I feel like he’s got 50 or 60 catches. Why can’t he take over for what Jauan Jennings has been in this offense over the last 3 years?” via: @957thegame

Jennings at Pick 141 won't see enough target volume in Minnesota's offense to make a significant fantasy impact, despite being more talented than many other players getting drafted in this range. With Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson around, volume is king and Jennings lacks the path to consistent fantasy production. Unless Jefferson or Addison miss time, Jennings will be a much more useful real-life football player than fantasy football player.

Jennings joins coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, which sounds exciting until the role comes into focus; Jennings is an excellent blocker, and that may end up being his primary job in Minnesota. There is little chance he passes Jordan Addison for the second receiver role, which caps both snaps and targets. Pass on Jennings because barring an injury ahead of him, he is unlikely to be a fantasy factor.

Historical 49ers rookie WR comparison: Jennings was technically a rookie in 2021 (did not play in 2020) and caught 24 passes for 282 yards with 5 receiving touchdowns, tied for second all-time in franchise history for rookie receiving TDs. Trent Williams compared De'Zhaun Stribling's route-running variety to Jennings, though noting Stribling has more speed. Used as a lower-end benchmark for Stribling's potential rookie output.
