EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Sept. 29 (UPI) -- The New York Giants' backfield situation is as murky as any in the NFL.

On Thursday, starter Rashad Jennings was limited at practice. ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan reported Wednesday that Jennings is "unlikely" to play Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. Jennings is dealing with a thumb injury.

If you own Jennings, you should keep him on your roster. The 31-year-old back has 102 rushing yards on 31 carries this season. You should also look for help elsewhere. Orleans Darkwa should lead the Giants backfield in Week 4 in a tough match up against the Vikings. Darkwa is definitely worth a pick up, but he is not a safe option for your fantasy football team's starting lineup just yet.
