Washington running back Alfred Morris (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New York Giants, according to the team's official website. Morris appeared to suffer the injury in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but was still able to finish the game.

Fantasy Impact: Morris is currently averaging over 84 rushing yards per game and four yards per carry so far this season. He’s quite a way from the numbers he put up as a rookie, but he did set the bar quite high. Now in his third season, Morris is getting lots of touches on the ground but has yet to notch any receptions.
While that does lower is value slightly in leagues that count catches, it doesn’t mean that Morris is a bad play against the Giants. New York only ranks in the middle of the pack this season in terms of the number of fantasy points given up to running backs this season.
Fantasy owners should start Morris against a Giants team that has generally struggled so far this season.
