Jones-Drew has had a disappointing season so far, but the disappointment overshadows the fact that he has scored in six of nine games and is on pace to score more touchdowns than the 15 he notched as a breakout rookie in 2006.

Jones-Drew has gotten more than 12 carries just twice this season. Those two games just happen to have been his two best per-carry performances for the year so far. The Jaguars' willingness to load up on pass plays at the expense of a much stronger running game is inexplicable and severely hampers Jones-Drew's fantasy value.
