way back from last year's season-ending knee injury. George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are going to draw ample targets. It's just hard to see Jennings taking it up another notch with all that target competition.
