MJD (1 Viewer)

This thread is all speculation right now. The fact that Drew didn't practice all week doesn't confirm him sitting out sunday, in fact my guess is he's gonna play being less than 100% and take away the value of himself AND jennings as far as fantasy goes.
delusional MJD owner......... Time to make other plans.
 
Well, this sucks for me.

We have limited roster moves and mine are gone with so many injuries to my WRs.

So now Im stuck with Beanie or Barber if MJD can't go.
MJD, Peterson, Gates owner here. Yeah, the league WAS mine. I really hope MJD doesn't play if he is only going to get 10 - 15 touches. I'd rather just plug in Jennings.

Who knows, Britt, Jennings and some other fill in might work out. Not counting on my christmas bonus from FF this year though now.
And TO... and Dez Bryant... and Lee Evans... :thumbup:

 
Maurice Jones-Drew-RB-Jaguars Dec. 24 - 1:39 pm et

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) is out for Week 16 barring a "miraculous" turnaround.

Jones-Drew's knee is still swollen, so the Jags want to give it rest and time to heal. The plan makes sense, as the Redskins' defense is decimated, and backup Rashad Jennings' light has flipped on with a 6.8 yards-per-carry average. Jones-Drew will presumably return in Week 17 at Houston. Jennings shouldn't struggle for 16-20 touches Sunday and 100 or more total yards.

I don't know how many touches but it will be a lot and he's good. This is awesome, I just picked up Jennings.

I really don't get posts like this..how is Jennings possibly available in any league? MJD hasn't practiced all week, the MJD owner just isn't paying attention? Actually, why isn't he already owned as a hand cuff?
 
I don't have any tape of Rashad Jennings anyone know who to compare him too? What type of runner he is. His YPC is great and seems like he catches balls out of the back field with consistency. Trying to gauge how easily he can fill MJD's shoes this week

 
Oh well. MJD contributed to a few wins for me this year. Last week's semi-final win wasn't one of those weeks.

Jennings has long been rostered elsewhere in my league.

Pickings are slim, Choice or Ryan Mathews on my roster. Derrick Ward on the WW.

Rolling with Choice for now under the premise that the Boyz roll easily in AZ and Choice as the healthiest of the Dallas troika will get more of the garbage time touches.

Mathews is healthy and could always break off a long TD (20+ yards) and I do think that SD rolls easily in Cincy this week.

Some of the MJD owners may have not made the playoffs or are already eliminated.

I'd compare him to any guy that scores enough to help win your fantasy championship. If you got him and you need him, put him in and consider yourself lucky.

bc the MJD owner isn't in the playoffs..

He's very good. Run's like Jamal Charles and CJ..He's averaging over 6 YPC this year
 
As an MJD owner all year I am actually happy if he sits. He hasn't shown the burst in recent weeks and Jennings is fresh. Jennings has played well enough to be used in the 2 minute offense so his pass protection is trusted by coaches. I like a healthy Jennings better than a questionable MJD right now. This is comforting news IF he sits. Washington's run defense is horrid and Jennings is the play. JENNINGS IN!

Same for our league.
 
Does Deji Karim get any carries this week?
good question. I assume Jennings is the main guy for this week. Maybe 75% of the carries? Anyone have any ideas?
People who follow the NFL need to get their heads in the game. Karim was the backup at one point this season and then he WENT IN THE DOGHOUSE and STAYED IN THE DOGHOUSE....regulated to kickoff duty. Jennings has been the backup and ran with it. Karim can't pass protect. I don't see Jennings losing all but 1 series in this game. Jennings is too valueable in terms of pass protection and the Jags throw a ton. OUT! :towelwave:

Jennings becomes a top 5 play this week with MJD OUT! OUT! Luv MJD but thanks for giving me this news now instead of Sunday.

 
This thread is for those who have handcuffed MJD and are in the title game. MJD has screwed me the last 2 years in the title game. THANK YOU JENNINGS!

HUH? Last week was the first time he did not top 100 yards in 6 straight weeks?
 
rashad jennings COME ON DOWN... you are the next nobody to go down in fantasy lore as the difference making x-factor in the title game.

"i shoulda won but some ####### guy named rashad jennings had 100 and 2 TD boo hoo!"

etc

 
I saw the news on MJD this monring and low and behold there was Jennings sitting on WW. Needless to say I snatched him for Manningham, so I now I have to decide which three RB's to play. Charles, McFadden, Turner and Jennings. Decisions, decisions. This is good problem to have.

 
I'm so glad I played Mendenhall over MJD in one league (as if you cared I know). Who would you play between Jennings and Reggie Wayne?

JB just posted an interesting tidbit on facebook --

Maurice Jones-Drew was not at practice. No player who's missed Friday has played Sunday this year.

Two weeks left in the season. I could really use MJD ... I have two moves left to make ... And with the possibility of players sitting out week 17, I was really hoping to save both for that week. Now, I might have to use one this week. Crap.

You do have Jenning as a handcuff, right? :wall:
 
Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) said he will try to do some running at some point this weekend to determine if he has a chance to play in Week 16, reports Jeff Elliott, of The Florida Times-Union. He did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 24, and has been listed as doubtful for the game.

Nope. As I said earlier in this thread, I think, with 15-man rosters and 13-man lineups every week just not enough roster space to carry a backup.

Guy in my league that has Drew just lost in playoffs last week, so no need for him to pick up jennings...here's more news, looks like Drew is gonna try and play, otherwise he wouldn't even bother to test it out this weekend and rest his knee for next week..."Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) said he will try to do some running at some point this weekend to determine if he has a chance to play in Week 16, reports Jeff Elliott, of The Florida Times-Union.

Definitely Walter Payton. Sweetness himself..
 
I am probably a ##### but I grabbed Jennings and my opponent has MJDOh well, At least I didn't start Joe Webb Against him........ at WR
well I'm in the Championship Rd and I'm starting Joe Webb at WR and Jennings at RBI felt lucky to survive without Aaron Rodgers last week so I'm gonna continue to ride with that luck and see where it gets me.for the record I believe that a few years ago Julian Edelman also was listed as a QB/WR but it didn't end up working out so much because he didn't play at QB.I'm also the guy who started Colston at TE his rookie season... know the rules of your league and then take advantage of them. If you lose by sitting on an opportunity like the one provided with Joe Webb than you only have yourself to blame. Then again, will you be able to live with yourself if you use Webb instead of say an up & down Jeremy Maclin and you end up making the wrong decision... basically can you handle the heat to step out on a limb and reach for the championship with Joe Webb

;) It's the Superbowl in a lot of leagues, meaning if the MJD owner isn't in the SB or wasn't in the playoffs then it's quite possible that Jennings could be available, especially in leagues with shallow benches. I just picked him up in my league yesterday. The MJD owner is 2-11-1 and probably not too concerned about Jennings.
 
I have MJD and regardless if he plays....I am sitting him. I can't depend on a gimpy knee RB to win the prize. And his performance against the Colts was not inspiring.

Mike Williams (TB) is taking his place.

Sit turner, especially in PPR.

Decent sized back at 6-1 228. Physical runner and can break tackles but doesn't have the same pinball effect MJD has. Pretty good out of the back field. OK speed but doesn't have big play burst.I expect Deiji Karim to spell him and prolly get 10-12 touches.Assuming MSW is out, I think the sneaky play tomorrow is Jason Hill at WR.

turns out jennings wasn't worth worrying about - at least for this week.
