Maurice Jones-Drew says players get updates on their fantasy matchups during games.
Jones-Drew is an avid fantasy player that has actually hosted a fantasy football show on SiriusXM, so perhaps he's a special case. But one story he told is a little disconcerting. "I was playing against [Greg Jones]. And we have our equipment guys keep us up on [the fantasy scores] during games. You know who you have and you see when you're not on the field obviously but...I think if I scored, I was going to [beat Jones]. We got onto the 1-yard line, and they were like, ‘We better call this run play.' I’m like, 'Greg, don’t do it.' And he looked at me and he winked. And I was like 'Greg.' It’s not time to play. This is bigger than [winning in fantasy]. Let's not do this." When asked what the wink meant, Jones-Drew said Jones wasn't going to block.
