Packers unsure about Greg Jennings for Monday Night Football

The Packers were without Greg Jennings on Thursday Night Football with a groin injury and despite having 11 days between games, they are still unsure about the star receiver’s availability for Monday Night Football against the Seahawks. He’s been limited in practice all week, though, for what it’s worth, he says he’ll play, saying “It’s going to be something I’m going to have to push through right now. If I can get close to 100 percent, that’s all I’m looking for. I’m not looking to be 100 percent because that will never happen, ever, probably in my career. Ever.” The Packers have listed him as questionable.

At this point, it sounds more likely than not that he’ll be out there, but he will probably be limited and facing a tough Seattle defense, he’s less than an ideal fantasy option, especially since he does play on Monday Night Football. He doesn’t sound like a true game time decision, but if he’s a late scratch, you could be left without another option and he doesn’t have a true handcuff because in his absence, James Jones caught just 2 passes for -1 yards last week. Jones and Randall Cobb should continue to split snaps in his absence and cancel each other out in fantasy. Unless you have a startable option in that game (not a whole lot of those after Jordy Nelson, who should be in your lineup regardless), I’d say bench Jennings unless you absolutely have to start him.
