Jauan 

Jennings

•

Jauan Jennings’ 25.7% target rate was the eighth-highest among all wide receivers last season.

•

One Jennings took over for Branon Aiyuk; he averaged 14.1 PPR points per game during a nine-game stretch, 29th-best among wide receivers.

Jennings has notably played better against zone coverages than man, so the Z spot should be better than the X. Unfortunately, he’s played better in the slot compared to out wide. His yards per route run have been higher from the slot every season, including last season. When he lined up on the line of scrimmage and on the outside last season, he averaged 2.47 yards per route run, but when he was off the line, that dropped to 1.35. The 49ers' X receiver typically lines up on the line significantly more than off, while their Z receiver is off the line a little more often than on when lined up out wide.
