New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings is officially listed as probable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Jennings sustained a knee injury early in the season and has been out since Oct. 5. The fact that he's probable -- a designation that is supposed to denote a 75 percent chance of playing -- is a good sign and virtually guarantees that he'll be active.
Rashad Jennings injury update: Giants RB probable; has fantasy value for Week 11

Jennings may have been healthy enough to play in Week 10, as he got in some limited practice reps prior to that game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Giants elected to give him some more rest, however, and now he's ready for a tough game against the 49ers. With the extra rest time, Jennings should be in line for a heavy workload against San Francisco's strong rush defense.
Fantasy Impact: Jennings was running well before he went down with an injury. He has 91 carries for 396 yards and two touchdowns this season. While the 49ers have the league’s seventh-ranked rush defense, Jennings is still worth a start. Fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about his injury or the matchup -- just get him in there.
