Janoris Jenkins Fantasy Stats

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins to their practice squad on Monday. Jenkins was released by the Tennessee Titans in March and never latched on with another team until now. In 14 games with the Titans in 2021, Jenkins had 54 tackles (38 solo), an interception, six passes defensed and a forced fumble. The 34-year-old will provide veteran depth for the Niners secondary the rest of the season with Jason Verrett (Achilles) and Emmanuel Moseley (knee) done for the year due to injuries. Jenkins was a Pro Bowler in 2016 with the New York Giants, when he had a sack, 49 tackles (44 solo), five tackles for loss, three interceptions, 18 passes defensed and a forced fumble in 15 starts.

The New Orleans Saints released cornerback Janoris Jenkins on Thursday, according to a source informed of the situation. Jenkins was due a $1.2 million fully guaranteed roster bonus, but before releasing him, the Saints turned it into a signing bonus and spread it out over two years, saving them an extra $600,000 against the salary cap. The veteran defensive back started 13 games for the team in 2020 and was a key member of their shutdown secondary. Cutting the 32-year-old will leave a big hole in New Orleans' secondary next to Marshon Lattimore. The latest move still leaves the Saints over the salary cap threshold, so there will surely be more moves to come as they try to get in under the salary cap for the 2021 season.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) left Sunday's contest versus Denver shortly before halftime due to a knee injury before eventually being marked questionable to return. He never did make it back to the field, but it appears that he has avoided a serious knee injury, with Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reporting that Jenkins will be "fine." Jenkins logged one pass defended before his departure, with the Saints Defense finishing with a dominant performance in their Week 12 win, primarily due to its matchup against a practice squad wide receiver masquerading at quarterback. With Jenkins likely in the mix down the stretch, fantasy managers can continue to rely on a New Orleans defensive unit that entered Sunday having allowed the third-lowest yards per game average in the NFL.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The veteran defender has two interceptions and nine passes defender this year so far, as well as 37 tackles. If he misses time, the Saints Defense would take a slight hit in value, though aside from a Week 15 meeting with the Saints, they're past playing most of the top quarterbacks on their schedule.

The New Orleans Saints signed cornerback Janoris Jenkins to a two-year, $16.75 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to a source. So Jenkins will make $27 million overall for three years, with $10.2 million in guarantees. He'll have two option years after getting all the money he was owed for 2020 up front. The Saints can keep him for a $10 million base and a $1.2 million roster bonus in 2021 and a $5.25 million base and a $500,000 roster bonus in 2022. The 31-year-old played in just two games for New Orleans last year after coming over from the Giants, and he had five interceptions in his 15 games overall. He should be a full-time starter for the Saints in 2020.

Teams are expressing interest in trading for both New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins and Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley with the cornerback market heating up with the Oct. 30 deadline quickly approaching. The Eagles, Patriots and Steelers are among the teams exploring their options. The Giants and Raiders are both well out of the race already and are in rebuilding mode, with the Raiders no secrets to trades, already dealing All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack and wide receiver Amari Cooper. Neither Jenkins nor Conley have played very well this year, but they could be an upgrade for a team in need of secondary help.

The New York Giants placed cornerback Janoris Jenkins (ankle) on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, according to Jordan Raanan on Twitter. Jenkins performed well over the last two weeks after being called out by the coaching staff for a lack of effort in the previous weeks. Without Jenkins in the secondary, the Giants should be even more susceptible to the pass, and the deep ball in particular. The Giants face the Raiders in Oakland this week.

Following the New York Giants Week 12 loss to the Washington Redskins on Thursday night, star cornerback Janoris Jenkins (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot, per Art Stapleton on Twitter. Jenkins suffered an apparent ankle injury during his interception return that was the Giants only touchdown of the game. If Jenkins is out for any length of time, that will certainly hamper an already poor secondary.

The New York Giants reinstated cornerback Janoris Jenkins from his one-game suspension Tuesday. Jenkins was suspended by the team for Week 9 against the Rams for violating team rules. His absence was felt in the 51-17 loss, as New York's defense allowed 311 passing yards. Jenkins' return will certainly be a boost for the G-Men, but their D/ST in fantasy will remain more of a long-shot streaming option in Week 10, even in a solid matchup with the winless 49ers.

New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been suspended for violating team rules during the bye week, according to sources. He will not play in Week 9 against the Rams. Jenkins is one of the better cover corners in the league, and it'll be a downgrade to New York's defense/special teams this weekend. It's also good news for the likes of Rams receivers Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods.
