2008 Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Notes - Jacksonville Jaguars

There's no doubt about it. What made the Jacksonville Jaguars go in 2007 were the legs of running backs, Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. While the passing game mired in mediocrity, ranking 17th in the league, Taylor and Jones-Drew led a running attack that ranked 2nd in the league, behind only the Minnesota Vikings. While most running backs peter out as they past their 30s, Taylor seems to be getting stronger with age as he once again stayed healthy enough to play in 15 games, most likely due to the rest he's able to get now with Jones-Drew in the mix. Taylor's health allowed him to put together one of his best seasons in 4 years, going for 1202 rushing yards and 5 rushing TDs. His 5.4 yards per carry placed him just behind Adrian Peterson's 5.6 yards per carry for the league lead among runners with 150 carries or more. No question, 2007 was an outstanding year for "Formerly Fragile" Fred. 2007 was also a good year for Jones-Drew, though maybe not as great as many expected after his 1377 total yards and 16 TDs in 2006. Still, Jones-Drew was solid going for 1175 total yards and 10 scores.....
