None of this is different from the pre-draft process. If you didn't consider him a reach in the top 5 in the offseason, you shouldn't consider him a reach now, at least not considering these factors.

The reasons may differ but the results are the same, there was speculation that MJD was not healthy. Whether or not that is the case, depending on when you drafted, You were warned.

I don't understand why they put in Jennings like this when they get down. You would think you would want to get your best athlete on the field when you are down.

Yes, but we're not talking pre-draft any longer. No one could forecast the Jags OL would be this bad, or the defense this bad. Based on what we see with the Jags, there is no reason to believe he will even come close to his value as a top 5 pick. And I haven't even mentioned his potential injury that's been lingering all year. Of course I'm not saying drop the guy, but if you can sucker someone into a "buy low" trade, then I'd get what you can get for him. I know I plan too.

I don't know about you.. but I thought during the off season that MJD would get a ton of work this year and have a dcent passing game to support him (not great passing game but ok--Obviously Garrard stinks--bit MSW and M Thomas are at least average WRs). Instead Garrard goes 8-22.... the line is horrible.... how did they not draft OL?

I'm not saying that he will return top 5 value; I was just saying that injury concerns and not a bad team would be the main reason why he does/doesn't return his top 5 billing. He's still averaging a not-too-unsightly 3.7 ypc (Jahvid Best has a 3.1 ypc, for comparison), so I wouldn't proclaim that armageddon is imminent, but there's certainly a reason to be worried.

Worst thing to happen for Jax (and subsequently MJD owners) is McCown going down. He looked like the best QB on that team. Garard has regressed to what we all thought he was. An average QB that put together a few good games and fooled people into thinking he was more than he is. Now he's hesitant. He doesn't make good decisions and he rarely checks down to the TE or RB when he should. He has that deer in the headlights look and it will cost Del Rio his job.

The only thing worse than MJD's performance this year has been his fantasy show. No disrespect.

21 points for 88 yards rushing and 2 catches for 1 yard. Why don't you give him a billion points a yard.

Not only does his qb, oline, and coach suck its painfully obvious that he is also harboring some sort of injury that is taking his explosive first step away. If I owned him I would be looking to move him asap. There is no way out of that maze.

Good luck. You can't move him. He is damaged goods. You drafted him, you eat him.

Sounds like you live in a non-reality of abnormal leagues in the modern NFL, where RBBC rules the RB world. Time to put down the eight-track player and upgrade to an iPod, gramps.

Do you guys also give point-per-target to the wr's?

Nope.

Points per step if they go in motion... ... 22 pts... he got me 8 today and I get tons of bonuses past standard scoring -- 100 yards, 200 yards, any TD over 20 (progressively higher the longer the TD). that was 8 pts.

I recommend the post title be modified to:MJD bust of the year (except in oddball scoring systems).

So if sold today what can you get for him RB wise?
McFadden, Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson?

I wouldn't give Benson for him.. he had a decent day today so he's shown more life than MJD.. and he's in a better offense. Brown--I personally wouldn't--he hasn't been spectacular but solid. If I had McFadden I might think about it--only because I think Bush takes his job at some point (injury most likely). I have to think there is an injury that's not being talked about.. MJD is too go (even with awful O line) to hvae these horrible stats...

How about we label it "Hyperbolic overstatement in Week 3 of the year" and then recognize a logical scoring system that awards 1 point per yard and 0.5 points per carry in an age where RBBC dominates the land, grasshopper.

Hey: Deshaun Foster is in the fantasy hall of fame with points per carry system!Points per carry? Great idea...13 carries for 0 yards is worth much more than 2 touchdowns!

Hmm, since I have pretty much no chance of getting anything of real value out of him, maybe I'll just convince my league to adopt this rad scoring system on the fly.

As bad is OAK is this year, McFadden is the shining star in fantasy right now for the value pick. All I can say is...25 for 105 and a TD and Bush gets 3 for 13...No way the McFadden owner trades away for MJD at this point in time...
