Injury Status: Out
Injury: Calf
by Bruno Mulé
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) has been ruled out for Monday night's Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, according to Will Ragatz. Jennings was limited in Thursday's practice before being downgraded to a nonparticipant Friday. The 29-year-old caught both of his targets for 11 yards during Minnesota's Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions and has recorded six receptions for 54 yards across six appearances this season. Jennings has been working behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but his absence could move rookie Tai Felton into the No. 3 receiver role. Felton has caught three passes for 41 yards this season, leaving him with limited demonstrated fantasy production despite the potential increase in playing time. Minnesota will also be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), with Carson Wentz taking over under center against Buffalo.

Jauan Jennings 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Lower Expectations After Signing As WR3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings will step in as the team's new WR3 after inking a one-year, $13 million deal in May. Stuck firmly behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison on the depth chart, he is not in an ideal situation to stage a rebound off a disappointing 2025 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers. In the wake of Deebo Samuel's departure and Brandon Aiyuk's contract drama, the stage was set for Jennings to emerge as the 49ers' alpha receiver. However, a litany of injuries cost Jennings two games, limited his involvement when active, and impaired his playmaking ability. He finished the season with 55 receptions, 643 yards, and nine touchdowns on 90 targets. The Vikings have a strong tendency to operate out of three-WR sets, so Jennings should still be on the field often, but with a greatly reduced target share. Jennings will be functioning more as a role player than a featured receiver with his new team, limiting his fantasy value in 2026. He is listed as the WR58 in RotoBaller's early rankings.less...
