Jauan Jennings (hip) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Jennings wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday. He’s dealing with a hip injury right now, and the same issue left him sidelined for Week 7’s game as well. If he plays this week, he will be a good starter with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) now on IR and Deebo Samuel (illness) uncertain for Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

After being out since his Week 2 injury, Kupp has been working his way back to the field and is primed to make his return in Week 8. There are rumors he could be on the trade block, but for now, he is set to play and see a healthy workload with WR Puka Nacua (knee) questionable to play.

Samuel will miss San Francisco’s practice on Wednesday. He’s dealing with an illness that previously left him in the hospital, and it remains unclear when he is going to return to the lineup. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status over the next few days.
