If Deebo Samuel indeed finds his way out the door in the offseason, Jennings may be in line for a serious increase in target share compared to a season ago. Even if Samuel does stay, Jennings made the most of his targets in his rookie season and showed plenty of promise for the future. The rookie scored four touchdowns in five targets in the red zone last season. Bringing him back gives this team some serious depth at the wide receiver position which should be a luxury in what could end up being quarterback Trey Lance’s team come Week 1.
Jennings made 24 receptions on 38 targets for 282 yards and five receiving touchdowns in 16 games last season.
The San Francisco 49ers are currently -178 to make the 2022-23 NFL Playoffs, per the FanDuel Sportsbook.
