I meant to reply a couple of days ago, Joh...Whoops. I meant to reply a couple of days ago, John Daniel, but I got sidetracked. Thanks for joining in.<BR/><BR/>I think if you say that MJD is such a dynamic talent that you wouldn't trade him for Addai right now, then don't you have to rank him pretty close to Addai? If you believe his future is special, then you're not giving him up and missing out on difference-making fantasy production once he does get a bump in touches. It's tough to know when it's going to happen, but it IS likely to happen.<BR/><BR/>Fred Taylor is looking outstanding right now and taking better care of his body, but he's going to be almost 33 years old to begin next season, and age catches up to everybody. Like I said, you can't pinpoint exactly when MJD will see that big bump in touches, but it could happen at any time.<BR/><BR/>Another thing to consider is that you mentioned only his carries, but he's a major factor in the passing game and in the return game. He's an unique fantasy player in that he's a TD vulture inside the 10-yardline PLUS a homerun threat every time he touches the ball AND one of the absolute best receiving backs in the NFL. <BR/><BR/>I'm having a bit of trouble with the footballreference site, but I know that he finished 8th among RBs in limited touches his rookie season, and I believe he finished somewhere around 12th this season. If you believe his touches are likely to increase, then he's an elite RB.Chris Wesselinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514914375873012828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775717737795541691.post-90611086692933992422008-01-11T02:08:00.000-05:002008-01-11T02:08:00.000-05:00Hey Chris/F&L/???I've got to ask in about MJD. I'...Hey Chris/F&L/???<BR/><BR/>I've got to ask in about MJD. I've been through the recent discussion in the Shark Pool, and can agree with the idea that the guy is a physical wildman on the field ( I think my favorite description is that he's "a bowling ball on methamphetamines", don't remember which shark said it though ). But does a guy who only averages 11 carries a game REALLY belong in Tier 1? The 89 he's got right now is a HUGE bump from the 77 last ranking, and I'm just not sure I can buy that he belongs on the same tier as the feature back guys at the top level?<BR/><BR/>Nice work on the new site, btw. <BR/><BR/>-JDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722711498251947711noreply@blogger.com
