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 (hip) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that WR Ricky Pearsall will make his debut this weekend, but we can't imagine he'll play a big role after missing most of training camp and then getting shot in late August. Jennings' absence is a slight boost to WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Jennings' absence would mean slight target projection boosts for WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. We'll update Jennings' status again tomorrow.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel returned from a calf injury to record 3 catches for 58 yards against New England. He added two carries and didn’t have his routes or snaps limited.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. It's a slight surprise after HC Kyle Shanahan said previously that Samuel was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Samuel got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, though, and will evidently suit up today. There's always some risk of an in-game aggravation of soft-tissue injuries, but unless we get a report of Samuel being limited today, he belongs in most fantasy lineups. His return -- along with TE George Kittle's -- makes Week 3 breakout Jauan Jennings tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should put him on track to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, but we'll see how Kittle progresses over the next few days. Kittle's return would dent WR Jauan Jennings' upside, although he'll still be in play as a WR3 as long as Deebo Samuel remains out.

We knew 49ers WR Jauan Jennings would step into a larger role in Week 3. The 49ers entered the game without Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But Jennings turned in an unbelivable showing with 11 catches, 175 yards, and 3 TDs.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams, as expected. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Samuel is expected to miss a couple of games. His absence leaves WR Jauan Jennings as San Francisco's No. 2 WR. He's in play as a WR4 for fantasy owners in a bind this week.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss "a couple of weeks" with a calf injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Kyle Shanahan said.

The 49ers announced that WR Ricky Pearsall has been released from the hospital on Sunday, a day after being shot in the chest in an attempted robbery. Pearsall's mother posted on social media that the bullet did not hit any of his vital organs before exiting out his back.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel will have further testing on his injured left shoulder on Sunday, ESPN reports. The team is reportedly hoping that Samuel didn't suffer the same hairline fracture injury that he did in a Week 6 loss to the Browns. That cost him the next two games. Samuel was able to return following San Francisco's Week 9 bye. "I don't know yet," HC Kyle Shanahan said after the win over the Packers. "I mean he tried to come back [but] couldn't do it. I know he did something similar versus Cleveland." We should get an update on Samuel within the next 24 hours. WR Jauan Jennings stepped up for five catches and 61 yards vs. Green Bay and would be in for an expanded role if Samuel misses the NFC Championship.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. We’ll see if he’s ready to return after San Francisco’s Week 9 bye. Jauan Jennings should operate as the 49ers’ No. 2 WR again this weekend but would be a desperation fantasy play.

HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters Saturday that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss at least two games with a hairline fracture in his injured shoulder. The team's bye follows that. We'll see whether he's ready to return for Week 10. Samuel's absence these next two weeks should help the target counts for WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle. Jauan Jennings stands next in line among WRs and could sneak into some deep value.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) is not listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Thursday that Samuel will be "less than 100%" for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but it at least looks like he’s in better shape than he was last week. See where Samuel sits in the Week 5 WR Rankings. WR Jauan Jennings (shin) is also off the Week 5 injury report and will be back for Sunday night’s game.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He didn't practice all week and said Friday that the knee is a bigger issue than the ribs. There’s obvious risk with Samuel today, although we haven’t heard anything about his snaps being limited. WR Jauan Jennings (shin) is inactive.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He didn't practice all week. Samuel said Friday that the knee is a bigger issue than the ribs, adding, "I feel pretty good... We'll just see how I continue to progress for the next couple of days and then we'll just see what happens." 49ers-Cardinals doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET on Sunday, but hopefully we'll get an update on Deebo that morning. WR Jauan Jennings (shin) is listed as doubtful for Week 4.
