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."

Hot Plays, Fades and Sleepers: Week 7

Player Notes
James Cook Oct 18 4:50pm CT
James Cook

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe) logged full practices on Thursday and Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The toe issue forced Cook to sit out Monday's game against the Jets. He'll step right back into the starting lineup and may not have to worry about Ray Davis (calf) taking away touches. The rookie is questionable following his big game with Cook inactive. The Titans' defense is better against the pass than the ground game. Plus, offensive coordinator Joe Brady appears committed to the run no matter which running back gets the carries. Cook should be locked into fantasy football lineups this weekend.

Josh Jacobs Oct 18 4:50pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been solid, yet unspectacular this season. He will get another opportunity to get into the scoring column as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Jacobs has gotten the lion's share of opportunity as the top rusher in Green Bay but has parlayed that into just one top-12 fantasy week in six games. He's been a high-floor, low-ceiling option at running back and has just one touchdown to his credit in Week 5 against the Rams. With both offenses stacked with options, it could be the running backs, namely Jacobs, that turn the tide and become the difference as the Texans have allowed the fourth-most yards after contact per attempt and Jacobs has been solid (29th of 61 qualified backs) in that regard. Look for Jacobs to be on that low-end RB/high-end RB2 line in Week 7 for fantasy purposes.

Tony Pollard Oct 18 4:50pm CT
Tony Pollard

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The former Memphis star has been one of the more consistent options at the running back position in fantasy thus far, ranking top-10 in consistency despite not having eclipsed the 20-point mark once this year. He's averaging a hair under 20 opportunities per game and now takes on a Buffalo rush defense that is routinely gashed on a weekly basis. The Bills rank 31st in yards per carry allowed and points conceded to running backs through six weeks. With Pollard being the only effective weapon the Titans have on offense at the moment and Tyjae Spears ruled out, he should see a huge workload as a top-12 option this week. Start him with confidence.

Tyler Bass Oct 18 4:40pm CT
Tyler Bass

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points this season. His struggles were on full display during Monday Night Football when he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, intending to create competition for Bass. If he continues to whiff on his attempts, he may not be kicking for Buffalo next week. For fantasy football purposes, there are no concerns with the matchup against Tennessee, but fantasy managers may opt to start a more reliable kicker in Week 7.

Jordan Love Oct 18 4:40pm CT
Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to keep his strong run of fantasy production going as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Since returning to the Packers' lineup in Week 5, Love has had two QB3-or-better performances under his belt and has tossed multiple touchdown passes in every game he's played this season. With the Texans being a bit of a pass-funnel defense, Love should have plenty of time to connect with his pass-catching weapons and get some volume as well. With both offenses having the potential for plenty of passing, Love should be considered among the top handful of fantasy options at the position heading into Week 7.

Will Levis Oct 18 4:40pm CT
Will Levis

The Buffalo Bills defense/special teams is one of the top-ranked fantasy football defenses in Week 7. The unit has exceeded expectations and draws the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) has thrown more interceptions (seven) than games played (five). He's also lost three fumbles and been sacked 15 times. The Titans average fewer than 20 points per game. Expect the Bills' defense to force Levis into more turnovers and finish inside the top 12 at the position this week.

Khalil Shakir Oct 18 4:30pm CT
Khalil Shakir

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is off the injury report after participating in practice all week. It's encouraging progress for the slot receiver, who played under 40% of the snaps against the Jets in his first game back from injury. The result was just two catches for 19 yards. Fantasy managers can expect to jump back to the 55-70% snap percentage he played before the ankle ailment. However, the Bills added Amari Cooper to the roster this week and he will demand targets away from Shakir. The Titans allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, although they are better against receivers out wide than inside. Shakir is a low-end WR3 this week.

Dalton Kincaid Oct 18 4:30pm CT
Dalton Kincaid

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was a full participant in practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 7. Kincaid is coming off his best game of the 2024 season, catching a season-high six passes for 51 yards. Unfortunately, a stat line like that was celebrated, as Kincaid has been a fantasy football disappointment this season. The Bills are mainly utilizing him at or near the line of scrimmage. The addition of Amari Cooper could attract defenses away from the tight end, but Buffalo will need to call plays that send Kincaid downfield for him to become a top-six tight end. So far this season, the Titans are the best defense against the position. With his track record and the matchup, Kincaid is a low-end TE1 in Week 7.

Josh Allen Oct 18 4:20pm CT
Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen draws the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, a defense allowing the fewest passing yards per game (137) this season. However, the Titans are in the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed to the position. The Bills will likely lean on the running game again this week but Allen does have a new weapon in wide receiver Amari Cooper. The Bills acquired the former Pro Bowl wideout earlier this week. His presence will increase the floor for Allen, who already possesses a weekly high ceiling. Allen, as usual, is a QB1 for fantasy football this weekend and should be started in all leagues.

Keon Coleman Oct 18 4:20pm CT
Keon Coleman

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has been a boom-or-bust option for fantasy managers throughout his rookie campaign. That's going to continue with the addition of Amari Cooper to the Buffalo roster. Cooper, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid are now above Coleman in the target pecking order. The Titans allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers and just two wideouts have scored against them this season. This week, depending on Coleman to add to his touchdown total isn't a good bet. Coleman should be benched until further notice.

Will Levis Oct 18 4:00pm CT
Will Levis

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. Levis logged a limited practice on Wednesday and upgraded to full participation on Thursday. However, he was listed once again as limited participation on Friday, which caused him to carry an injury designation. Fantasy managers in superflex formats should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, but seeing him at least log one full participation is a positive sign. If Levis cannot play, Mason Rudolph would get the starting nod. Both quarterbacks should be viewed as low-end QB2s and only started in deep superflex formats.

Dontayvion Wicks Oct 18 4:00pm CT
Dontayvion Wicks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Wicks left last weekend's game early with a shoulder injury but was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions this week, which is a positive sign for his status. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status throughout the weekend. If Wicks can play, he should be viewed as a flex option, as he will face heavy competition for targets in a deep Green Bay receiving room. However, facing the Houston Texans, who have allowed the 17th-most points to opposing wideouts, could provide Wicks some upside, especially if the game is high scoring as the 48 O/U point total suggests.

Jason Sanders Oct 18 3:50pm CT
Jason Sanders

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is not an ideal start this Sunday when the team squares off against the Indianapolis Colts. Scoring opportunities for the Dolphins offense have been challenging to come by this season. Sanders has hit on 9-of-12 field goal attempts this year and drilled all three of his extra-point attempts. Miami has scored just five touchdowns this year. While the outing against the Colts is one of the better matchups in the league, it's hard to be excited about most of the Dolphins' fantasy assets before quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to action. Sanders is the K26 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

Jordan Mason Oct 18 3:50pm CT
Jordan Mason

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) was seen wearing a non-contact jersey during Friday's practice, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Mason has been a limited participant all week during practice and will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend as he has yet to shed the non-contact jersey. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the injury report later on Friday as it may clarify the 25-year-old's availability for the weekend. Mason left last week's game early after suffering an AC joint sprain. If the standout running back happens to miss Sunday's game, rookie Isaac Guerendo will likely lead the San Francisco backfield and would become a viable RB2 play.

Anthony Richardson Oct 18 3:50pm CT
Anthony Richardson

The Miami Dolphins are set to square off against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday in Week 7. The team's DST has been one of the more underwhelming units in 2024, ranking near the bottom of the league in fantasy points per outing. They're one of seven teams in the NFL still stuck on a single-digit sack total (9) and have turned over their opposition just four times on the season -; tied with five other squads for the third-fewest in the league. The Colts' offense may struggle with efficiency with quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique), who is projected to be back under center. Still, his dual-threat ability could give the Fins' D fits all afternoon. Miami is RotoBaller's DST26 ahead of Week 7.

Brian Robinson Jr. Oct 18 3:40pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson sat out last week due to this knee injury but returned to practice this week in a limited capacity. John Keim of ESPN reported that the Alabama product is "trending in the right direction" as well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status while heading into the weekend. If Robinson can play, he should be locked into all lineups as a solid RB2. If not, Austin Ekeler should see a significant uptick in opportunities, with Jeremy McNichols entering low-end flex territory, facing the worst run defense in football.

Jaylen Waddle Oct 18 3:40pm CT
Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle gets a strong matchup when his team takes on the Indianapolis Colts on the road in Week 7. While he's yet to eclipse 46 yards since his 109-yard outing in Week 1, Waddle has been consistent -; albeit unspectacular -; recording four receptions in four straight matchups. It's difficult to trust him as more than a FLEX option this week due to the lack of ceiling in the Dolphins' offense sans quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). However, the Colts present as one of the weaker matchups against opponents across the board, and the 25-year-old saw his highest target total of the season his last time out in Week 5 (8). The former Alabama Crimson Tide is RotoBaller's PPR WR46 this week ahead of a 44-point over/under outing.

Josh Downs Oct 18 3:30pm CT
Josh Downs

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Josh Downs (toe) and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Downs opened the week sitting out during Wednesday's practice but was able to upgrade to a limited status on Thursday and Friday. Pierce popped up on the injury report on Thursday but was able to log a limited session on Friday. Even though they both participated in Friday's practice in a limited capacity, it is a positive sign for their status heading into the weekend. If both wideouts can play, Downs should be viewed as a WR2 with upside, while Pierce should be viewed as a WR3 with upside facing the Miami Dolphins.

Tyreek Hill Oct 18 3:30pm CT
Tyreek Hill

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is set to line up against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 7 matchup. Hill and the other Dolphins' skill players have largely been a disappointment since losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in their Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, in his last time out before Miami's bye, he put together his best performance since Week 1, hauling in 6-of-10 targets for 69 yards. It's modest output -; and not very Cheetah-esque -; but he'll have another opportunity to put up strong numbers against a sieve-like Colts defense. Indianapolis is averaging 234.3 yards through the air per game to opposing passing attacks and the fifth-most yards per attempt (6.9). While fantasy managers must keep expectations in check, this is as good a matchup as any to fire up the 30-year-old. Hill is RotoBaller's WR22 in Week 7's rankings.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Pittman opened the week sitting out during Wednesday's practice but then upgraded to full participation on Thursday. However, he was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday, which is not a positive sign for his status. However, Pittman has been able to play through this back injury over the past few weeks and could very well see his typical workload on Sunday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend and should feel comfortable starting him as a low-end WR2 if he can play.
