BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings appears to finally be a stable fantasy football asset. He's now playing full-time in the X receiver role vacated by Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who went down with season-ending ligament tears in his knee.

In full-PPR scoring, Jennings looks like a solid WR2 now. He's been buried on the depth chart for some time behind star pass-catchers Aiyuk, WR Deebo Samuel, and tight end George Kittle. Now, he's capitalizing on a bigger opportunity. He returned from a hip injury and caught seven of hiss 11 targets for 93 yards, totaling 16.3 PPR fantasy points.

He's earning plenty of targets and producing efficiently with him. His quarterback, Brock Purdy, and his head coach, Kyle Shanahan, clearly trust him enough to make him a big part of the game plan and throw the ball his way often. He's a gem of a free-agent pickup and waiver wire claim.
He should thrive in his new role, and shouldn't be left out of starting lineups any longer.
INJURY UPDATE: Niners TE George Kittle isn't expected to play due to an injury. His absence would increase Jennings' fantasy value.
