Are Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne playing today? Why 49ers WRs are off to quiet start in Week 8

The San Francisco 49ers don't have Ricky Pearsall once again in Week 8, so that means the team needs a bit more out of Kendrick Bourne and Jauan Jennings.

Bourne has been a revelation for San Francisco in recent weeks, but he did come back down to earth last week. Meanwhile, Jennings is in the midst of a disappointing season as he plays through injuries.

Early on in Week 8, both Bourne and Jennings have been quiet. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Are Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne playing today?

Yes, both players are active, they just haven't gotten involved over two drives, and neither one has been targeted, either.

Part of the problem is the Niners are off to a bad start offensively and they haven't mustered up a single first down yet.
