2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jennings is a talented player, but he is often used as a blocking receiver. The veteran was targeted fewer than three times per game. In addition, Jennings rarely played 30 snaps in a game. As long as the 49ers are a run-heavy team, Jennings may not have much of a role in the passing attack. Also, the 49ers used a first-round pick on slot receiver Ricky Pearsall, so Jennings is unlikely to produce useful fantasy numbers with consistency. Should either of the top-two receivers miss time for the 49ers, Jennings could see increased volume, which would raise his fantasy value. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $15.4 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2024.
Inks two-year deal
WRSan Francisco 49ers
May 29, 2024
Jennings and the 49ers agreed Wednesday on a two-year deal worth up to $15.4 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Niners gave Jennings a second-round restricted free agent tender in March. Given that it was unlikely any team would give up a pick that early for the right to pay Jennings a considerable contract, a trade was the only other viable option. Both parties were able to avoid that situation with this new deal, which is akin to a one-year extension that keeps him with San Francisco through the 2025 season. Jennings will be back to fill the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk during the upcoming campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Earns Niners' most underrated
WRSan Francisco 49ers
May 31, 2024
Jennings is tabbed as the 49ers' most underappreciated player by Tom Blair of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
The reserve receiver fits the underrated label to a T, considering he's best known for his downfield blocking, which has earned the praise of star teammate George Kittle. However, Blair notes Jennings has been a true all-around contributor for San Francisco, with his versatility most prominently featured in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs this past February when he recorded a 4-42-1 receiving line and also threw a touchdown to Christian McCaffrey. Jennings' value is recognized by the organization, however, considering he received a two-year deal with $10.5 million guaranteed this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Jennings fortified his hold on the 49ers' slot receiver role in his third year as a pro last season. The 25-year-old was unable to build on the five touchdowns he tallied in 2021, finishing with just one score to go with his 35 receptions and 416 yards. If Jennings and his 6-3 frame can improve in the red zone this year, he would see a boost to his current fantasy value. The 2020 seventh-round pick doesn't have the athleticism of fellow wideouts Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk, but Jennings will provide strong run blocking and sure hands for San Francisco in the fall.
Jennings took on the vacated slot receiver role once veteran Mohamed Sanu went down to injury midseason. A seventh-round pick in 2020, Jennings thrived in a more prominent role, racking up 21 receptions (on 32 targets) for 251 yards and four touchdowns over the final nine games of the regular season. Blessed with a 6-3, 212-pound frame, the third-year wideout provides a reliable red-zone target with plus blocking. Perhaps Jennings generates fantasy appeal in his current role at third on the Week 1 projected depth chart if Trey Lance can open up San Francisco's passing game.
The 49ers selected Jennings with its final pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-3 wideout brings much-needed size to the team's receiving corps following the season-ending injury to Jalen Hurd. What the 23-year-old lacks in speed (4.72 40-yard dash), he makes up for in soft hands and strong after-the-catch ability (29 broken tackles in his senior year at Tennessee). Jennings will have to prove his worth during training camp to squeeze onto the 53-man roster, but he will also be practice squad eligible as well.
