Jennings finally got into the scoring column in 2023 after taking a short pass from Brock Purdy early in the fourth quarter and following a convoy of blockers to the end zone early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers' slot receiver was on the field for 29 snaps (49 percent), which wasn't far off from his season average, but Jennings' playing time doesn't tend to correlate with his targets -- in Week 8 against Cincinnati, the wideout did not receive a target despite playing 84 percent of the offense's snaps. This volatility in usage limits Jennings' value to deep leagues heading into a Week 14 tilt against Seattle.

Jennings finally got into the scoring column in 2023 after taking a short pass from Brock Purdy early in the fourth quarter and following a convoy of blockers to the end zone early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers' slot receiver was on the field for 29 snaps (49 percent), which wasn't far off from his season average, but Jennings' playing time doesn't tend to correlate with his targets -- in Week 8 against Cincinnati, the wideout did not receive a target despite playing 84 percent of the offense's snaps. This volatility in usage limits Jennings' value to deep leagues heading into a Week 14 tilt against Seattle.
Jennings received his usual allotment of snaps as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout, but there wasn't much work left for him after a trio of teammates combined for four touchdowns Thursday. The 26-year-old has just two catches over his last three games, which is primarily the result of San Francisco getting healthy on offense following its bye. Jennings' role should remain constant in Week 13 when the 49ers face the Eagles on Dec. 3.
Jennings finished with no targets despite being on the field for 50 of San Francisco's offensive snaps (85 percent) for the team's third loss in as many weeks. He wound up playing a larger share of snaps compared to last week's spot-start when he produced his best line of the season (5-54-0). With the 49ers entering a bye in Week 9, there is a good possibility Samuel could return to the starting lineup against the Jaguars on Nov. 12. If that happens, Jennings would slide back to his usual slot role when San Francisco returns to action.
