2009 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

With Fred Taylor gone, MJD will finally get a chance to carry the load and there is no reason to believe he won't be able to handle it. Over his first 3 years in the NFL, MJD has averaged 844 yards and 11.3 touchdowns rushing, all the while splitting carries with Taylor. Just imagine what he will do without having to share the ball? What makes MJD even more valuable is that he is a great receiver as well, catching 148 passes for a total of 1408 yards and 4 touchdowns. With all the numbers MJD puts up, he should be a top 12 pick in all formats, and maybe even a top 5 pick in point per reception leagues.

MJD has put on some extra weight this off season to help him handle being an every down back. With all the extra carries he will get, MJD should be a top 5 fantasy runner; in point per reception leagues (ppr) he could go as high as 1 or 2.
