Fantasy Jesus Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Anybody else hear about this? I need Freddy this Sunday at home vs Houston. Jacksonville Jaguars: Running back Fred Taylor had an MRI on his left knee, but coach Jack Del Rio called it a "precautionary measure." Results were not expected until Tuesday at the earliest. Taylor had a season-high 165 yards rushing and a touchdown in a 28-25 victory over Green Bay on Sunday. He injured his knee late in the second half, but returned to the game. Del Rio said team doctors scheduled the test to be certain Taylor was OK. Taylor has a history of injury problems. "We want to make sure there is nothing going on in there," Del Rio said. Taylor has 1,224 yards rushing, 345 yards receiving and three touchdowns this season. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1949999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Jesus Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 More on Freddy. The Jags are downplaying it . . . Taylor's knee examined Although Fred Taylor insists he will play against the Texans, Del Rio said the veteran running back had a precautionary MRI exam on his bruised knee Monday. Taylor ran for a season-high 165 yards on 22 carries against the Packers but left in the second half with the injury. He said afterward that it was minor and that he expects to make his 47th consecutive start this weekend. "There is some soreness in his knee, so that's why we're going to make sure there is not a problem,'' Del Rio said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Jesus Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I guess I'm the only one who cares about Fred Taylor this week. OK terrific. I guess I'll speak myself off the ledge. Reassuring news from Rotoworld . . . Fred Taylor insists his knee is fine and he'll be ready to start next Sunday. Results of his MRI should be revealed Wednesday. It would be very surprising if Taylor sat with a playoff spot on the line. Dec. 21 - 4:23 pm et Source: Florida Times-Union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 You are probably in the minority of Fred Taylor owners who are still alive in the play-offs, due to his whopping 2 TD total all year. But you did a nice job of keeping yourself updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyk93 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I care! I will be starting Freddy this week to replace the now useless Rueben Droughns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Yep..Me too. Need Freddy to repeat last week's perfomance which helped me get to the SB. If not, I'll be starting Shaud Williams agaist SF (ouch) Any Jax homers out there who can keep us posted would be much appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman005 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'd still be interested in any updates on Fred from JAX homers. CBS reports him as questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 In 1 league I have to set the entire lineup before todays game. I am leaning toward sitting Taylor in favor of either Tatum Bell or shaud williams.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 It's such a shame about Taylor. The guy is a joy to watch run...but he just can't seem to stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramhock Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I owned Fred a few years ago. He was questionable like 6 weeks in a row, and didn't play a one of them. I am going with Rueben. My other choices were Moe & Branch. I'm sure we won't know anything about Fred by Denver's kickoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a joy to watch run...but he just can't seem to stay healthy. 629394[/snapback] Huh ??? Fred Taylor has played for 46 straight games. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. We need to find out if he practices on FRIDAY to have a better idea. He played on it last week and he's been saying all week that he fully intends on playing this week. If Freddy doesn't play this week my other options are J Jones or Shaud Williams. We're going to have to wait another day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Taylor Del Rio hopeful on Taylor The NFL doesn't have a "red flag'' category for injuries, but it certainly raised one for the Jaguars when running back Fred Taylor missed practice Thursday for the second consecutive day with a sprained knee. Del Rio, though, remains confident Taylor will be able to play, though he's officially listed as questionable. "We've had some red flags for a while,'' he said. "Marcus Stroud has been battling with a knee for several weeks. We've got a pretty good plan on how we can get our best players to the game as prepared as possible.'' Looks like he is playing unless Del Rio lies like shanahan and tice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Huh ???Fred Taylor has played for 46 straight games. 629585[/snapback] Too many partial games during those 46, ala Chris Brown and waayyy too many Questionables, Doubtfuls & GTD's during those 46 games as well. Taylor dinged up is unforunately his modus operandis and is normal for him. That's what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
