Jauan Jennings A Back-End Flex Play

Jauan Jennings A Back-End Flex Play

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings may be worth a gamble in 12-team leagues this Sunday when the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals at home. In Week 7 at Minnesota, Jennings paced the 49ers with a career-high nine targets which he turned into five catches for 54 yards receiving. With starting wide receiver Deebo Samuel out with a shoulder fracture, Jennings led San Francisco in targets. Samuel will be out again in Week 8, providing an opportunity for Jennings to continue his increased involvement. On most other teams, these circumstances would elevate Jennings to WR2/3 status, but San Francisco's loaded offense throws a wet blanket on Jennings' outlook. In his three-year career with the 49ers, Jennings has cracked 10 fantasy points just twice and hadn't eclipsed seven targets in 38 career games before last Monday night. He's a shaky flex play and depending on league size, there are probably better options.
