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.

Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

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.
Jennings (ankle) is present for Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Jennings was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant. It's unclear how much he'll do Friday, but his presence at least suggests he still has a chance to play Sunday against the Seahawks.
Jennings was limited at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Midweek additions to injury reports occasionally mean that health concerns were sustained in practice. It's unclear if this is the case for Jennings, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely to get a sense of his chances to suit up Sunday.
Jennings (hip) finished with seven receptions (11 targets) for 93 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay. Jennings returned from a two-game absence (three weeks including the bye) and wound up leading the 49ers in receiving yards. The veteran slot man was also elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury, which occurred in the same contest Jennings suffered his hip injury. With good health and a larger role on offense, Jennings is looking like a hot pickup in fantasy for the second time this campaign. The 26-year-old can be considered a strong flex option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.
Jennings (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Jennings will return from a two-game absence after upgrading to full practice participation at the end of the week. Meanwhile, Deebo Samuel (oblique/rib) is listed as questionable and Chris Conley (hamstring) ruled out, potentially giving Jennings a bigger role in the gameplan, although Samuel seems to be on track to play.
Jennings (hip) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Jennings is attempting to put the hip injury that sidelined him Weeks 7 and 8 in the rearview mirror, but he so far has managed a pair of capped sessions coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. Friday's practice thus should be key for how he's listed heading into the weekend, and if he's able to return for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay, he'll fill a key role in San Francisco's pass game with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (hip) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Jennings has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a hip injury, missing two contests as a result. With the benefit of a Week 9 bye, he's now ramping up his activity level in advance of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. If he's able to return to action this weekend, Jennings likely will serve as one of the 49ers' starting wide receivers alongside Deebo Samuel (oblique/ribs) due to Brandon Aiyuk being out for the season due to ACL and MCL tears.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (hip) is expected to return following San Francisco's Week 9 bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Jennings missed Weeks 7 and 8 with the hip issue, and the team could really use him with Brandon Aiyuk (IR, knee) done for the season, Chris Conley (hamstring) week-to-week and Deebo Samuel coming off pneumonia and now dealing with oblique and rib strains. Once he's back, Jennings is expected to take on a full-time role for the remainder of the season and should be considered a fantasy starter in that time.
