Analysis:

The Pistons still seem to eyeing a return around Christmas for Jennings, who recently hit a small snag in his recovery from Achilles surgery after developing a cyst behind one of his knees. Despite that minor setback, Jennings is still expected to steadily increase his activities over the next couple of weeks, and seems willing to embrace the sixth-man role the Pistons have on tap for him now that Reggie Jackson is solidified as the starting point guard. He might be worth a speculative pickup in deeper leagues now that his return is at least somewhat in sight.
