RB Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout is not a big concern for the Jaguars' new HC Mike Mularkey.

"I don't drive home or sit in my office worrying about it," Mularkey said. "I don't waste the energy."

Mularkey hasn't even met Jones-Drew. Nor has running backs coach Sylvester Croom.

Not a handshake. Not a visit. Nothing. There have been a few calls, but that's it. Nothing else. And that's on Jones-Drew, the supposed leader of this team. Shouldn't he get to know his new coach at some point? After all, Mularkey isn't making the money calls.

"I don't know him at all," Mularkey said.

And that's the danger in Jones-Drew's holdout. How do you know what you're missing if you don't know what it is?

The Jaguars and owner Shad Khan are dug-in on this one, even among the catcalls from many in the media that the organization is doing him wrong.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners who do draft MJD need to lock up Rashad Jennings, who has seen his ADP climb from the 15th round to the 13th at some mock draft sites. He would be a solid RB2 if Jones-Drew misses any games.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
