Not expected to be fantasy relevant in Minnesota despite training camp attention. The source characterizes him as primarily an underneath guy and run-blocking type WR; Kyle Shanahan was able to maximize his limited utility in San Francisco, but in Minnesota he will not be a meaningful fantasy asset. His presence does not threaten Jordan Addison's role as the clear number two target.

The source identifies Jennings as the Vikings' new WR3 and notes he is a WR/TE hybrid who could potentially take snaps from T.J. Hockenson if the Vikings felt he offered a better receiving/blocking threat combination; with increased fullback usage expected, Jennings and tight ends are candidates for reduced snap counts rather than Jefferson or Addison.

The source identifies Jennings as the new WR3 for the Vikings and notes that increased fullback usage under Frank Smith could reduce snaps for the WR3 position. The source suggests it would be surprising if Jennings is on the field as often as last season's WR3 Jalen Nailor (650 snaps), but acknowledges Jennings' WR/TE hybrid role could allow him to take snaps from tight end T.J. Hockenson if the Vikings prefer his receiving/blocking combination.

49ers WR caught only 46% of his contested catches last season; De'Zhaun Stribling, with his 10-inch hands, will look to improve on that number while playing a similar role.

The source identifies Jauan Jennings as the new WR3 for the Vikings and notes he is 'somewhat of a WR/TE hybrid who could potentially take some snaps from Hockenson if the Vikings felt he offered a better receiving/blocking threat combination than Hockenson.' The source suggests Jennings is unlikely to match the 650 snaps per season that Jalen Nailor played in the previous two seasons, but his hybrid role could position him to absorb some of Hockenson's snaps if the Vikings increase fullback usage.

The source notes that Jauan Jennings, the new WR3, could see snap-count pressure if the Vikings increase fullback usage; the source expects Jennings to play fewer snaps than last season's WR3 Jalen Nailor (650 snaps), but Jennings' WR/TE hybrid role could allow him to take snaps from T.J.

New Vikings WR3 Jauan Jennings is a WR/TE hybrid who could potentially take snaps from T.J. Hockenson; however, with increased fullback usage expected under Frank Smith (Shanahan-tree pattern), Jennings' snap count may be reduced compared to last season's WR3 Jalen Nailor (650 snaps/season); room exists for fullback to claim roughly one-third of offensive snaps, likely carved from Hockenson and WR3 snap allocation.

New Vikings WR3; snap count could be reduced if the Vikings increase fullback usage under Frank Smith's scheme. Last season's WR3 Jalen Nailor played around 650 snaps in each of the last two seasons, but Jennings is unlikely to reach that volume. However, as a WR/TE hybrid, Jennings could potentially take snaps from T.J. Hockenson if the Vikings prefer his receiving/blocking threat combination, creating snap competition between the two positions.

throws of the day. On the final reps of practice, Rourke threw a perfect deep out to the left to WR Junior Bergen and followed with another one a bit shorter to WR Malik Turner. It wasn't all positive for him, though as CB Eli Apple baited him into a pick-6 earlier in the session. - Purdy has been impressed by the early returns on Stribling. Much will be made of his speed and separation skills, which is fair. But he's a bigger body who is unafraid to go over the middle. With Jauan Jennings go...
