2025 Fantasy Outlook

Opportunity

• Receiver hierarchy shift:

  • With Deebo Samuel traded and Aiyuk recovering from ACL, Jennings looks to lead the WR corps until Aiyuk is 100% healthy (mid-season)

  • Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle continue to command targets as well in this offense

Risks & Competition

• Consistency concerns:

  • Only recorded four games with 12+ PPR PPG outside his 46-point explosion

  • Faces increased target competition from returning Aiyuk, ascending Pearsall, and Kittle

Headliner Take

Jauan Jennings enters the 2025 fantasy football season following a career-best 2024 campaign in which he recorded 77 receptions for 975 yards and 6 touchdowns over 15 games. With Deebo Samuel no longer in San Francisco and Brandon Aiyuk returning from injury, Jennings is positioned to remain a key part of the 49ers’ passing attack. His 26% target share and strong efficiency metrics in 2024 such as 2.45 yards per route run highlight his ability to produce when given opportunities. While increased competition for targets from Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, and George Kittle could impact his consistency, Jennings offers WR3/4 value with upside in PPR formats thanks to his established role and proven efficiency.
