2012 Outlook: Fantasy Handcuff

Last updated on Sep-05-2012 by Daniel Kalles

Jennings missed all of 2011, but says he is fully healthy and ready to take back the backup duties for MJD. The Jags don't rely enough on their backups to rate Jennings as anything more than a handcuff (and maybe not even a good one). If MJD went down, you would really need to think about whether you would be willing to ever start Jennings. However, if a certain contract dispute keeps a certain star RB out of Jags camp, Jennings value (at least short term) moves up at least into the bye week filler range.

Update 8-11-2012 - Jennings should be moving up your draft board big time. If MJD's holdout lasts into the season then he will be the starter; even if MJD comes back right before the season, don't be surprised if he goes down with an injury leaving starter's duties in Jennings' hands.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	11.02	2MugsFF.com - If MJD's holdout get's ugly, Jennings is the next man up. RB depth at this point anyway.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	15.08	FFToday.com - I'm not really investing in Rashad Jennings because on a possible Maurice Jones-Drew holdout. I honestly don't think MJD will holdout and miss the real season. Jennings is a talented RB in his own right, so this late in the draft I'll take a chance he can return to form from injury that sidelined him last year. If he can, he's a valuable backup and handcuff regardless of MJD's contract situation.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	10.07	DraftSharks.com - This year's Ben Tate ... at least.
