MJD Likely Out an "Extended Period" (1 Viewer)

From Rotoworld:

Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) has already been ruled out for Week 8, and will likely be sidelined an "extended period."

I see parallels with Benson's situation earlier this year. Hope it isn't a Lisfranc.

This is exactly why you don`t re-do RBs deals. Jags have to be happy they held firm on this one.

This is exactly why MJD wanted to redo a deal. I think after Bensons injury, didn't MJD tweet something along those lines? Or was it a WR injury?Regardless, I see why MJD wanted to redo his deal, but at the same time he signed the one he has now, so the only person he can gripe to is himself. Don't extend a contract past your prime years. Have it expire when you are 27-28 and cash in at that point.
 
From a fantasy standpoint, with the Jags at 1-5, by the time he comes back there may be no need to play MJD. Could be the last time we see MJD this year.

 
it's too quiet for it to be anything good IMO. You usually hear something from the team, media, etc. but this has been very tightly controlled.

 
@GeneFrenette Mularkey: there was Liz-Franc concern about MJD, has an "arch sprain," but hasn't ruled out Liz-Franc.

Sounds eerie familiar to Benson's prognosis and the result of his injury.
 
Yeah, he has a 4.8 career ypc playing in a run oriented team

I'm sure Ballard & Green will perform better

 
This is why I've been saving my #1 waiver and didn't use it on ####### like Ballard and F. Jones.

Obviously sucks for MJD and MJD owners but glad I'll be able to grab Jennings.

 
Looking at early waiver wire report, it looks like Rashad Jennings is the top free agent to pick up and no doubt someone will blow the bulk of their budget on him. I dropped him last week even though I own MJD and am almost out of my blind bid budget. Now I wish I still had him, I won’t lie. But the reason I didn’t value him was that MJD is a phenomenal player in his own right, but other than one game against the porous Colts defense has been fairly mediocre. The price for dropping Jennings and an extra defense was Alex Green and Jonathan Dwyer. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade either for Jennings.

It can be argued that he’s now the only Jaguars player worth rostering. So Jennings with a bad QB with an injured shoulder and no WR’s is supposed to step up and produce MJD worthy numbers? Could happen I guess, but I’m still not feeling it and I think he’ll go for a wildly high bid in my league. If MJD wasn’t getting RB1 numbers and barely RB2 numbers, just what will Jennings bring consistently around an offense that has hot smelly steam coming off it?

 
I edited this morning's blog post after Mularkey's press conference.

Mike Mularkey said that Jones-Drew's injury is in the middle of his foot and that, while he's not sure of the specifics, a Lisfranc injury cannot be ruled out and he expects Jones-Drew to miss an extended period. That all but confirms that Jones-Drew has a Lisfranc sprain to me, and suggests the Jaguars may be sending the results of his imaging studies to specialists for further evaluation. I hope I'm reading the tea leaves incorrectly, but until we hear something very specific to the contrary, expect Jones-Drew to miss at least 6-8 weeks.
Just my speculation, but I don't like the tone of Mularkey's comments at all.
 
Jennings has been unimpressive, to say the least. All the talk of him having a prolonged chance at the starting job, while MJD got into football shape, went right out the window after week 1. I wouldn't expect much out of this guy.

All that said and Jennings yesterday scored more fantasy points in standard and PPR than Green or Dwyer have ever put up in a game. You seem to be working pretty hard to not regret cutting Jennings.

Not so much. If only they played the Raiders every week. Then I'd be kicking myself. :banned:

He's played 5 games and 3 were against pretty tough defenses (Min, Hou, Chi)....one bad defense which he gashed and a Cincy game where he didn't do much and the average rank of those defenses was 13.2....Down the stretch they have GB (17), Det (10), Ind (26), Hou (5), Tenn (25), Buff (32) and Jets (30) for an average of 20.7....big difference in schedule strength. MJD would have tore it up in the 2nd half which is why I was pushing so hard for him over the last week. Luckily, I drove up the price but didn't get him...now I'm going hard after Jennings.

Raiders aren't chopped liver run defense wise (14th)
 
Another hold out/injury victim. Causation or just coincidence? Doesn't seem like the kind of injury pre season reps would help avoid.

Jennings has 157 rushes for 751 yards (4.8 YPC), 6 TDS, 51 catches for 389. All those games were not against the Raiders.

Yes and no. Jennings got injured in the 1st game and missed the next 2. Agree that he wasn't used much in the next 2 games until this happened vs Oak. As banger said, if nothing else I like parts of his remaining schedule and he is a player that has a small sample size of past success.Jax is awful so I am not looking for RB1 numbers. But midlevel RB2 numbers in PPR is not out of the question.

I would tend to say there is nothing to link this injury with the holdout. the guy had 86 carries for the season when the injury occured and it occured after 5 full games of action.

Yeah this late into the season the holdout is irrelevant. Mjd wa as much in football shape as the next guy. Injuries happen. They suck, but that's football. RBS get injured every weekend holdout or no holdout. I just feel bad or him BC this injury (if it is a bad season ending one) will prevent him from getting anoter big contract at his age. Tough break for an awesome player. He should have continued his holdout until week 10 and demanded a trade.
 
Brutal.

MJD wasn't able to do anything in with Gabbert and this OL but Jennings is going to be a good pickup? I don't get that one.

I wouldn't roster a single Jag.

Yesterday showed that Gabbert is more important to the Jags offense than MJD, due more to Henne's incompetence than anytging else
 
Anyone cutting MJD in redraft leagues? Obviously those with deep benches and/or IR spots can roster him. But for those of us with less flexibility, it may be necessary to cut MJD in order to grab Jennings. Premature to dump him? :unsure:

I'd be more inclined to blame this on his touches from last year over the hold out. Seems every year the carries leader from the previous year goes down.
 
lmfao guys... it wasnt a muscle or hammy tweak. his ankle/foot got rolled up on during a tackle. had nothing to do with the number of carries he got last year or the holdout this year. its a contact sport and he got a contact related injury
