Has his value finally increased or is he still undervalued?
Anyone trade him away or for him since yesterday's game?

MJD's value after this week? (1 Viewer)

3 TDs are nice (very nice) but they were all short. I think he had around 100 yards combined, which is nice too. Still against a horrible, horrible team, I'd have expected more in the yardage department. He hasn't had a big gainer (which was kind of his thing the previous years) in a while it seems.
Expectations neutral.

His value is the same IMO. This was against DET and to be expected.

I think his value might actually decrease, since he's had such an up-and-down season. Plus, Taylor got the carries at the end of the game.
I fully expect MJD to have another 6 carry/15 yard game next week, only to blow up in 2 weeks with another monster game.

I play in a heavy TD league and he's the #10 RB right now. I took him as my #2 RB and he's exceeding those expectations at the moment. Sure, he's not the most consistent producing RB but there really aren't that many of those out there. The dude takes more grief than most on FF boards yet he's doing the same thing he's done the 2 prior years....producing.

I watched it and it was almost as if DelRio felt sorry for Taylor and gave him charity carries because the game was in hand. MJD was the more effective runner by far. DelRio left Taylor in for at least 1 goal line opportunity that usually would have been given to MJD. If they would have kept the same personnel as usual for the whole game, MJD would have had over 100 yards rushing and 4 tds pretty easily.

He played Detroit. That says about all you need to hear.

After yesterday, he's #9 among RBs in my keeper league.

Adrian Peterson never sniffed the endzone against the Lions. And he plays Houston, Chicago, and Green Bay during the playoffs. What's your point?What I love about him in a TD league is even when he doesn't have a good day, he more often than not still finds the endzone.

His value is not changing. Other posters are right about the offensive line and the state of Jacksonville.

FWIW, I traded him for Peyton Manning in a 10 teamer just prior to the game. His other QB is Rivers, and I had some decent RB depth and had lost Brady and Schaub. He wasn't making my starting two every week, so it was a no brainer. Given my particular situation and MJD's up and down production this year, I'd probably make the trade even after the game. Luckily the trade won't go through until Tuesday so I got to use the points this week!

dudes ranked as the #9 running back in my league, you must good options, I start him every week and dont think twice about it
TEN, MIN, and CHI 3 of the next 4 weeks...
I don't like those odds.

sigmund...what about picking him up as insurance behind mb3, sjax, slaton for the playoffs15- packers #2816- colts #24
Sjax and Slaton are no sure things to be quality plays in the playoffs, plus it would be hard to bench MJD for that colts matchup. I like it.

So you expect the Titans to contain him but you expect him to explode against the Vikes? He gets the Texans after that and then the Bears. Not a guy to trade for if you are trying to make the playoffs.If you are in the playoffs, then he might be a nice guy to trade for. GB and the Colts weeks 15 and 16, but if you have a week 17 SB he plays the Ravens. GL with that schedule outside of 15 and 16

Agreed.They were really trying to get Taylor a TD on that final GL series. I guess they figured MJD already had his share.At this point Taylor is just getting loyalty/pity touches.Time for Taylor to hang em up. He's gotten old very fast. Great, great RB, but the time has come.I watched it and it was almost as if DelRio felt sorry for Taylor and gave him charity carries because the game was in hand. MJD was the more effective runner by far. DelRio left Taylor in for at least 1 goal line opportunity that usually would have been given to MJD. If they would have kept the same personnel as usual for the whole game, MJD would have had over 100 yards rushing and 4 tds pretty easily.

If you look at a graph of MJD's output this year, you will see that he blows up every third week. Looking at his remaining schedule, he will be money plays on weeks 13 and 16. Which as you can see, fits the pattern this year precisely. But to the OP, I would say his value decreases as he is only good every three weeks. If you can trade him do it. I tried but found no takers.

With a beat up O-Line and a tough schedule MJD is hard to make a weekly play. Jacksonville has become a pass first offense to further devalue the RB's. It is frustrating not to be able to usey such a good player. It feels like another lost dynasty season (from a stand point of realizing potential) for MJD.
