49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) could miss game vs. Chiefs

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings could miss Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a hip injury, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday.

Jennings, 27, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

"He's in jeopardy," Shanahan said on Bay Area radio station KNBR, per 49erswebzone.com. "I'm hoping that he can turn around here and have a good day tomorrow and feel better, but definitely, right now, it's no guarantee."

Jennings has started two of six games and has 25 receptions on 36 targets for a team-high 404 yards with three touchdowns. His biggest performance came when star receiver Deebo Samuel was out with a calf strain and Jennings caught 11 of 12 targets for 175 yards and three TDs in a 27-24 loss at the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 22.

He had three catches for 27 yards in the 49ers' most recent game, a 36-24 victory over the host Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 10.

San Francisco (3-3) selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Tennessee. Jennings has 103 receptions for 1,367 yards and 10 TDs in 51 regular-season games (nine starts).

Samuel has been limited at practice this week because of a wrist injury. Kickers Jake Moody (right ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder/back) did not practice on Thursday.

Running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) was limited on Thursday, but Shanahan was optimistic he will play Sunday against the Chiefs (5-0) in a rematch of last season's Super Bowl won by Kansas City.

"We've stayed off him all week, just so we (don't) hurt him or make it any worse," Shanahan said in the KNBR interview. "Put him in a blue jersey so nobody hits him too hard. He's doing good. He's had something like this before, so I think he'll be good by Sunday."

Bender's DFS Pickem Plays: Week 7

Player Notes
Keon Coleman Oct 20 6:40pm CT
Keon Coleman

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman caught four of his seven targets for 125 yards in the team's 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans. The rookie more than doubled his previous career-high mark for receiving yards. Most of his yardage came on two plays: a 44-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter and a 57-yard gain in the fourth. He nearly scored a touchdown on another play but was it overturned to incomplete after a review. The presence of Amari Cooper may have eased the defensive attention on Coleman, but the veteran will eventually eat into his snaps as well. The rookie will be a boom-or-bust wide receiver for fantasy football managers again in Week 8.

Tyler Conklin Oct 20 6:40pm CT
Tyler Conklin

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin (hip) will play on Sunday night against the Steelers. The veteran was questionable for this one because of a hip injury. However, he carried the same designation ahead of the Week 6 matchup with the Bills, so this update isn't surprising. With that said, Conklin has only 19 catches this season, so he's not a viable fantasy option. The arrival of Davante Adams also means he will see less attention from Aaron Rodgers moving ahead.

Zach Ertz Oct 20 6:40pm CT
Zach Ertz

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught four of his five targets for 40 yards and a score in their victory over the Carolina Panthers. This was the first time Ertz found the end zone in the DMV. The veteran tight end became a key part of the Washington offense once Marcus Mariota replaced Jayden Daniels (ribs). Even though Ertz was productive with Daniels, he seemed to have a strong connection with Mariota, as he finished with the third-most targets and second-most yards on the team. The 33-year-old has now tallied double-digit PPR points in back-to-back games and remains a solid low-end TE1 heading into Week 8.

Ben Sinnott Oct 20 6:40pm CT
Ben Sinnott

Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott caught his first two passes in the NFL and found the end zone in their Week 7 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The Kansas State product found the end zone in the third quarter on a three-yard pass from Marcus Mariota, which extended their lead to an impressive five scores. The second-round selection in this year's draft has been held off the scoresheet through the first six weeks but was finally able to make an impact. For now, fantasy managers in redraft formats should leave Sinnott on the waiver wire, but if he continues to see an increasing role in the offense, he could be worth a speculative stash in deeper formats.

Dalton Kincaid Oct 20 6:40pm CT
Dalton Kincaid

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught three of his six targets for 52 yards in the team's 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The pedestrian total was actually Kincaid's season-high mark for receiving yards, which says a lot about his production so far this season. Kincaid was about a yard away from scoring a touchdown in the third quarter. Josh Allen found Ty Johnson two plays later for the score. With Amari Cooper now on the roster, Kincaid drops to the third option in the passing game. He'll be a low-end TE1 against the Seattle Seahawks next weekend.

Marcus Mariota Oct 20 6:30pm CT
Marcus Mariota

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota went 18-for-23 with 205 yards and two passing scores in relief of Jayden Daniels (ribs), who left the game in the first quarter. Mariota added 34 yards on 11 rushing attempts. The veteran QB did not face much trouble in relief as the Commanders were overpowering Carolina the entire evening. The former Oregon product found both tight ends, Zach Ertz and Ben Sinnott, in the end zone. He connected with Terry McLaurin all evening as he finished with a team-high 98 yards on six catches. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Daniels' status during the week, as Mariota could be in line to start next weekend against the Chicago Bears.

Andy Dalton Oct 20 6:30pm CT
Andy Dalton

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 93 yards and two interceptions off 11-for-16 passing in Sunday's blowout to the Washington Commanders. Nothing was going right for the Panthers offense in Week 7, resulting in Bryce Young entering late when the game was out of reach. As a result, many wondered if Young would be back under center moving ahead. However, that doesn't appear to be the case, with head coach Dave Canales stating postgame that the team is "committed" to Dalton moving ahead. The veteran signal-caller has played better than expected since taking over for Young, so fantasy managers in multi-QB formats can consider him a starting option in Week 8 against the Broncos.

Brian Robinson Jr. Oct 20 6:30pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a productive day in his return as he tallied 71 yards on the ground off 12 attempts and found the end zone for the sixth time this season. He did not see a target in the passing game. The Commanders got ahead of Carolina quite early and gave their rusher a limited workload in the second half as the game was out of hand. However, the 25-year-old looked healthy after his Week 6 absence due to a knee injury as he reclaimed his typical short-yardage role. Robinson should be locked into all lineups as an RB2 next weekend against the Chicago Bears.

Austin Ekeler Oct 20 6:30pm CT
Austin Ekeler

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler had a quiet showing in their Week 7 dismantling of the Carolina Panthers. Ekeler ran the ball just four times for a mere 17 yards. In the passing game, he brought in both of his targets just three yards. This was his lowest output of the season, both on the ground and through the air. However, the game script for the pass-catching back was not too positive, as the Commanders were up by multiple scores all evening. Fantasy managers in PPR leagues should continue to view Ekeler as a low-end flex option heading into their Week 8 tilt against the Chicago Bears.

Terry McLaurin Oct 20 6:30pm CT
Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led all Washington pass-catchers with 98 yards in their victory over the Carolina Panthers. He brought in all six of his targets, which tied for a team-high. Even though he was without his QB1 through most of the game, the 29-year-old has continued his impressive stretch as he has tallied at least 15.0 PPR points in every game since Week 3. During this span, McLaurin found the end zone four times and has been the clear lead option in the Washington air attack. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Jayden Daniels' status (ribs) throughout the week, but McLaurin remains a safe, high-end WR2 facing the Chicago Bears next weekend.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Oct 20 6:20pm CT
Dorian Thompson-Robinson

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) may have avoided a severe injury. However, his availability moving forward will be determined based on "how he responds to treatment and how he can grip a football." With Deshaun Watson (Achilles) going down in the Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, DTR took over under center, throwing for 82 yards off 11-for-24 passing, adding 44 yards off three carries. But after he was injured, Jameis Winston entered the contest. Cleveland will next meet the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Still, no matter who is throwing the ball, fantasy managers will have a tough time trusting any Browns quarterback until the offense shows signs of life.

Amari Cooper Oct 20 6:20pm CT
Amari Cooper

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in his first game with the team. Cooper, acquired via trade last week, scored on his first reception of the game in the third quarter. The 30-year-old wasn't deployed as often as other Buffalo wide receivers as he was still learning the playbook. On his touchdown, he appeared to ask rookie Keon Coleman what the play was before the ball was snapped. His involvement will only increase moving forward and should take snaps from Coleman and Mack Hollins. He'll be a WR2 when the Bills travel to Seattle next weekend.

Khalil Shakir Oct 20 6:20pm CT
Khalil Shakir

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all seven of his targets for 65 yards in the team's victory over the Tennessee Titans. Shakir was well on his way to a dud performance until Buffalo's first drive of the fourth quarter. Josh Allen threw three straight passes to the slot receiver for 24 yards. Amari Cooper caught one pass, and then Allen went right back to Shakir for two more catches for 26 yards. Cooper's arrival in Buffalo won't impact Shakir's playing time. He operates almost exclusively from the slot and does not often see the field in two-receiver sets. He'll be in the flex conversation next week against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kayshon Boutte Oct 20 6:10pm CT
Kayshon Boutte

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught one of his two targets for 33 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year receiver wasn't able to replicate his impressive Week 6 stat line that included a touchdown, but he was still heavily involved. He finished Sunday's contest with 50 snaps (most among Patriots wide receivers) and 37 routes run (most among all Patriots players). Boutte is off the redraft radar going forward but remains an intriguing dynasty stash as he continues to earn meaningful offensive snaps.

Josh Allen Oct 20 6:10pm CT
Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 323 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He rushed three times for one yard. Allen was on his way to a respectable, but not great, stat line until the fourth quarter. He tossed his second touchdown to running back Ty Johnson and added 125 passing yards to his total on the two subsequent drives. Allen's first score was a red zone strike to the newly acquired Amari Cooper. He and the healthy return of Khalil Shakir give Allen reliable options in the passing game. Allen and the Bills will travel to Seattle for their Week 8 matchup.

K.J. Osborn Oct 20 6:10pm CT
K.J. Osborn

New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught two of his three targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Many members of the Patriots' receiving core got involved on Sunday, and that included Osborn in his first game back from a shoulder injury. However, it's worth noting that he only played 36.7 percent of offensive snaps, which was his lowest mark of the 2024 season. He remains off the fantasy radar going forward.

James Cook Oct 20 6:10pm CT
James Cook

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. For the first time this season, Cook did not record a reception. The touchdown saved what was otherwise an inefficient day on the ground. Cook returned to the lineup after a one-game absence and handled the early-down work for the Bills in the first half. Backup rookie Ray Davis (five carries, 41 yards, one touchdown) got the majority of his production in the second half. Expect Cook to remain the starter and handle most of the running back touches against Seattle in Week 8.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Oct 20 6:00pm CT
JuJu Smith-Schuster

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. The wideout entered this contest carrying an injury designation, so it appears he wasn't ready to get on the field after coming off a huge seven-catch, 130-yard outing in Week 5 against the Saints. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go for the Week 8 matchup versus the Raiders. However, if Smith-Schuster doesn't suit up, it will likely result in more targets for Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, and Noah Gray.

Demario Douglas Oct 20 6:00pm CT
Demario Douglas

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old was very involved on the opening drive, but his productivity dwindled as the game progressed. He missed nearly a quarter while battling symptoms of an illness, and although he did check back into the game in the second half, he did not catch a pass after returning to the field. Douglas is a candidate to bounce back in Week 7 assuming he's able to shake the symptoms of his illness. He caught six passes for 92 yards and one touchdown in Week 6 with Drake Maye under center, and managers are anxious for him to replicate that stat line with the No. 3 pick playing quite well. Douglas ranks as a low-end WR3/FLEX option heading into next Sunday's divisional contest.

Aaron Jones Oct 20 5:50pm CT
Aaron Jones

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones entered Sunday's matchup with the Lions by carrying an injury designation because of a hamstring injury. However, it appeared the ailment wasn't a concern, considering he finished the day by amassing 93 yards and a touchdown off 14 carries, adding three catches for 23 yards. While the 29-year-old hadn't found the end zone on the ground since Week 1 leading up to this contest, he's been consistently productive as a pass-catcher and runner. Keep him starting on Thursday night against the Rams.
