The San Francisco 49ers will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jauan Jennings.
Is Jauan Jennings Playing in Week 11?
After not appearing on Wednesday’s injury report, Jauan Jennings was a new addition on Thursday as limited with an ankle injury. This is different from the hip injury that caused Jennings to miss two games earlier this season.
However, the 49ers removed Jennings from their injury report heading into Week 11. He’s good to go for Sunday’s contest.
Jennings had a successful return in Week 10 vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording a team-high seven receptions for 93 yards. Jennings played a season-high 90.2% of the snaps as well, showing no limitations.

Should You Start or Sit Jauan Jennings in Week 11?
Jauan Jennings returned last week (hip) and made his presence known by leading the 49ers in catches (three), targets (five), and receiving yards (59) in the first half. He didn’t slow down after intermission and the scripted plays ran out, finishing with seven grabs for 93 yards on a 32.4% target share.
49ers WR snap shares, Week 10:
- Jennings: 90.2%
- Deebo Samuel Sr.: 78.7%
- Ricky Pearsall: 62.3%
Everything in his statistical profile reflects that Jennings is a good player — not just a good fill-in for Brandon Aiyuk but a sustainably productive receiver in this league who just happens to be a part of a loaded roster.
In Tampa Bay last week, Brock Purdy threw seven passes to the slot and five went to Jennings. Generally speaking, I love having that role on my roster, but this matchup gives me pause. Through 10 weeks, the Seahawks have been the best defense when it comes to limiting slot production, allowing just 5.8 yards per attempt to that spot on the field, half a yard clear of any other unit in the league.
This is a highly efficient offense that doesn’t need to challenge the strengths of opposing defenses, and that works in a bit more of a floor this week than I’d normally assign Jennings. For DFS, I’ll be looking elsewhere, but for season-long play, I still think he is a viable Flex option ranking alongside the likes of his counterpart in this game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
