Leads team with 10 targets
Published: 2025-01-06
Jennings finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 47-24 loss to Arizona.
Jennings took over as the 49ers' No. 1 option with Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale. The 26-year-old had a career year in 2024, setting new highs in receptions (77), yards (975) and touchdowns (six) while primarily filling in for Brandon Aiyuk (knee) mid-season. Jennings will now enter the second year of a two-year contract reconstruction, with the possibility of continuing his elevated role for the 49ers in 2025.
Solid PPR performance

Jennings finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 67 yards in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.
Jennings turned in another routine performance that would have pleased those playing in PPR and deeper fantasy formats. The veteran starter's stats seem dwarfed in a game that featured two 100-yard receivers for San Francisco. Jennings inched closer to his first 1,000-yard campaign Monday, needing just 77 receiving yards against the Cardinals in Week 18 in order to accomplish the feat.
Modest production Sunday
Published: 2024-12-22
Jennings caught four of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Jennings took back seat to San Francisco's remaining star players (Deebo Samuel and George Kittle) to finish with a modest stat line in Sunday's loss. The 27-year-old Jennings upped his season totals to 63-856-6 through 13 games this year. Jennings' expanded role in 2024 has kept his floor high for fantasy managers, and the same could be said for next Monday's tilt against the Lions.
Highly inefficient in loss
Published: 2024-12-12
Jennings secured two of nine targets for 31 yards in the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Just four days after bringing in seven of eight targets against the Bears -- a pair of touchdown grabs among them -- Jennings saw a team-high target total in Thursday's rainy conditions but was highly inefficient. The veteran wideout entered Thursday with a solid 73.1 percent catch rate on the season, and his struggles led to his lowest yardage total since Week 6. Jennings will aim to bounce back against a talented Dolphins secondary in a Week 16 road interconference battle on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Breakout continues two TDs
Published: 2024-12-08
Jennings finished with seven receptions (eight targets) for 90 yards and a pair of scores in Sunday's 38-13 rout over the Bears.
George Kittle led the 49ers in receiving yards (151) Sunday while Jennings took top honors in catches, targets and receiving touchdowns. The 27-year-old wideout continues to excel in a starting role for a San Francisco team that has lost several key players over the course of the season. Jennings is officially having a breakout season with a career-best line of 57-774-6 through 11 contests. He will attempt to build on those numbers in a potential high-scoring affair against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
Leading receiver on three catches
Published: 2024-12-01
Jennings brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.
Jennings wound up finishing as the 49ers' top receiving option on a night where the team totaled just 94 yards through the air. Harsh weather conditions limited what could have been a better game from the veteran receiver, who remains one of the few bright spots on a dwindling 49ers' active roster. Jennings warrants consideration in all formats given his role and an upcoming soft home matchup against Chicago.
Gains 40 yards with backup QB
Published: 2024-11-24
Jennings caught five of seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.
The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, limiting the potential of all skill position players not named George Kittle in a blowout loss to Green Bay. Jennings actually led all wideouts with his modest production, but it still left much to be desired based on his increased production in 2024. The four-year veteran will carry a 47-628-4 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.
Posts WR1 numbers Sunday

Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
Jennings continues to thrive as a starter since being elevated to second on the depth chart coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee). With defenses keying in on Deebo Samuel since his running mate was lost for the year, Jennings has elevated his play to mimic that of the superstar he is filling in for. The window to snag Jennings has likely closed in competitive formats, but managers should continue to ride the hot hand as the 49ers hit the road to face the Packers next Sunday.
Cleared to play
Published: 2024-11-15
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
A mid-week addition to the injury report, Jennings was at least a limited participant in each practice and apparently will be fine for Sunday's game. He led the 49ers in targets (11) and receiving yards (93) during last week's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay, handling 90 percent snap share and 92 percent route share after missing the previous two games with a hip injury.
