Jennings did not reel in his only target during Sunday's 23-13 win at New Orleans.
Jennings again got the second most snaps at wide receiver for the Vikings (47) in Week 5 with Jordan Addison (hamstring) out, but it only translated to one target on the afternoon. Jennings has failed to draw more than two targets in any game so far this season, and his role could be further diminished after Minnesota's bye in Week 6 if Addison is able to return to action.
Jennings is in line to see a boost in targets as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, due to Justin Jefferson (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.
Jennings' Vikings tenure has gotten off to an utterly forgettable start, as the veteran receiver has just one reception for one yard on three targets through two games. While Jennings was unable to capitalize on Jefferson's early exit from a Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, the former did log a season-high 47 snaps and ran 24 routes during the contest. Both numbers -- along with Jennings' target share -- will be in line to increase against Miami with Jefferson out, although the possibility Minnesota eventually has the luxury of turning to a run-heavy approach in the second half is also high considering the generally uncompetitive current state of the Dolphins.
Everyone sharing the ball with Jauan, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Jennings caught one of two targets for one yard Sunday in a 23-16 win against Tampa Bay.
Although Justin Jefferson (ankle) departed in the first half Sunday and didn't return, Jennings didn't see an increase in his production. Jennings did, however, post an 80 percent offensive snap share, and he figures to slide into the No. 2 wideout role alongside Jordan Addison on Sunday versus Miami if Jefferson can't suit up. Even with that in mind, Jennings has produced just one catch (on three targets) through two contests, so expectations should be held in check regardless of Jefferson's status.

Jennings won't play in Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Bears due to a personal matter, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran receiver missed practice all week while tending to a family matter, and the Vikings officially ruled out Jennings on the final injury report of the week Friday. Jennings played 30 snaps in his Vikings debut in Week 1 against the Packers and failed to bring in his only target, and his absence versus Chicago should open up more opportunities for both Tai Felton and Myles Price.

Jennings signed a one-year deal with the Vikings on Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran wideout's contract could be worth up to $13 million with incentives. The fit between Jennings, who was one of the bigger-name remaining free agents at any position, and the Vikings appears to be solid, considering he could serve as an ideal No. 3 receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison while catching passes from either J.J. McCarthy or offseason addition Kyler Murray.
