After receiving the results of Friday's MRI, Maurice Jones-Drew (hamstring) promised he will play in Week 15 against the Bills.

Jones-Drew suffered the hamstring injury in Thursday night's win over the Texans. Set for free agency in 2014, MJD doesn't want to miss out on any of his final chances to impress in 2013. "It’s what we, I think, what we figured out was just a strained hamstring," Jones-Drew said. "I’ve played with those before so it’s not that big of a deal. You just have to get the necessary treatments and things done so you can get back and get on the field for Sunday." MJD will be an RB2 if he's indeed cleared to start against Buffalo.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew will undergo an MRI on his injured right hamstring Friday.

Jones-Drew left midway through the fourth quarter after injuring his hammy at the end of a 15-yard catch-and-run. He had his best game of the season Thursday night against Houston, totaling 123 yards on 16 touches. MJD will have ten days to rest up for the Bills, but hamstring injuries are tricky issues for runners. Jordan Todman would handle lead-back duties in Jones-Drew's absence.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew was forced from Jacksonville's Week 14 game against the Texans with a right hamstring injury.

Jones-Drew was officially deemed "questionable" upon going down midway through the fourth quarter, but never returned after limping to the locker room. MJD blew a tire finishing off a 15-yard catch and run. Jones-Drew was having one of his best games of the season before going down, rushing 14 times for 103 yards while adding 20 yards on two catches. The 100-yard day on the ground was his first of 2013, while a tackle-breaking, 48-yard scamper in the third quarter was his longest rush of the year. Jordan Todman finished out the game at running back.

Dec 5 - 11:20 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for 77 yards on 23 carries in Week 13 against the Browns.

Jones-Drew did it all Sunday. He caught two passes for four yards and tossed an eight-yard touchdown to Marcedes Lewis. It was MJD's second career passing attempt; his previous pass was intercepted. On the play, Jones-Drew took a toss right before finding Lewis in the end zone for the easy score. Running-wise, MJD found a couple big holes but was also dropped at or behind the line of scrimmage several times. Jordan Todman pitched in 31 yards on five carries. This has been MJD's best two-game stretch of the season, but he's merely a low-end RB2. After 12 games, he's on pace to rush for 821 yards and six touchdowns on 258 carries. The Jaguars host the Texans on Thursday night.

Dec 1 - 5:20 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

OC Jedd Fisch suggested that the timeshare between Maurice Jones-Drew and Jordan Todman will continue.

In the Week 12 win at Houston, Jones-Drew got 20 touches and Todman got 12. When asked about the prospects of a committee going forward, Fisch said, "I think that would be a really good setup for us." Even MJD seems fine with the plan as he enters a contract year. "In the fourth quarter, I was fresher than I've ever been," he said. Facing a talented Browns front seven on the road this week with the prospects of a timeshare looming, Jones-Drew is just a weak RB2.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Appearing on 1010 Jacksonville on Tuesday evening, Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said there's a "realistic possibility" the team re-signs free-agent-to-be Maurice Jones-Drew.

That's about all Caldwell offered up. Jones-Drew is in the final year of a five-year, $30.95 million deal and will turn 29 in March. He's started all 11 games this season and has rushed 171 times for 539 yards (3.2 YPC) and five touchdowns behind one of the league's worst offensive lines. It hasn't been all the line's fault. MJD has looked stiff and has displayed very little burst in his eighth season. He's unlikely to command much money on the open market and would be lucky to get the deal Steven Jackson got from the Falcons last offseason as a 29-year-old -- three years and $12 million with $4 million guaranteed. The Jags would be best suited to move on and keep getting younger.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 14 times for 84 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 12 win over the Texans, adding six catches for 60 yards.

Both the rushing yards and yards from scrimmage were new season highs for MJD, while the touchdown was his third in three games. Buoyed by three rushes of 10 yards or longer, including a season-best 44-yard scamper in the second quarter, MJD upped his yards per carry from 2.89 to 3.15. Jones-Drew still displayed alarmingly little side-to-side burst, but was hard to bring down once he got a head of steam. This afternoon will almost certainly go down as his best game of the season. MJD will be a low-end RB2 against the Browns' stout defense in Week 13.

Nov 24 - 5:41 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew blamed stacked boxes for his meager 23 yards on 14 carries in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

The Jaguars offense has gone in the tank without Justin Blackmon, leading to a frustrated Cecil Shorts and no creases for MJD. "They're loading the box to stop the run. It's frustrating. It's a challenge," Jones-Drew said. He has scored in back-to-back games, meaning the time is now to try to sell. Averaging a pathetic 2.89 YPC on the season, Jones-Drew isn't going to turn this thing around. He's lost a step or three and the Jags' passing game isn't going to spring to life.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 14 times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 11 loss to the Cardinals, adding four catches for 12 yards.

Jones-Drew never stood a chance against one of the league's best defenses, particularly with Chad Henne posing embarrassingly little threat in the passing game. MJD has now scored in back-to-back games, but watched his yards per carry slump to 2.89. He'll be on the RB2/3 borderline against the Texans in Week 12.

Nov 17 - 6:54 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) returned to Jaguars practice Thursday, getting in a limited session.

The Jags are just managing their 28-year-old back's legs, as they normally do. MJD is a borderline RB2 against the Cardinals' stout run defense.

Nov 14 - 5:56 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

It's just a veteran day off. Jones-Drew had a season-high 21 carries for 41 yards in Sunday's win and will be a RB2/FLEX option for Week 11 against the Cardinals.

Nov 13 - 4:12 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 21 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 33 yards in the Jaguars' Week 10 win over Tennessee.

MJD scored a six-yard touchdown off an early Titans turnover, and struggled to find running room from there on out. He still handled enough sheer volume to pay off as a flex start. Jones-Drew will be a poorer RB2/flex gamble when the Jaguars face the Cardinals' stout run defense in Week 11.

Nov 10 - 5:00 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) is listed as probable for Week 10.

He'll be all systems go for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee.

Nov 8 - 2:23 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.

It's just a mechanism for limiting MJD's practice reps. He's good to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, where he'll be an RB2/3.

Nov 7 - 4:25 PM

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 19 times for 75 yards and caught six passes for 47 yards in the Jaguars' Week 8 loss to the 49ers.

This was Jones-Drew's best game of the season from an all-purpose production standpoint. His pass-catching usage to this point had been scant -- the Jags used Jordan Todman and Justin Forsett as their primary comeback-mode receiving backs early in the season -- but on Sunday MJD was more involved than ever. His lack of burst and wiggle is still evident, however. Jones-Drew isn't a recommended trade target entering the Jags' Week 9 bye.

	4	Justin Forsett Sidelined Jaguars RB Justin Forsett has been diagnosed with a broken foot, and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks. He'll likely be placed on injured reserve. The news leaves Jordan Todman as Maurice Jones-Drew's primary breather back, and cracks the door back open for Denard Robinson to receive carries. MJD is the only Jags back worth owning. Nov 25

WR1	1	Cecil Shorts Probable Cecil Shorts caught just two passes for 13 yards in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Texans, but managed to find the end zone. Shorts was inches away from a much bigger night, as he drew a 33-yard pass-interference penalty, and was overthrown on what would have been a wide-open 59-yard touchdown. He also drew a defensive-holding call. As it is, Shorts finished with only six targets after combining for 23 in Weeks 12-13. Shorts will be a WR2 against the Bills' burnable secondary in Week 15. Dec 6
	2	Ace Sanders
	3	Jeremy Ebert
WR2	1	Mike Brown Probable Mike Brown caught three passes for 16 yards in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Texans. Brown's biggest contribution came on Jacksonville's opening drive, where he muffed what should have been an easy 16-yard touchdown. Brown ran as the Jaguars' No. 3 receiver behind Cecil Shorts and Ace Sanders. He's not on the WR5 radar for the fantasy playoffs. Dec 6
	2	Stephen Burton Sidelined Jaguars declared WR Stephen Burton, QB Ricky Stanzi, RB Justin Forsett, DT Brandon Deaderick, WR Jeremy Ebert, OG Jacques McClendon and FS Josh Evans inactive for Week 14 against the Texans. Burton is week to week with a concussion. Evans (shoulder) had been previously ruled out. Winston Guy will start in his absence. Deaderick is a healthy scratch with DE Jeremy Mincey returning from his team-imposed suspension. Dec 5
	3	Kerry Taylor
WR3	1	Ace Sanders
TE	1	Marcedes Lewis Probable Marcedes Lewis caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Texans. Lewis' touchdown was a one-yard fade. His 41-yard catch was much more impressive, as he reached over the back of Texans LB Darryl Sharpton before adding some major yards after the catch. Lewis has gotten more involved in the Jaguars' passing attack in recent weeks, but still hasn't cleared three catches in a game. He's not a viable TE2. Dec 6
	2	Clay Harbor
	3	Allen Reisner I.L. Jaguars placed TE Allen Reisner on injured reserve/designated to return with a sprained MCL. Reisner is expected to miss six weeks, but the Jags didn't want to mess around with making him a weekly inactive. It's to the point of the season where they might as well use their "return" tag on somebody. Reisner is a deep reserve. It's possible he'll never be activated. Oct 8
