Taylor told the Florida Times-Union that he won't risk playing Sunday if his groin muscle still feels tight. He is listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision.
Fantasy Source spin: This injury didn't seem like a big deal earlier in the week, but it realistically could sideline Taylor for Week 6. This could open the door for a big game from Maurice-Jones Drew.

Additional quotes from the Times-Union..

"I know I could go if I wanted," Taylor said. "But we don't have any more off weeks. So we've talked about needing to let it heal up as opposed to taking a chance. I'll get out there, stretch and see how it feels.
"At practice today, I was able to explode on it. I think they're gonna leave it up to me, but we'll see."

Clayton just said that he was "very questionable" with the groin, and that the Jags were going to leave it up to him.

I just hope he stretched his groin in private before hitting the field.

anyone wanna guess on what share of the workload he'll get?
my *guess* is an even split in carries, as opposed to the usual 65/35 in favor of Fred. Towards th eend of the game, when the defense is more tired, I expect MJD and Greg Jones to see more action.

considering they've been spitting almost 50/50 all season with taylor getting slightly more, i could see MJD getting 60% or so today with freddy hurting a bit. the jags have already used their bye week, so they have no reason to risk further injury to freddy.

will he be able to finish though is the real question. I may be stuck with Chris Brown or Cedrick Benson.

FWIW, even though active and "starting," he sits on my lineup for L.Robinson. That's how confident I am in him.

So he busts off a 70+ yard run on the first play last Sunday, then he sits during the second half because his groin "locked up" on him. He claims he could have come back into the game had it been close, but he didn't because they were blowing out Houston.
I can't seem to find any new information this week -- info on Monday night games typically comes later in the week.
Anyone else in a position where you are almost forced to start Freddy due to byes?
I just don't feel comfortable about this.
If nothing else, the game should be close and it's a division rival. That might get him through the whole game.

Not to hijack this thread, but MJD has done nothing since last weekend.Well, neither of the JAX RB's, IMHO.Forced? Wanna trade spots with me?Almost.

Fred Taylor starts and has about 12 carries.

Very true. Of course, unless they played for the NYG or Atlanta, no RB has done anything since last weekend.Not to hijack this thread, but MJD has done nothing since last weekend.Well, neither of the JAX RB's, IMHO.Forced?

Sportsline's reporting MJD is questionable this week with a thigh bruise so that possibility should help Fred.....provided the groin holds together.

Reggie Bush started this whole thing in college. Adrian Peterson wishes he wouldn't have...although Minnie is happy he did.

No way an RB sits out a game like this with a thigh bruise. MJD will play.

I'm playing MJD and Taylor...here's hoping they run the ball for a lot of yards and td's.

I need an Act of God tonight... i.e., Fred Taylor getting into the end zone.
Hey, it's bound to happen at some point this year, right?
