On the bright side, MJD is healthy. He had 23 rushing attempts on Sunday against a very tough Cleveland Browns front seven. He hasn't missed any games all year and hasn't even seen any game-time decisions.
The Jags will face the Texans on Thursday night. They had some success and were able to pull out the win two weeks ago thats to MJD putting up 84 rushing yards on just 14 carries. The 6.0 YPC and yardage totals were his best of the season.
Fantasy impact: The Jaguars are at home and the Texans have not shown any sort of improvement. The loss of linebacker Brian Cushing has hurt them and they're getting gashed on their 10-game losing streak. MJD is a nice RB2 this week.
