2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Sep-05-2012 by Daniel Kalles

STUD STUD STUD, that's all MJD is - not that it matters much if his contract issue lingers and lingers.Last season (despite playing in one of the worst offenses in the NFL), MJD was able to set career highs in rushing yards (1,606) while scoring 11 total TDs and catching 43 passes for 374 yards -- making him even more dangerous in PPR leagues. MJD is a top 12 fantasy player in any format, it's as simple as that, if he shows up, that is. Otherwise...well, let's see where we are by mid August or so...

Update 8-11-2012 - MJD is currently holding out and there has been no update about when this might end. If this hold out drags on much longer, MJD should drop down your draft board. Players who sit out most of camp in contract holdouts don't have great seasons, often getting injured. This is something to pay close attention to.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	1.09	ProFootballFocus
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	1.06	FantasySharks.com - Contract squabbles aside, just shy of 2,000 combined yards and 11 TD's in 2011 certainly has my attention. The Jaguars are making a run at trying to improve and the addition of Justin Blackmon could help Blaine Gabbert and the entire offense stay on the field more. I see a real potential for MJD's total TD's to go up in 2012.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	1.10	CBSSports.com - I don't want to draft MJD this year, but I didn't want him last year either, which proved to be a mistake. He's worth the risk at No. 10 overall right now, but if he's a holdout then he'll easily fall below McFadden, Richardson, Lynch and Murray.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	1.12	FantasySharks.com - I like how MJD has been falling. Sure he would like a new contract and maybe he'll get some concessions but this smells more like a vet posturing while enjoying not having to go through training camp. I hope..
