Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Perhaps not in terms of health, but in terms of opening the door for Maurice Jones-Drew to move back into the starting lineup it's major. Jones-Drew played only two snaps on the opening 17-play scoring possession and took three of the four snaps on the second drive. But with Jennings sidelined, Jones-Drew finished with 19 carries for 77 yards and three catches for 18 yards. According to Times-Union staffer Ryan O'Halloran, MJD didn’t look out of place assignment-wise. He played in a game that he didn’t start for the first time since December 2008. Might have been the last start he misses for the foreseeable future.
