BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues (if playing)
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: A key player whose health should be monitored heading into Week 8 is Jauan Jennings. He did not practice on Wednesday and missed the San Francisco 49ers' Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 49ers are eager to get him back in the lineup for their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, especially with their wide receiver corps decimated by injuries. Brandon Aiyuk is out for the season, and Deebo Samuel is questionable for Week 8, leaving Jennings as a potential key contributor.
A career day for JJ. Watch all 11 Jauan Jennings catches from his 175-yard, 3-TD game.

When called upon in the past, Jennings has stepped up impressively. For instance, he recorded 11 catches for 175 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3 with Samuel sidelined.
Keep a close eye on Jennings' status as the week progresses. Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing may be asked to take on more prominent roles in this offense if Jennings cannot go. If the wideout does play, he is a decent start against a Cowboys defense that has been middle-of-the-pack against wide receivers.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
