Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings (concussion) is listed as questionable and could miss the team's Week 14 game against the New York Jets. Jennings practiced on a limited basis this week but hasn't yet been cleared by the medical staff for contact.
Fantasy Impact: Jennings had filled in admirably for the often-injured Darren McFadden. Over the last five weeks, Jennings has rushed for 448 yards and four touchdowns and has chipped in 3.2 catches per game as well. He's averaged 18 carries over the last five games and seemed to provide the Raiders with some stability at the position until his concussion last week. Even if Jennings does suit up on Sunday, it's quite possible that he won't be given his full workload. With McFadden also out this week, fullback Marcel Reece is likely to see some more carries.
If Jennings does play on Sunday, owners need to think twice before starting him. He’s got a brutal matchup in the Jets and their top-ranked rushing defense. It’s also possible that he will lose carries to Reece. Despite his recent good play, Jennings would be a low-end flex option.
