The Facts:
The Jaguars give off the strong impression that if Maurice Jones-Drew won't play for at least one of the last two years on his contract (he has salaries of $4.5 million and $4.95 million left), they're going to let him sit and let Jennings carry the majority of the rushing load.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Listening to the coaches and locals talk about backup running back Rashad Jennings, a fourth-year man from Liberty, you'd think he was the starter and Jones-Drew the backup. Certainly the comments about MJD being older and slower have some gamesmanship about them, but the team's trust in Jennings is valid. At this point, we expect Jones-Drew to be around for Week 1 though we also think his holdout should have him sliding to the second round in Fantasy drafts.
