August 24, 2008 Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter and did not return, but today thehe team reports the injury wasn't serious, according to the Florida Times-Union. "He's OK,'' said coach Jack Del Rio, adding that Drew could have continued playing if needed. "We are going to let that settle down and not become an issue.'' Our View:Drew hurt his ankle after he was tackled for a 4-yard loss by defensive tackle Chris Hovan on a second-and-8 play with 11:31 to go. So breath deep fantasy owners, sounds like he's good to go. |

June 28, 2008 Maurice Jones-Drew is expected to see more touches this year, and according to Rototimes sources he should be the starter with Fred Taylor seeing touches in relief of the younger and more powerful tailback. Our View:Jones-Drew has the speed to run off the edge and the power to pound yards between the tackles. The small in stature, huge in heart tailback, is hard to see behind his big offensive linemen. He only needs the majority of the Jags touches at running back to be a No. 1 fantasy option. |
