Jauan Jennings Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR33 last season at 11.6 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR147 at 0.6 PPR points per game, against 11.6 over 15 games last season (WR33). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 37th of 142 in target volume (16.4% target share), 43rd of 142 in downfield role (21.1% air-yards share) and 67th of 142 in efficiency (1.47 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Efficiency is the soft spot. Carson Wentz is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Myles Price next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Colts in Week 7 (9th against WRs) and the Lions in Week 8 (2nd against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Jennings is a more capable receiver than his new depth chart suggests. In 2024 he posted a 22% target share, a 0.503 WOPR, and 2.49 yards per route run on 113 looks, then followed it with a 9-touchdown 2025 on a 16.4% share despite a dip to 1.47 yards per route. The red-zone profile travels: 19 red-zone and 8 end-zone targets last year explain those scores, and a 3.3% drop rate shows reliable hands. His efficiency cratered, though, with EPA per play sliding from 0.383 to -0.016 as the volume and air yards thinned.
The move to Minnesota caps the upside hard. Slotted third behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, plus Hockenson and a new quarterback in Kyler Murray, he projects for roughly 49 catches and 557 yards. That puts him in late-round, touchdown-dependent territory: a WR60-ish flier whose value spikes only if an injury opens snaps ahead of him.
What Drives His Outlook
