Matt Jones

[wildturkey]

I dunno. Washington appears to be turning into the Patriots when it comes to RBs; a committee of 3 guys with almost no rhyme or reason who plays. There's no way to tell which of the 3 will give you the most production. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Jones, who played the least today, ended up with 15 pts next week and then 2 the following week

I didn't play him this week because of eagles run defense. I don't know if I will next week either because Atlanta will probably force them to play from behind. Though I do expect Atlanta to somewhat bend with the saints game coming up on short rest.

If the whole Redskins soap opera continues, I'm gonna start a new thread entitled "Matt Jones's Diary".

 

[SmokingMonkey]

yea, this is starting to shape up like a real fantasy cluster.
CLE rushing game is probably a better comparison than patriots.
One of those guys will be a RB2/Flex play almost every week, you just won't have a damn clue which one and which week.

They actually look like a well organized franchise compared to all the shit piling the Dolphins are getting right now.

This is nothing like the Pats. You know exactly how each game will start. Morris gets first crack, then Jones with Thompson getting the 3rd down looks. Which back does best depends on game flow and the hot hand. I am betting on Morris early next week, but Jones and Thompson will each get there chances.

By the way, jones carried 7 times, he just could not get it going. Also, Cousins rushing TD would have been Jones' had he not fumbled the center exchange

It is like the Pats though. Because when you got that many RBs, in fantasy, you've basically got none. The best you can hope for is 6 to 7 points out of one of them. That's flex level stuff and when you have to guess which one it'll be, you might as well look for a more reliable flex.

I get what you are saying, but Belichick will completely scheme a guy out of the game plan. That won't happen here. Each player will at least be given a chance to produce each week.

Also, it is not an even split. If a guy is going good between Jones and Morris, they will get getting the rock.

Jones has fumbling problem, but he runs better. Morris does not, but isn't as turnover prone. I should have dropped him for KWill.

Karlos concussion now, I'd hold Jones, no injuries there yet

 

[Stomp]

 

[tlance]

He missed practice Friday.

I am hoping he sits. The Jets are a brutal matchup and I would rather see jones rest a week. Don't be surprised if he gets held out until after the week 8 bye for precautionary reasons.

A few experts predicted a big day for him...

​

4 points? 7 pts in PPR. This was his big opportunity to capitalize...

Can I be done with him now?

I started him in 2 PPR leagues last second replacement for Dion Lewis in both 7 points is better than 0 so i'm happy (Yahoo and ESPN both had him projected at 11)

 

[Robotech]

I used a waiver claim on him 3 or 4 weeks ago, then cut him after a couple low point games. What a waste of a claim for me.

 

[tlance]

He had like 75% of the snaps today, just not many touches due to game flow. Yes, it was disappointing, but I would drop Alf long before dropping Jones.

Still he's not killing it as of yet, might be a year to soon to count on him.

These backs are basically worthless in standard leagues. Its been a large enough sample size to know they can't be depended on. If you're in a deep league, they're at least worth hanging on to if for no other reason than RB is so scarce.

As scarce as decent RB opinion are , don't think I say they are worthless, more like a crap shoot.

I guess it depends on your standard league. I'm talking like 10 team, no flex standard. I'm in a couple of those and there's still decent backs out there like Charles Sims, Duke Johnson, Danny Woodhead, etc. In the one I owned Morris in, I dropped him for James Starks 2 weeks ago.

Like I said a crap shoot.
