Jones-DrewFantasy Football site KFFL.com has come out with their list of “Overvalued Fantasy Players” for the 2007 season.  Jags RB Maurice Jones-Drew is the #2 RB on their list of Overvalued Players.  Below are the comments on Jones-Drew:    

Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars

“Mo-Jo” comes off a season in which he was arguably THE breakout fantasy star of the year. He ran for 941 yards and 13 touchdowns while also entering the end zone twice on passes and once on returns. He was a potent threat that probably catapulted more than a few fantasy teams to victory with his surprising output. While he isn’t expected to completely fall off the map, owners cannot bank on the fact that he will match last season’s output. For one, he is no longer a secret weapon and teams will be scheming out ways to stop him. He is a small but thick back, and if teams start keying in on him, he could encounter some difficulties. Fred Taylor, their other running back, also warrants a good amount of touches. The Jaguars may be looking to pass a bit more this season, and it’s difficult to expect a back in a timeshare to repeat 16 total touchdowns. Jones-Drew is more of a midlevel No. 2, but he is often drafted as more than that.
