If Jennings Misses Time
Next man up: Myles Price
Myles Price is next on the Vikings depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Jennings misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Carson Wentz would lose one of his main options.
