Hard to bench Jones... So I wouldn't... even with the good defense...

of those 3 defenses, I would probably start the Bills... But there is no conviction to that advice...

I would rank them Jones, Howard and Gabriel. I am a firm believer in Jones but my only hesitance is Mike Daniels missing from the middle of the packers defense. Teams have found much more success on the ground against them since his injury. The concern there is how involved will Cohen be with the offense?

I would still go with Jones IMO.

As for the defenses, if you can trust Washington to stop LF play them because he is their only threat. Otherwise I would go Buffalo as well.

Howard (like most everyone else, Jones at the Bears is too hard to trust and Gabriel is a gadget play)

Bills (lost a starting LB and starting nickel...but still)

Howard and the Bills.

Jones matchup is brutal, Gabriel is just too hit or miss..like miss completely.

And although the Titans are likely the best defense on the list, Barkley and Beckham can make any defense look silly at anytime.

I'd still go Jones in your spot even with the tough match up. I just don't trust Howard at all. He's far too inconsistent and frustrating in my book and he's on my personal do not own list (had him last year. He's not worth the headaches of figuring out if he's gonna have a good game or not)

I'd go Bills D

Howard's gotten 35 carries the last two weeks and averaged 5+ YPC. Pretty solid match-up and I have a feeling he punches one in. I am tempted. Philbin used Jamaal Williams quite a bit more than MM had during the game vs ATL. Jones would have been a total bust if not for the TD.

Maybe I am just rationalizing this so I don't have to play a RB against the Bears... Why do they have to play the Pack with a chance to clinch the division the week of my semi-final matchup? Ugh

What if GB falls behind, though? Jones doesn't play passing downs really. They really like Williams there. I don't know why... it seems like Jones does fine catching/blocking when called upon. But that does seem to be the case.

I don't know... I'm probably over thinking this.

He has been getting passing work. Last game was baffling though
