3rd round? wow.I never like to see anyone get hurt, but for those of us who stole MJD in the 3rd round....
This particular league is full of QB whores. They fly off the board early./hijack3rd round? wow.I never like to see anyone get hurt, but for those of us who stole MJD in the 3rd round....
Of course he is.I don't think MJD is automatically more valuable than he was yesterday.
I disagree. It might make him LESS valuable.Of course he is.I don't think MJD is automatically more valuable than he was yesterday.
Who are these Reji and Rasheed guys?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complexFor those who don't listen to MJD's fantasy football show on Sirius/XM, he's been pounding home a point all summer for everyone who doubts him. Just about every day, he tells a caller "I had over 1,600 total yards last year playing on ONE LEG! I was not healthy all season long. I am telling you right now that I am 100% and you will regret it if you don't draft me."
He got those 1,600+ yards in 14 games, BTW.
Maybe he sucked me in, but I'm a believer. At his size, he's had to prove himself every step of the way.
MJD with a chip on his shoulder = BAD THINGS, MAN!

Unless you think it wasn't MJD's recent injury history that was the reason MJD was slipping. Deji Karim just became this week's waiver wire darling.
Yeah I get it RN. He's an elite back with a huge drive to prove the doubters wrong. Realize though, all of it will only go so far as his body allows him to. And he's on a bottom 3 in the league team as far as offense goes... In the 3rd you have to take him, but he was just outside the top 10 in most of my leagues and I didn't want him there.Sincerely,Guy Who Missed Out On Himhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complexFor those who don't listen to MJD's fantasy football show on Sirius/XM, he's been pounding home a point all summer for everyone who doubts him.

I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but I don't think it makes any difference. Karim is a solid player and battled Jennings for the #2 role pretty hard last year, and many, myself included, felt he was better than Jennings. I think he is a good talent. MJD's knees are on borrowed time. I doubt he gets more carries after the Jennings injury. I think Karim gets Jennings carries plus a few, and then Owens and whoever else pick up a few other carries. I think in essence it's a wash for MJD, providing his knees hold up.Y'all are messing with me, right? DEJI KARIM (whatever that is) will not see the same workload that Jennings would have.

Running back Rashad Jennings tweeted that his knee injury prompted the Jaguars to place him on injured reserve.So Jacksonville officially has depth concerns at running back.Maurice Jones-Drew is coming off knee surgery and did little in the preseason, appearing only in the finale. The team has talked about lightening his load, and the primary guy to do that was going to be Jennings.Deji Karim is a nice change-up back, but the team could now look for a bigger guy as insurance for Jones-Drew, and to take some of his work on first and second down.Jacksonville media pressed Jack Del Rio recently about the running back plan if Jennings wasn’t ready for the Sept. 11 opener against the Titans.Here’s that exchange: If Rashad Jennings is not ready for the opener, how confident are you in Deji Karim to be the backup? Talk about him and his readiness if he has to be the number two guy. Del Rio: "I feel great about our backfield. I think we have depth. I think we have productive guys that will step up and play big for us. Deji is one of them. I think you’ll see an increased role with Montell (Owens), an increased role with Brock (Bolen). But Deji in particular has been very explosive this preseason. He’s got some real quicks, he’s got great vision and he’s been improved in all facets of his game. And the thing that stands out is the explosive element that he brings." So Brock Bolen and Montell Owens will carry the ball more? “Yes, they’ll be involved.” What’s your thinking there? “Just using our talent, just using the players we have.” So does that mean Maurice Jones-Drew won’t have quite as many carries as he has in the past? “No, that means that Maurice is still going to get his load but the question was asked if Rashad is not able to go, how will we fill that and I spoke about that.” So Deji Karim, Brock Bolen and Montell Owens will be the backups? “Yeah, we like the whole group top to bottom.”It’s hard to get excited about carries for Owens, a fullback who works as a special-teams ace or Bolen, also a fullback. Surely it was an oversight that Del Rio didn’t mention a longtime favorite, starting fullback Greg Jones. Frankly, no team should ever carry three fullbacks.The Jaguars need a second or third option who's spent time carrying the ball.
My thoughts exactly.Of course none of that has anything to do with whether it's Jennings or Karim backing him up. Hence the Jennings news not making a difference. MJD > Jennings. So if MJD is healthy and can hold up, then Jennings wasn't going to make much of a dent even if he hadn't got hurt.For those who don't listen to MJD's fantasy football show on Sirius/XM, he's been pounding home a point all summer for everyone who doubts him. Just about every day, he tells a caller "I had over 1,600 total yards last year playing on ONE LEG! I was not healthy all season long.

How do you figure? It was a routine meniscus surgery which was a complete success and there is no structural damage.MJD's knees are on borrowed time.
Good posting.Rashad Jennings wasn't a risk to take carries from MJD because Rashad Jennings was a talent that couldn't be denied touches. It's clear that the risk was based solely on the coaching staff's concerns about MJD's knee holding up under a full workload.I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but I don't think it makes any difference. Karim is a solid player and battled Jennings for the #2 role pretty hard last year, and many, myself included, felt he was better than Jennings. I think he is a good talent.

Was the whole microfracture surgery rumor thing completely shot down?How do you figure? It was a routine meniscus surgery which was a complete success and there is no structural damage.MJD's knees are on borrowed time.
You do realize that this article does nothing to support your assertion that the Jennings injury is good news for MJD, right?In fact, Del Rio essentially admits the opposite assertion that many of us were pointing out...that MJD's use is going to be determined by his ability to hold up...which has nothing to do with Jennings. If MJD needs to give those carries up to remain fresh and productive, the only impact of the Jennings injury will be in which other RB on the roster gets those carries. MJD isn't backing himself up.Paul Kuharsky:

Mo says he is 100% and he feels great.

Rotoworld (from January):Maurice Jones-Drew revealed Tuesday that his right knee was "bone-on-bone" by the end of the season, and his recovery from meniscus surgery is now expected to take four months.The injury was initially described as a routine scope that would have Jones-Drew "back to normal" in short order. His clarification leads us to suspect the surgery may have, in fact, been microfracture in nature. Until sitting out the final two games, Jones-Drew played the whole season with a torn meniscus. It's fair to wonder if doing so will shorten his career. Torry Holt and Antonio Bryant never captured pre-injury form after bone-on-bone conditions related to meniscus surgeries. The news makes MJD a far less stable investment in Dynasty formats, and a threat to decline sharply in the short term.Source: Tania Ganguli on TwitterJan 25 - 4:02 PMHow do you figure? It was a routine meniscus surgery which was a complete success and there is no structural damage.MJD's knees are on borrowed time.

Glad to have swiftly grabbed Karim in both my leagues before the IR announcement was even official.
I can't believe you didn't know it was most likely microfracture and that his knee was bone on bone... I would have gone harder after you if you didn't know that, but I thought you accepted that and were taking it into account. I actually POSTED that his knee was bone on bone in the late winter.How do you figure? It was a routine meniscus surgery which was a complete success and there is no structural damage.MJD's knees are on borrowed time.
He wasn't cleared for 6 months by doctors.That is a timeline consistent with micro fracture surgery, not routine meniscus surgery.How do you figure? It was a routine meniscus surgery which was a complete success and there is no structural damage.MJD's knees are on borrowed time.

Ditto. One of a few reasons I don't see how Jennings being out helps MJD.BTW - nice photoReally impressed by Karim this preseason
I don't mean this sarcastically. How many guys do you figure have looked impressive in a preseason, never to be heard from again?Four or five hundred guys?Ditto. One of a few reasons I don't see how Jennings being out helps MJD.Really impressed by Karim this preseason
Still, it makes sense that Jacksonville will be looking to pick someone else up.Stafon Johnson was just waived by the Titans.Hey, didn't Kareem Huggins look good in preseason last year?Then LeGarrette Blount was waived by the Titans...Really impressed by Karim this preseason
I thought he was talented before this preseason. So all his performance has done is confirm my ingoing view.I don't mean this sarcastically.
