ANALYSIS
Jennings didn't do enough over the course of the first two preseason games to warrant a spot among the final 80 players vying to make Detroit's 53-man roster. With 28 NFL appearances split between the Browns and Titans under his belt, Jennings could provide an experienced option for any team looking for help on kick returns.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2016
Jennings, who spent the past two seasons with the Titans, profiles as a possible kick return option for the Chargers, although he was essentially supplanted in that role in 2019. The 27-year-old has a total of 27 career receptions in three NFL seasons, and thus isn't expected to act as anything more than wide receiver depth should he fail to win the return job.
Jennings reached the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2015 with the Cleveland Browns but has been a member of the Titans since the 2017 season. Though he hasn't made a big impact as a receiver -- he has just 25 catches across his four seasons -- Jennings has created a niche for himself as a kick returner. He made quite an impact as a member of the special teams unit in 2018, returning a kick for a touchdown in Week 1 while totaling 22 returns for 689 yards across the entirety of the season. Additionally, his 31.7 average yards per return was good enough to set a new franchise record. While Jennings will once again be buried on the wide receiver depth chart, he will almost certainly make the team as a kick return specialist once again in 2019.
Across four total appearances in 2015, Jennings amassed just 14 receptions for 117 yards, good for a middling 8.4 YPC. Nonetheless, he remains a long shot to make the Brown's final roster.
