Jauan Jennings Player Props: Super Bowl Pick for 49ers WR
Jauan Jennings' production has been sporadic, but for much of the season, he has been good for a long reception or two per game.
Jennings started off the season with at least 19 yards in every game between Weeks 2-6. He also had a stretch in the middle of the season in which he went four straight games without breaking 10 yards or exceeding one catch.
It seems like in recent games he has reverted back to his early season form. Jennings has exceeded 25 yards in three of his last five games. He had a season-high five targets and 61 yards against Green Bay in the Divisional Round.
However, Jennings was used sparingly in the NFC Championship Game against Detroit, where he saw just two targets, which he turned into one catch for eight yards.

Jennings’ play can best be described as inconsistent, but the important thing is that he has been on the field. His snap counts have been higher, and even though his output was lower against Detroit, he still saw 28 snaps, including 19 on the outside.
This is an important note — if Jennings is lined up outside against the Chiefs, that's his best opportunity to go over these numbers. L’Jarius Sneed has been a force of nature as Kansas City’s outside CB1 while Trent McDuffie has also been lockdown from the slot.
The main weakness of this KC secondary would be at CB2, where they have Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson manning the positions. That’s not to say that those corners have been bad, but Jennings should still draw a more favorable matchup than if he were to be facing the Chiefs’ two stud corners.

Betting Picks & Predictions
Jennings is a big-play threat, averaging 13.9 yards per reception this season and 12.3 for his career. While he likely won’t see a ton of work, he could easily go over his yardage total with just one catch.
With that in mind, I like Jennings to go over his total of 13.5 yards. He could do that with just one or two receptions, which wouldn’t be a miracle based on his playing time and the matchup.
