Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 15: Rashad Jennings a low-upside, solid play
Rashad Jennings should be back in action. Should fantasy owners think about starting him in Week 15 vs. the Chiefs?

Oakland running back Rashad Jennings was not in action against the New York Jets in Week 14 due to a concussion. Even without him, the Raiders had some success in scoring against the Jets, with Marcel Reece picking up 123 rushing yards and a score on 19 carries.
This week, Jennings returns to action. He passed his concussion tests and should be ready for the game. His carries should “hold steady.”
Before the concussion, Jennings was one of the hottest backs in the NFL. In his last five games, he totaled 448 rushing yards, 148 receiving yards and four TDs.
Fantasy impact: The Raiders get a tough matchup this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been vulnerable to some good teams with the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers putting up points, but the bad teams have looked even worse. Jennings is going to be a tough guy to play in a most leagues with his low upside, so he's more of a flex play.
