Jauan Jennings - 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Undervalued Draft Picks

Jauan Jennings is a fantasy football sleeper undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver.

RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): WR38

Fantasy Draft Analysis: No, Jauan Jennings is NOT the next Travis Fulgham (a one-hit wonder for a few games back in 2020).

Many wide receivers get thrust into larger roles every season, and many fail to live up to expectations. Not Jennings. He did the exact opposite. He thrived with his opportunity last season with Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey out for most of the season. In 15 games, Jennings posted a higher yards per route run (2.47) than Chase, Lamb, and Malik Nabers. His elite efficiency led to 14 FPPG, just 0.1 FPPG less than Jameson Williams.

Per Fantasy Points Data, his 29.2% first-read target share sat between Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey, two guys with massive expectations in 2025. Similarly to Nico Collins, it took Jennings a few years to burst onto the scene and truly "break out." Now is not the time to turn your back on this guy, not after seeing what his opportunity looked like alongside George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall last season.

Looks like Jennings is the guy without Aiyuk in the mix. There's also no guarantee Aiyuk is even ready for the start of the 2025 season after tearing his ACL and MCL in Week 7 last season. Even when he does return, data suggests Aiyuk will need approximately six live games to ramp up to his pre-injury target share.

With Deebo Samuel gone, Ricky Pearsall dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, and Aiyuk recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, Jennings is the clear-cut WR1 in San Francisco to start the 2025 season.
