Jauan Jennings has been one of the top receivers for Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers in 2025.

In 12 games this year, Jennings has already set a new career-high in touchdowns with seven, and has also tallied 44 receptions for 495 yards. The 28-year-old has scored a touchdown in each of the last three games, including a two-touchdown outing versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.

Though Jennings has been on fire lately, he's been quiet so far in the 49ers' Week 16 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts.

Is Jauan Jennings playing tonight?

Yes, Jennings is active and playing tonight. However, he has yet to snag a reception.

Jennings didn't even receive a target from quarterback Brock Purdy during San Francisco's first two offensive drives, which both ended in touchdowns. We'll see if the electric playmaker can get it going sooner rather than later.
