Jauan Jennings

Officials ejected Jauan Jennings in the first half Sunday.

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings was ejected from the 49ers Week 18 game before he could reach the 1,000-yard receiving mark on the season. Jennings was called for back-to-back penalties for unnecessary roughness which led to his disqualification midway through the first half of Sunday s season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. However, when it came time for the NFL to dole out fines, Jennings...

Dobbs also added eight carries for 17 yards and a score in a spot start that had a little bit of everything. Dobbs kept things interesting until crumbling late. He was also missing Jauan Jennings following a first half ejection, while the 49ers rationed George Kittle's snaps in a meaningless game. Impressive enough, though we would have to imagine coach Kyle Shanahan would probably prefer a little more upside in his No. 2 spot for 2025. That could come in the form of a Day 2/3 draft pick or a more experienced veteran retread. 24 days shy of his 30th birthday, Dobbs has undoubtedly bought himself another year in the league.

Fourth-round rookie Cowing doubled his previous season production in a game where the 49ers were missing Deebo Samuel and lost Jauan Jennings to a second quarter ejection. A month shy of his 24th birthday, Cowing doesn't have the worst draft pedigree, but his age and size (5-foot-9) limit his upside even with the future of the receiver position uncertain in San Francisco via Deebo's contract status and Brandon Aiyuk's knee injury.

Pearsall closed the season with his third best overall outing of the year, no small feat since it was backup Josh Dobbs under center. The No. 31 overall pick now heads into the winter with 16 grabs for 210 yards and two touchdowns over his final two appearances. Awesome stuff, though it's obviously a bit concerning that represents more than half of Pearsall's 2024 production. It's still very encouraging to see the 24-year-old step up with the 49ers battling injury and uncertainty in their skill corps, including under center. We must now play the waiting game as we look to assess Pearsall's 2025 prospects. When will Brandon Aiyuk be back from his knee injury? Will Deebo Samuel be back at all? How much are the 49ers buying into Jauan Jennings' late-career breakout? Those variables make Pearsall a bit of a shaky bet in the top 36 in terms of re-draft, but he's on a little more solid ground in dynasty.
