Jauan Jennings doesn’t get enough credit.<\/p>\n

Last season, he caught just 19 passes because the 49ers’ relegated him to a part-time third-banana role he clearly had outgrown. Then in the Super Bowl, he showed he was the 49ers’ best wide receiver. And that trend has carried over to this season.<\/p>\n

Jennings is averaging a whopping 71 receiving yards per game — tied for 11th-most in the NFL. He has become the 49ers’ starting X receiver in place of Brandon Aiyuk who’s out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL. And Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jennings led all 49ers with 11 targets. No one else got more than seven. Plus he recovered a fumble and set up the game-winning field goal with a 13-yard catch-and-run on the final drive.<\/p>\n

Which means Jennings has become the unquestioned go-to guy in the 49ers passing offense. He’s currently on pace for 1,065 yards, and that number will rise if he stays healthy. Because instead of getting 4 to 6 targets per game like he used to, now he’ll get 8 to 12 targets per game.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness the 49ers extended his contract before the season started.<\/p>\n

Jennings was a restricted free agent this past offseason. Which means the 49ers could have given him a one-year deal and he would have been forced to play on it, then he would have become a very expensive free agent in 2025. Goodbye, Jauan.<\/p>\n

Instead, the 49ers offered him a two-year, $15.39 million extension and he took it. That was a huge raise for the former seventh-round pick. But now, it’s a fraction of what he’d be worth on the open market. He’s still one of the biggest bargains on the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
