Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew is inactive in Week 11, making five straight games missed for the leading rusher in 2011. Jones-Drew has been hampered by a foot injury suffered in Week 6 and was averaging 4.8 yards per carry when he went down. If only Rashad Jennings could do so well.
Maurice Jones-Drew remains inactive, Rashad Jennings fantasy value remains questionable
The lack of production from Jennings highlights how talented MJD really is. We break down the fantasy implications.
The backup to Jones-Drew, Jennings is running for just a hair under 3.00 yards per carry this season. He has scored one touchdown on the year and has seen his carries go down each week for the 1-8 Jaguars.
Fantasy Take: It was a nice idea to start Jennings in your fantasy league when MJD went down. After all, it’s only natural to assume that the player that takes the place of a successful player could also have some success. Now we see a bit more insight into how amazing it was for MJD to lead the league in rushing last year by this offensive line.
Jennings isn't in a great situation, isn't MJD and is facing the Houston Texans' defense on Sunday. Find another option, if possible. At best he is a flex play.
