Fantasy Impact: It's been reported that Jennings' injury is not believed to be serious at all, and he's not expected to miss any time. However, an ankle injury can often be a rusher's worst nightmare, so even though Jennings will probably play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, there's no telling how effective he'll be.
At this point in the fantasy season, it's crunch time and owners who play the matchup will probably be rewarded handsomely even if Jennings isn't in top form on Sunday. Remember that the Titans recently gave up 204 yards rushing to the Pittsburgh Steelers' Le'Veon Bell.
Feel free to pencil Jennings into your starting lineup; just be aware he might not be 100 percent.
