Jennings had three receptions for only 15 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jets.
Jennings is still starting over DeVante Parker (no receptions Sunday) but you have to believe that will be coming to an end shortly as the Dolphins are struggling on offense and could use an infusion of talent.

Jennings caught just one of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
With four catches on 11 targets for 39 yards through the first three weeks of the season, Jennings is off the fantasy radar for now, given that he is behind both Jarvis Landry and Rishard Matthews in the Dolphins' wideout pecking order.

Jennings caught all three of his targets for 29 yards in Sunday's game against the Redskins.
There were questions about what role the veteran would play in a relatively deep Dolphins receiving corps, and he appeared to be nothing more than an ancillary option on Sunday. Miami figures to throw a lot this season and there will be targets to go around, but Jennings simply won't see consistent volume the way things stand. Next on the schedule is a trip to Jacksonville in Week 2.

Jennings, Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills are listed as the starting wide receivers on Miami's initial regular-season depth chart, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports.
Although the only real question for Week 1 was whether Stills or Rishard Matthews would get the final starting spot, Jennings doesn't have great job security beyond the first couple weeks of the season. First-round draft pick DeVante Parker (foot) may be eased in initially, but it won't be surprising if he has the starting job in a few weeks. With the Dolphins boasting a deep receiving corps, Jarvis Landry is the only player without serious workload-related concerns.

Jennings isn't playing Saturday in Carolina.
Although Jennings' elbow injury isn't considered to be severe, the Dolphins will play it safe with the veteran wide receiver. His next opportunity to fit in some preseason reps will arrive Saturday, Aug. 29 against the Falcons.
Thu Aug 20 201518:09Jennings missed practice Thursday with elbow injury
Jennings missed practice Thursday with an elbow injury, according to the Miami Herald.
The injury is not considered to be serious but Jennings may not play in Saturday's preseason game. Jennings has had a strong camp and with DeVante Parker (foot) and Kenny Stills not at full strength could play a bigger role in the offense than expected.

Jennings has impressed the Dolphins coaching staff with more than just his play, reports Miami Herald's Armando Salguero.
Jennings wasn't promised much when he signed with Miami but he does know the offense and has gone out of his way to mentor the young Dolphin receiving corps. Jarvis Landry is the obvious number one wideout for Miami but Jennings is looking more and more like the number two receiver for Miami entering this season.

Jennings' (elbow) deal with the Dolphins is for two years and $8 million, the Sun Sentinel reports.
While the signing of Jennings does not preclude the Dolphins adding wideout depth early in the upcoming NFL draft, it would appear to lessen the team's urgency to do so. In any case, Jennings -- who will turn 32 on Sept.21 -- adds valuable experience to a Miami receiving corps that also rosters Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills and Rishard Matthews. On the heels of a 2014 season in which he caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns for the Vikings, Jennings could end up with some deep league utility this year, but it seems unlikely that he'll approach the production that he enjoyed in his heyday with the Packers.
Wed Apr 22 201518:11Greg Jennings:
The Dolphins are slated to sign Jennings, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Jennings, who caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns with the Vikings last season, adds depth and experience to a Miami wideout corps that was previously headed by Kenny Stills and Jarvis Landry. The 31-year-old Jennings will thus be reunited in Miami with head coach Philbin, who was the wideout's offensive coordinator while the two were both with the Packers. While Jennings could carve out some deep league utility this year, given that he'll have to compete with Stills, Landry and TE Jordan Cameron for passing targets in the Miami offense, Jennings figures to be hard-pressed to approach the numbers that he put up during his prime years with Green Bay.
Mon Apr 13 201511:36Jennings (elbow) visiting Jaguars on Monday
Jennings (elbow) is visiting the Jaguars on Monday, the Florida Times-Union reports.
While it's unclear if the Jaguars will land Jennings, if the 31-year-old wideout does join the team, he'll provide a veteran complement to second-year pass-catchers Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee. Jennings is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six TDs for the Vikings.
Tue Apr 7 201512:58Greg Jennings: Visiting With Dolphins
Jennings is meeting with the Dolphins on Tuesday, NFL.com reports.
The Dolphins recently hosted Michael Crabtree, who is now visiting with the Raiders. If Jennings ultimately signs with his former offensive coordinator in Miami, he'll likely be behind all of Kenny Stills, Jarvis Landry and Jordan Cameron in the pecking order for targets. The Dolphins' interest in veterans indicates that they aren't content with Rishard Matthews as the No. 3 wide receiver. It makes sense to target a receiver who's more comfortable on the outside, given that Landry typically plays out of the slot in three-wide sets.
Sun Mar 22 201515:44Jennings (elbow) visited Panthers on Saturday
Jennings (elbow) visited the Panthers on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer reports.
Though Jennings -- who was released by the Vikings earlier this month -- wasn't immediately signed by the Panthers, if he ends up doing so, he'd be a solid addition to a Carolina receiving corps that could use some added depth beyond the likes of Kelvin Benjamin and Jerricho Cotchery.
Mon Mar 16 201516:18Jennings underwent minor elbow surgery this offseason
Jennings, who was released by the Vikings over the weekend, underwent minor elbow surgery this offseason, NFL.com reports.
Jennings' release from the Vikings was listed with a "failed physical" designation, which stems from his previous elbow procedure. While Jennings is expected to be fine moving forward, the Vikings are still responsible for his rehab costs. With that situation clarified, Jennings should now garner interest from teams looking to add a veteran pass-catcher with plenty of starting experience.
Sat Mar 14 201514:16Greg Jennings: Cut By Minnesota
Jennings was cut by Minnesota on Saturday.
The acquisition of Mike Wallace led the Vikings to cut the aging Jennings, who is only two years removed from signing a five-year, $47.5 million deal with Minnesota. Jennings is good enough to contribute somewhere in the NFL, but it might not be in a starting role with age 32 arriving in September. He caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns last year.
Sun Dec 28 201411:39Jennings (hamstring) active for Sunday's game against Chicago
Jennings (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Jennings hasn't topped 60 yards in a game since Week 9, but the Bears have one of the weakest pass defenses in the league, and Jennings does have four touchdowns in his last five games. The hamstring injury is not a concern.
Fri Dec 26 201416:10Jennings (hamstring) probable for Sunday's game against Chicago
Jennings (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Jennings doesn't have a high ceiling these days, but he has a great matchup this week and should see a steady target count with Jarius Wright (back) and Kyle Rudolph (ankle) highly questionable.
Wed Dec 24 201420:40Greg Jennings: (Hamstring) Limited Wednesday
Jennings (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Vikings' official site reports.
For the second week in a row, Jennings has been capped in Wednesday's iteration of drills, as he's likely been afforded a veteran's respite. Meanwhile, he's certainly clicked with rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, as they've connected for a touchdown in four of the last five contests. With an exploitable matchup on tap Sunday versus the Bears, who have allowed 13.6 YPC and three scores to WR in the past three games, Jennings' touchdown streak could extend to three outings.
Sun Dec 21 201421:53Jennings (hamstring) had three catches on three targets for 56 y...
Jennings (hamstring) had three catches on three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Dolphins.
Despite failing to reach 60 receiving yards in a game since before the team's Week 10 bye, Jennings has four touchdowns in his last five games, as quarterback Teddy Bridgewater continues to look his way in the red zone. Jennings has a good shot to continue his fine play, as the Vikings will face off against the Bears in Week 17, a team that is tied for the most passing touchdowns allowed this season.
Sun Dec 21 201411:34Jennings (hamstring) active for Sunday's game against Dolphins
Jennings (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Owners gambling on Jennings in recent weeks have benefitted from his string of touchdowns (three in his last four games), but it's never wise to bank on touchdowns, especially when it comes to wide receivers. Although Miami has struggled a bit against the pass recently, it still ranks fourth in the NFL in passing yards allowed, so this is far from an ideal matchup for Jennings.
Fri Dec 19 201416:09Jennings (hamstring) probable for Sunday's game against Miami
Jennings (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against Miami.
Jennings has touchdowns in three of his last four games, but his yardage totals are weak and it's hard to be optimistic about his fantasy prospects against a tough Miami pass defense.
