Darren McFadden injury update: Rashad Jennings fantasy owners in a tough spot

The 26-year-old back has miss the last two weeks with a hamstring strain and he did not practice all last week. He is expected to be at 100 percent for the game, though.
In his absence, Rashad Jennings has been terrific with at least 100 yards from scrimmage in his last three games. The Raiders have been able to move the ball and have scored at least two touchdowns in each of those games, thanks largely to their running back.
Fantasy impact: Jennings was all set to be a must-start running back, but this news really hurts. The Cowboys are going to have some issues in stopping the run with linebacker Sean Lee out, so the Raiders might be able to move the ball. Fantasy owners should probably steer clear of this situation for this week. However, both players should be owned in all leagues.
