He lost both of his best lineman, things aren't getting better for him.

Ive been trying to trade MJD since week 1 with no success. Been targetting Roddy Whtie.

MJD puts up stinky points on my team every week.

Dumped him while I could. MJD and Colston for Gore.
Can't see him being anything more than a borderline RB2 for the rest of the year. Only hope is that he gets traded.

This seems to be the most logical approach with him. His first 4 games were all against teams that were in the top 10 for points allowed to RBs. Then, he put up a mediocre day against STL. Unfortunately, it's unlikely he gets traded and will be a flex player the rest of the year.

I wish MJD was moving forward.
He has one more TD than Ridley. The jax defense is not good. Unless get gets injured, he should score some garbage TDs.
According to today's Miami Herald: "Jacksonville ran for a season-high 96 yards against the Rams. Jones-Drew finished with 70 yards on 17 carries, though 68 of his yards came after contact.". If true, maybe MJD is back.

You have to love how Jax gets inside the five yard-line and the dumb OC calls for 3 straight passes before the inevitable fg attempt. He doesn't even get any screens anymore despite blitz after blitz. At least Henne dumped off a couple to him last week. I think Gabbert must have peripheral vision problems amongst other issues. Poor MJD (and owners).

Not sure I want anyone on the Jags on my team. LOL

now see this isn't a good post at all. Blackmon and shorts are very startable even in 10 man leagues

I've got some good WR depth and trying to bolster my thin RB corp. I'm seeing what I can do with an offer of VJ in a swapping of players in disappointing situations. Though I do think VJ could bounce back some with Glennon, it's hard to trust a rookie QB. I think MJD will be servicable going forward if I get bit by the injury bug and it's not like he hasn't performed before on some bad teams.

Shorts hasn't shown me a reason to think he is startable, Blackmon has one game in an offense that is abysmal on a team that is abysmal.

i have tried to literally GIVE him away.
11 team league. 15-man rosters.
people think he's done. and for this year, he probably he is.
anyone in here actually watch the games? when the jags fall way behind, what is his role? is he getting on the field late in the 3rd and in the 4th when they are behind by 21+ points and in an all-pass offense?
i mean, he only has 6 catches all year.

You have literally sent out offers with MJD on your side of the deal and nothing on the other owner's side of the deal?I doubt that.

yep. no one is biting. i basically said i would take a 4th-round pick in a 5-round draft - equivalent of a K/DB - in next year's draft, just so i can open up a roster spot and pick up a FA. my team sucks so i'm looking to next year. can't get a nibble.
he's the 35th-ranked RB in my league. he's the 458th-ranked player overall.
fred jackson, joique bell, danny woodhead, pierre thomas, jacquizz rodgers are all free agents in this year, so i guess i'm not surprised i can't get a nibble on MJD.
we have another draft after week 8. i don't think he's one of my 10 best players and I am buried in last place. honestly, i think i will probably just release him after week 8 IF HE DOESN'T IMPROVE.

MJD put up 10 points last week, and considering I have Stephen Jackson (injured), Doug Martin (on bye last week and has been sort of a bust), and had Stevan Ridley (total bust that I traded for CJ2K who put up 17 points last week), that really helped me out. And I literally picked up Pettis from FA just to make the trade. I lost nothing, and got a serviceable running back. And MJD actually looked pretty good last week, and I think he will continue to improve. So, he was the sucker.bicycle_seat_sniffer said:

I might be a couple weeks away from releasing him too.
The only reason I haven't done it yet is because my releasing him would allow somebody to pick him up and have him as a $6 keeper for next year. I really don't want to throw that out there.
The best trade option so far has been for Donald Brown (which was retracted Sunday).
At this point, I'm just trying to send him to a team that I think would hang onto him (so he can't be a $6 keeper) for a player that I would drop.
Just traded away Matt Ryan and Dwayne Bowe for Tom Brady and MJD. The Julio and Roddy injuries scare me, and who else does JAX have to run the ball?
I don't have much hope for MJD, but I do agree that he looked fairly good last week after Henne came in. He broke off two or three good runs after Henne came in late in the game. One in particular I remember is when he ran to the outside and outran the Rams defenders for a nice 10 yard gain! He didn't look slow at all to me. I think if Henne keeps starting with Blackmon back along with Shorts and Lewis things will open up. With this being said, if they put Gabbert back in all bets are off and MJD will be fairly of useless!

really? shorts has more yards and just as many catches as AJ green. Let that sink in for a minute
shorts is currently WR17 and WR21 in my ppr redraft leagues. Very startable
Im starting to think all you pay attention to is the patriots
