MJD likely will get the lions share of the carries next year, but if Jacksonville does nothing about that O-line -- which is unlikely -- his stock may not rise too much.

Yahoo had him at 1.02 in their early mock. Not saying that's right either, but I feel a lot better about him than Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Portis, Steven Jackson, MBIII, and perhaps LT. I'm not certain any of those guys will put up better numbers than MJD, and I think they are all riskier. MJD has only been reliably putting up top 10 RB stats while in a time share, and his carries will go up if Fred Taylor moves on, which appears likely at this point. You also have to note that he tends to pick up the pace later in the year, when fantasy owners need him most. Some of these other guys tend to break down or disappear as the year goes on. No MJD?
