Official Maurice Jones-Drew Thread (1 Viewer)

Thanks - although "expects to play" could mean he gets 5 rushes the whole game :goodposting:

PS/FWIW he practiced Fri. Maybe the title here should be bumped to "probable" - ?

Yeah, from what I've read he "partially" practiced both days. I'm wondering if he'll dress but be used sparingly (my personal conjecture only). Fred's 135 yards away from 10K. They might try to run him early and often. (Again just my two cents). If I hear anything on pregame, I'll let you know.
 
Per TSN:

Despite being listed as questionable and missing part of Friday's practice, Jones-Drew (knee) again told the Florida Times-Union that he expects to play Sunday.

Fantasy Source spin: Again, we'll continue to trust him. The bad news is that the Jaguars and Buccaneers don't kick off until 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, so your lineup decision might need to be made much earlier. Leave MJD active for now, but check back Sunday morning for the latest.

 
Thx but again this really doesn't tell us much. "Expects to play" means little FF-wise.
Rotoworld's Greg Rosenthall said in a video interview that local reporters in JAX are saying that they "aren't as optimistic as MJD is about him playing"I guess he took the reporters to mean MJD is worse off than he is saying.MJD was limited all week in practice.Take this for what it's worth.
 
On the Yahoo fantasy live show, they said nobody is going to know until pregame warmups. for a 4 PM game Obviously, no link. As a Drew owner with other options at 1PM - I am sitting him out.

 
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Jag RB Maurice Jones-Drew is still a game time decision and he will warm up before the game to see if he can go.

 
Start/Sit

Active = Start with no fears

Inactive = Bench

Simply wait till the inactives are announced and follow above with great expectations.

Which is avail where? I turn on the goofball pre-game and I get anything but such info. If the deadline is 1 PM for that info it is useless to me.
 
Should get the actives/inactives soon. I wonder if locals could chime in with any info on the local airwaves in terms of how he looks.

 
i checked the time stamp this time :popcorn:

Week 8 inactives

By Michael Fabiano | NFL.com

Fantasy Editor

Jacksonville Jaguars

Inactives: WR John Broussard, T Richard Collier, QB David Garrard, DT Derek Landri, DT Tony McDaniel, G Uche Nwaneri, K Josh Scobee, CB Brian Williams.

Fantasy take: Quinn Gray will start in the absence of Garrard. Maurice Jones-Drew is active and will share carries with Fred Taylor.

 
From Jaguars.com In-game coverage:

"It appears Maurice Jones-Drew will play but LaBrandon Toefield is active for the first time this season".

 
Anyone listening to local radio with additional info? Anyone? Bueller?
they just said he is active. plan on him getting limited carries. but to be honest, him getting only 15 touches is his norm, and he can still go off.
Is this just your speculation?
yesbut thats as good as you will get at this point. hes active. i dont see why they would activate him unless they felt he was able to play

 
So are most MJD owners starting him? I know its not the forum, but who are you guys starting instead? I have to decide between MJD and DDriver...

 
I'm trying to figure out either MJD or Gore.

I'm gonna start gore, as I'm already up, and just need about 10 pts to top it off.

MJD should go off if i bench him
