Jauan Jennings

From Jennings to Courtland Sutton and Jalen Coker, a close looks at players running hot or cold headed into Week 16

Jennings was the top option in terms of targets in the 49ers' passing attack, but he was held completely in check with some credit going to the Rams' defense and a lot of credit going to the San Francisco passing attack being atrocious in the Thursday Night Football contest. Jennings will be in the WR2 range -- with some volatility -- for Week 16 against the Dolphins.

Jennings finished with seven receptions (eight targets) for 90 yards and a pair of scores in Sunday's 38-13 rout over the Bears.

Purdy carved up the Bears' defense on the 49ers' first drive, hitting Isaach Guerendo and George Kittle for explosive gains before finding Jauan Jennings for a seven-yard score, establishing the theme for Week 14. Purdy experienced a brief injury scare when he was clotheslined on a sack but missed just one play. It would be unsurprising to see him show up on next week's injury report with a sore neck but he should be good to go as a QB1 against the Rams.

Jennings' crafty footwork was on display once again. The veteran WR regularly created space against Bears DBs and Brock Purdy consistently found him over the middle for big gains. The two have a tangibly strong connection. Jennings is WR2-viable against the Rams in Week 15.
