Not that I'm a big fan of MJD just because I own him but let's take a look t the guys you are comparing him to..........
LT-Clearly supposed to be a better player but he also faces the Steelers who have arguable the best run defense in the league. Plus, right now LT is a shell of his former self.
Lynch-Has been sharing carries with Jackson all year and performing nowhere near to expectations.
Parker-Coming back from a major injury, supposedly wearing a harness or brace of some sort, and Moore is also very much part of the action.
Now I'm not saying I " think" that MJD is going to outperform all these guys, odds are against that happening, but with Matt Jones possibly missing this game MJD will likely be the focal points of their offense. Plus, projections are OPINIONS based on what one guys thinks, they're not a science.
By all means, if you disgree with the projections and own any of those guys mentioned, start them over MJD.
I admit I, as an MJD owner, saw where he was ranked as well and said "uh, yea, ok guys"
