Jauan Jennings

The 49ers also re-signed Jauan Jennings to an extension to his rookie contract through the 2025 season. The deal is worth a guaranteed $10.5 million and is comparable to the extension Rashod Bateman received with the Ravens. Jennings had moments in 2024, most notably in his single spot start back in Week 7 against the Vikings with Deebo Samuel inactive. Jennings was targeted a team-high 9 times (31% Target share) and caught 5 passes for 54 yards. He filled in admirably for Samuel. And he performed well in the 49ers' postseason run. Jennings caught 5 of 6 targets for 61 yards in the divisional round versus Green Bay. In the Super Bowl, Jennings was making his case for MVP with 4 catches for 42 yards and 1 TD in addition to a passing TD to Christian McCaffrey. If the team trades Samuel, Jennings is an underrated player who could seize a larger role in the 49ers offense.

Jauan Jennings has signed a two-year contract extension with the 49ers worth up to $15.4 million with $10.5 guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

After holding out at OTAs last week, Jennings and the 49ers were able to come to an agreement for an extension. Jennings has been a solid role player for the Niners but hasn't stood out on a team that also boasts Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle. Unless one of their star wide receivers moves elsewhere, Jennings won't be a viable fantasy asset in most leagues.
