You Shouldn't Trust Maurice Jones-Drew in Fantasy Football This Year
Jones-Drew was once on top of the fantasy world. Times have changed, and you're better off without him this year.

FantasyFootballCalculator.com, Jones-Drew is going at a average draft position of 7.04, leaving the board as the 32nd running back. The seventh round is simply too high to take a volume-dependent running back who isn't guaranteed to get a lot of volume. Jones-Drew offers little in the way of upside, and is playing in a crowded backfield. He's being drafted rounds ahead of where he belongs based on success that he's years removed from.

Though he's still ranked 30th at running back according to our projections, his three-touchdown projection isn't anything to write home about. Stay away if you're looking for a player who can provide immense upside.
