Flowers as my drafted WR 3 has carried my team for the last 6 weeks and I’m benching him for Jennings. Love this guy.

WR Jauan Jennings, SF (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
What’s your other options?
Thanks for asking.
I have Deebo in all the lineups.
One league I boiled down the last spot to Swift or Tyreek. Jennings not in my picture.
Jennings for David Montgomery for last spot in a second league. Staying with that now.
After reading this I moved him into two lineups, for now.
One over Brian Thomas and the other over Jake Ferguson in 1.5 TEP.
I agree with all that personally

Same.
I have JJ, Kupp, Deebo, Jennings, Cedric Tillman, Brock Bowers (no TE slot league) And Jaylen Waddle who might have a big game left but it won't be in my lineup).
Can start 4.
I lost last week because I was too scared to start Deebo and Jennings.
Got Jennings in Week 2 as Deebo insurance.
I refuse to bench Tillman this week. Love him, especially in a Jameis revenge game.
There's a chance I start Jennings over Deebo. Which feels insane, but I know it's not really.

BTW, if Jennings out produces Deebo this week, props to Bloom.
As far as I've seen, he's the only ranker I've seen anywhere on the interwebs with Jennings over Deebo. And he has it by wide margin.

Boat I am in. It’s 0.5 PPR and TE +1.0 PPR
1-3 RB/2-5 WR/1-3TE
Played McLaurin (Thursday)
Still in lineup - AJones, Kamara, Walker, Kupp, JReed & Bowers
Who do I remove for JJennings?
And Kittle out make it more worthwhile

Well, I pulled the trigger ...Starting Jauan Jennings SF WR vs Seattle #21 worst WR Scoring allowed
Sitting J Reed vs #3 Chi Pass Def
--> I can see a run heavy Josh Jacobs & GB Def day being the game plan.

Kittle being out likely has me putting JJ in over Ridley.

Why oh why did I start Ridley over Jennings today?

Talk about a super late bloomer as a WR.....

For him to get that target volume with Deebo there speaks volumes. He is a huge target that keeps winning on his routes. I wonder what his 1st read stats say? He is probably the 1st read on a high % of routes and that usually means fantasy gold for accurate QB's.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
He came into the game with a 23.8% first-read share on the season. I imagine that went up.
Drunken Cowboy

I think he is why they were open to trading.
BladeRunner

I don't have a choice - too many of my other players are on bye.
pollardsvision
Footballguy
He's out, and really no choice.
Deebo is the pivot option. Or Waddle. Or pick Pittman back up after I just dropped him.
Who knows how it goes, but I would imagine Jennings could still be fine. He's been the 1st read because he gets open. You'd expect they'd run it more, but CMC and Deebo don't seem fully healthy.
I'm sure they'll lean on Kittle more, but Jennings has shown that when they need 7-8 yards, he's the guy that can get open and make the play. I could see Shanny telling Allen to get it to that guy.
Or it could all go to hell. Who knows.
Gjallarhorn

I thought I read/heard some stat about him having a bunch of catches last week when he wasn’t deemed “open”? Did I dream that?

Week 12 is the worst BYE for me - I’m rolling out Jennings and Deebo.Brock Purdy is officially OUT; Brandon Allen will start against the Packers

Hoping we get some vintage Deebo runs, & that Allen is checkdown Charlie - Jennings & Deebo could be PPR gold.
Or GB will curbstomp the 49ers completely.
Don’t really see anything in between.

WTH happened last night? Oy. Could not have picked the worst week to soil the bed. Was considering benching him for Tony Pollard but kept him in my lineup anyways.
The only thing that's saving my bacon right now is that my opponent started Cooper Kupp.

Not sure. Weather? Looked to be a steady rain most of the night. Both Purdy and Stafford had a lousy game.
BladeRunner
Footballguy
2nd half weather looked much better. Stafford even recovered a bit in the 2nd half. Purdy was awful the entire game.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I agree with that assessment.
Dizzy
Footballguy
Both teams caught off guard by the weather. Light rain was supposed to stop just before kickoff, and it did. And then just after kickoff it rained steady to hard for the entire first half. Equipment managers on both sides scrambling to get extra cleats ready and getting those mats to clean off the cleats. 1st half was a total wipeout for the passing games.
2nd half opened up a bit as the rain stopped, but some didn't recover - Brock Purdy and Kupp (notably) looked really bad.
Short week + terrible weather sank that game before it ever got going.
Zow

He had at least one big drop as well (albeit in some traffic). Just a bad game script/weather/short week combo.
Yep. He was quietly really good last season. If Aiyuk can’t go at the start of the season or is limited, he’d be the one I was targeting. Pearsall will get steamed up, but I’ll take Jennings later.
rockaction
Footballguy
He might have been forced back to the bench if Aiyuk comes back early (I think it'll take Aiyuk a lot of time) considering the draft capital they have in Pearsall. Now with Deebo not there, it's Pearsall and Jennings in two and three WR sets until Aiyuk gets fully up to speed. Even then, Jennings benefits by having time to establish himself (again) and being the guy in three WR sets.
I'm just less certain it's Jennings would be the one forced back to the bench.
Pearsall played well at the end of the year for sure but Jennings played really well all year in his own right most of the year, some really good stuff. Perhaps it the play of both of them that has them picking up the phone when teams call on Aiyuk?
Understand Pearsall was a late round one, that's decent draft capital for sure but they extended Jennings and he’s only 3 years older then Pearsall. I'd view Pearsall as the favorite if/when it comes down to the two of them, just think Jennings has more of a shot then some are given him credit.

Pearsall was shot in the chest during preseason, lucky to be alive, really couldn't expect him to do anything until late in the season and he showed some real flashes of a WR2 for SF
Still think Jennings will have a handful of big games and you will never know when that comes
Pearsall will be a much more consistent 4/64, 5/80 and a TD every so often, Jennings will have 150/TD and then go radio silent for a month.
At least that's what the early March tea leaves are showing

Value this season?

I am not confident Aiyuk returns to form until later in the year. I think Kittle is the main beneficiary but Jennings should see a decent amount of opportunities depending how Pearsall has progressed.

I don't think that's gonna be the case with Deebo gone and Aiyuk not looking like he's gonna be active anytime soon. Until I see Aiyuk healthy, I see Jennings eating lots of targets and having a solid floor to go with that ceiling in 2025. And Pearsall will be in that consistent range you mention but I don't see Jennings disappearing anymore. A lot of people seem to be bumping Kittle as well which probably makes some sense too. CMC says he has no restrictions and I'm skeptical of that as well but if he is even 75% the CMC we have known then there should be a little extra TD upside for Jennings beyond what he already has, because the offense as a whole will be dangerous.
In redraft he seems to be going around 7th roundish and I think that is a screaming value. Pearsall is going right next to him and that is probably fair, too. I just like Jennings as the prototypical X guy in this offense. Without a dynamic Deebo, and if CMC is limited or out, there is a world where Jennings gets absolutely peppered. I'm also a Purdy believer.

What lead you to believe Jennings and Purdy have better chemistry? (These aren’t fighting words, just curiosity as a RedZone viewer.)

Because Jennings has played in this system for the last several years and when the injuries opened up more playing time last year he did very well (scored just under 200 points last year) while getting 113 targets. This year MFL is predicting 133 targets. He gets that kind of touches he's going to produce IMO.
