The Jacksonville Jaguars, suffering from a rash of injuries, have turned back to Rashad Jennings as the starting RB. Jennings started five games when Maurice Jones-Drew went down with a foot injury, but got benched for Jalen Parmele, who subsequently tore his groin and went on IR.
Rashad Jennings named new Jaguars starter, fantasy value still low
Rashad Jennings is the starting RB by default thanks to injuries. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jennings has been ineffective in his playing time with just 263 yards, two TDs and 2.8 YPC.
Fantasy Impact: Who knows what kind of voodoo magic Jennings is using, because he’s done nothing to earn the job and the team is only starting him because they have literally nobody else. He’s just a stopgap until MJD comes back.
Fantasy owners have been burned by Jennings once, and they shouldn’t be fooled again. Leave him on the wire.
