7. Rashad Jennings-RB-Oakland Raiders (44.8%)

Even though he got next to no help from the Raiders passing game,  Jennings finished with a solid game against the Giants this week as he filled in for an ailing Darren McFadden. Jennings ran for 88 yards on 20 carries and aded 19 yards on two catches. Overall, he turned in a gritty, hard-nosed performance which kept Oakland in the game until late even though Terrelle Pryor against struggled to get the passing game in gear.

Jennings value is directly tied to McFadden’s availability since Jennings doesn’t see the field much when McFadden’s healthy. If McFadden misses another week which is entirely possible, then Jennings will fill in again as the Raiders featured running back.

If that happens this week, he’ll face the Texans defense in Houston this week as the Raiders continue to search for their first road win of the season. Houston’s run defense hasn’t been great allowing over 100 yards a game which could lead to a solid game for Jennings. He’s a short-term option since his value plummets with McFadden returns, but he’s still worth noting if you need a back this week.
