The 49ers (6-7) could use another massive outing from Jauan Jennings to outpace the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) and keep alive playoff hopes.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, right, scores a touchdown past Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Kinchens and cornerback Cobie Durant during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. Jennings was so disheartened he did not speak after the game. He also stayed mum after a 10-catch, 91-yard outing went for naught in last month’s home loss to Seattle.
Nacua, who missed five games after a Week 1 knee injury, caught 12 of 14 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 44-42 win over Buffalo, also scoring on one of his five carries. In his second career game last year, he caught 15 of 20 targets for 147 yards in a loss to the 49ers. Kupp has been out the past three meetings with the 49ers, but he averaged 116.6 yards and scored four touchdowns in their previous five matchups.
With questions swirling around the 49ers’ ever-injured running backs corps, Jennings and George Kittle could be tapped again to lead a touchdown barrage.and, while voicing that desire on social media created a stir, he has excelled in past games against the rival Rams. “I trust in whoever it is when it comes to the run game,” Purdy said. “In the pass game, we have a smart running back room where they know where to fit into blocks and give me time.”
A 2020 seventh-round pick who thought he was first-round worthy, Jennings has worked his way up from the practice squad as a rookie and through injuries, while admiring Aiyuk and Samuel. “I remember telling Kyle when I first got here I wish it was an air attack with me, Deebo and Aiyuk. He just plays more two-receiver sets,” Jennings said. “In understanding the league, you appreciate what Deebo and Aiyuk have done in their career.
