BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Streaming FLEX
ANALYSIS: With Injuries to the 49ers' top playmakers Jauan Jennings finds himself as an interesting streaming option for fantasy managers in deep leagues.
The San Francisco 49ers are likely down another key playmaker with wide receiver Deebo Samuel set to miss Week 3. With both Samuel and Christian McCaffrey out of the lineup, a significant number of targets are up for grabs, and Jauan Jennings looks poised to take on some of that workload. Jennings is currently rostered in just 28% of leagues.
So far this season, Jennings has caught seven passes for 101 yards and has emerged as a trusted option in the 49ers' offense. He played 54% of the team’s snaps in Week 2, and with Samuel sidelined, he’s expected to see a significant increase in playing time.

The 49ers will face divisional rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. The Rams just allowed 266 passing yards and three touchdowns to the Cardinals and showed no signs of being able to slow down the passing game. With ongoing injuries in their secondary, the Rams will likely be short on depth for the second week in a row.
With increased opportunities and a favorable matchup, Jauan Jennings is an intriguing streaming option for managers in need in Week 3.
