M Jones-Drew

[The Jury]

Any thoughts about his production beyond this week?

He's caught, rushed, and returned kicks today for some big numbers...

If Fragile Fred goes down, he's gonna be a stud.

I'm getting him in both of my leagues now

[Blitzburgh2001]

The kid is already a stud. I picked him in the last round of my deep league specifically because of Fragile Fred's rep. But Jones-Drew is an awesome runner. he reminds me of james Brooks. He's got a real low center of gravity, and great quickness. So despite his 5-7 207 frame, he's actually pretty powerful because he;s a small target with great balance. This kid is gonna be special, and if Freddy goes down, he will be a top 10 back for sure. If you get the chance, you need to check out some of the runs he had today. He breaks at least 3 tackles every time he touched the ball. Watch out for Maurice Jones-Drew...

I added Jones-Drew to my roster after week 1 because I assumed F.Taylor would go down at some point. Hopefully I will be able to move him and upgrade my team.

How do you all feel about this guy for the remainder of the season? is he worth a pickup? tiki has a bye week next week and i'm looking for someone to start, do you think after this week's good performance he could get enough carries to warrent a start next week?

No, but if you have the bench room, he'll be good insurance when Fragile Fred gets hurt.

Fixed that for ya....he's not as injury prone as people think. I think he'll stay healthy all year which will limit Drew's value significantly.

I think he is worth owning but I don't know if he is a great start. he gets a fair amount of touches and looks good running with the ball. If it does not cost you anything but a roster spot to take a chance on him, I say do it. but expecting big things next week might be asking to much.

He's the RB version of Chris Henry. Worth a roster spot because he will give you a few points in his current situation, and be worthy of a start if someone ahead of him gets hurt.

You don't spend a second round pick on a backup RB if you are the Jaguars. Jones-Drew was brought in to share carries and return kicks/punts and that is what he will start doing. I wouldn't start him against a good tackling team like the Ravens or Bears though because he will be taken down quick and perform poorly.
