Jacksonville Jaguars 1-9 at Houston Texans 2-8
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
No must-starts for the Jaguars, not because of their opponent… just because the Jaguars do not have any must-starts.
Gut Calls
Maurice Jones-Drew
#21 Ranked RB
Lets start with he got a TD against a very tough DEF last week. With that said, he only had 23 yards rushing and 12 yards receiving against the Cardinals. Jones-Drew is not the man he used to be and, with no one else to protect on the Jaguars, it makes his job even harder. Someone is going to score and most likely it will be Jones-Drew. Houston gives up the 17th most fantasy points to RBs.
Cecil Shorts
#31 Ranked WR
Shorts scored a total of 13.80 points in the last three games. He is really bad and so is his QB. We are putting him in Gut Calls simply because he threw a fit last week after his 1 target in garbage time. When a WR starts crying about not getting the ball more they tend to see the ball a lot more. You need to be in a very deep league to take the risk on Shorts. Houston gives up the 5th fewest fantasy points to WRs.
Bench Warmers
Everyone else on the Jaguars should be benched and it all starts with Chad Henne. He has an average of 9.4 fantasy points per game. The Jaguars are staying with Henne because their backup, Gabbert, is even worse. Mercedes Lewis has had a total of 7.90 points in the last four games. If you don’t know who he is: he is the TE for the Jaguars that has done nothing this year. Mike Brown, the second WR to Shorts, had 2.30 points last week and 4.00 points the week before. He has both an AC sprain and Chad Henne throwing the ball to him.
