        Jauan Jennings Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. That's a big improvement over last week, when Jennings got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Jennings said after that loss to the Buccaneers that he's playing through five broken ribs and high- and low-ankle sprains. He seems to be trending in the right direction now, although we'd still like to see him post a strong box score before trusting him in fantasy lineups.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings told reporters after Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers that he's playing through five broken ribs and high- and low-ankle sprains. That would explain his one-catch outing vs. Tampa Bay. We're still waiting for the official snap counts from this one, but Jennings was certainly not a full-time player. And he was clearly not anywhere close to 100%. We'll keep an eye on his practice participation going forward for signs of improving health. But Jennings will be very tough to trust in fantasy lineups until we see his snap rate and production rebound to normal levels. His injuries also make WR Kendrick Bourne a more intriguing fantasy play, even if WR Ricky Pearsall and TE George Kittle return for Week 7.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% for this one. But Jennings boasts exciting target upside with WRs Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle out.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) is expected to play vs. the Buccaneers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jennings is listed as questionable after getting in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so it's fair to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. But there's plenty of target upside with WRs Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle out. Consider Jennings a risk/reward play in Week 6 fantasy lineups -- and check your Team Intel page to see if he belongs in your starting lineup.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. The Niners could certainly use Jennings in this one, with WR Ricky Pearsall, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle all still out. Jennings will boast plenty of target upside if he's able to go. We'll look for further updates on his status but won't get San Francisco's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.

        WR Ricky Pearsall has officially been ruled out for San Francisco's Week 6 trip to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers. Pearsall will miss his second consecutive game with a PCL injury. The 49ers will also be without QB Brock Purdy (toe) and TE George Kittle (hamstring).

        49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend. WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) returned to a limited practice on Thursday, giving him a shot to suit up on Sunday. We'll get another update on both of these guys on Friday afternoon.

        49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan admitted afterward that the team “is not counting” on having Pearsall back this week. It sounds like Jennings has a better chance of playing against the Buccaneers on Sunday, although he's still very uncertain. We'll keep you updated on the situation over the next few days. WR Kendrick Bourne will be a low-end fantasy starter if just one of Pearsall and Jennings play; an upside WR3 if both guys miss.

        49ers WR Kendrick Bourne exploded for 10 catches and 142 yards in Thursday night's overtime win vs. the Rams. His 11 targets tied for the team lead and were a 22.4% share. Bourne consistently created separation on short and intermediate routes and was clearly QB Mac Jones' most trusted WR on a night when Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Brandon Aiyuk were all out. Jones and Bourne played together in New England from 2021 to 2023, and they clearly still have chemistry.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Rams. It doesn't sound like any of their injuries are serious, but the short week did them no favors. We'll see if they can make it back for Week 6. QB Mac Jones makes another start vs. the Rams this week. He played well in Week 2 and 3 starts, completing 66% of his passes at 7.0 yards per attempt with 4 TDs vs. 1 INT. He'll be working with a rag tag group of pass catchers on Thursday night, though. The WR corps figures to be led by Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson, and Skyy Moore, while Jake Tonges again leads the TE room. We'd try not to mess with any of these guys in Week 5 fantasy lineups. RB Christian McCaffrey will be very busy yet again.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) did not practice on Tuesday. "I feel a lot better compared to the Week 1 game," Purdy said. "Toe is just a little sore from the game, but nowhere near as bad as after Seattle (in Week 1)." Purdy did not say whether he expects to play vs. the Rams on Thursday night, though. We'll see if he practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report. WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) also missed Wednesday's practice.

        After missing 2 games, Brock Purdy returned to action, throwing for 309 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs in San Francisco's 26-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also had 13 rushing yards on 2 carries.

        Turnovers ultimately unraveled the Niners. In addition to a pair of interceptions, Purdy lost one of the two fumbles that the Jaguars recovered.

        49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) are active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Jennings is “likely” to be limited, so we’d try to leave him on fantasy benches. Pearsall carries elevated risk with the knee issue but still checks in as a top-24 WR in the Week 4 rankings. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a healthy scratch with WR Demarcus Robinson making his 2025 debut.

        ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (shoulder, ankle) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today but is "likely to be limited." Jennings got in just one limited practice this week and is listed as questionable after missing Week 3. Barring a more positive report on his status for this one, Jennings is better off on fantasy benches.

        49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) are listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Pearsall got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and seems like the better bet to play. Jennings got in just a limited practice on Friday after missing Week 3 with these injuries. Hopefully we get updates on these guys on Sunday morning. We won't get San Francisco's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET.

        49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) remained sidelined on Thursday and is in danger of missing his second straight game.

        49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Pearsall appeared to bang his knee on a 4th-and-2 catch in last week's win over the Cardinals but was able to finish out the game. "Hopefully he'll get better later in the week," HC Kyle Shanahan said. Jennings missed Week 3 and remains uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Check back tomorrow for an update on both guys.

        49ers WR Ricky Pearsall exploded with eight catches for 117 yards against the Arizona Cardinals, taking advantage of WR Jauan Jennings missing the game. QB Mac Jones relied on Pearsall as a reliable short-range target while the offense schemed up a few touches as well.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Ricky Pearsall will operate as the clear No. 1 WR and is a strong fantasy start.

        49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) will not play vs. the Cardinals this afternoon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. So San Francisco will be without Jennings, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle. Expect RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Ricky Pearsall to be the focal points of the offense. It'll be WRs Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Russell Gage, and Skyy Moore behind Pearsall.
