Maurice Jones-Drew open to trade, Jags not biting

Aug 21, 2012

Schefter: "In light of Jaguars owner Shad Khan's recent public remarks ('Train is leaving the station. Run, get on it'), Jacksonville's RB Maurice Jones-Drew is now open to being traded, per source."

Mike Freeman, CBS Sports: "I'm told, specifically, that for the moment, no (expletive deleted) way the Jaguars are trading MJD."

Fantasy Impact:

Khan probably didn't help matters with his comments, which sure sound like gloating. MJD has no leverage and will start losing game checks if he continues to hold out. For a guy that is trying to make money, it doesn't make much sense. We're not sure that common sense is going to prevail here, so draft MJD at your own risk -- just be sure to handcuff Rashad Jennings.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
