I'm thinking of grabbing him and had the same thought.Still, its hard to ignore the opportunity he has right now...

Let's hope the choo-choo has a better run this go-round.

Only difference is *I* was never on those bandwagons.
(p.s. - and until Housh comes back, it is too early to say Chris Henry is a "busted wheel")

Nice thing about BJones' siutuation now combined with his poor stats the last few weeks is that he could have a good three games here to help you position yourself for the FF playoffs, and STILL end up with a "rookie-like" EOY stats.I just need him to help me weather my DJax/Engram problems - can't drop 'em, they're putting up 0s, neither is likely back until after the Seattle bye week.

I think more people might have wanted to enlist in the "Bob Ferguson" army. Hasn't he scored 3 TDs in the 4 weeks he's started? I think he's getting 10 ppg by FBG's count, which should put him in the Top 20-25 WRs during that span. I think his targets are low, and that can be a worry, but it also could mean he's got some room to improve his numbers if his targets go up.

I think he was referring to the bob ferguson revolution that Colin (nee Herd) rallied up last summer or two summers ago.Yeah - I am psyched to have Ferguson, though I only have him in leagues where my WR crew is fine - why I couldn't land him in my DJax/Engram league is the luck of the draw.I think more people might have wanted to enlist in the "Bob Ferguson" army.

Sorry, missed that one. I disappeared from these boards in 2003-2004. I don't even remember my old login name, let alone my password. It's been good to be back, and I appreciate how much better FBG is as a whole (even if you guys love the 1972 DolphinsI think he was referring to the bob ferguson revolution that Colin (nee Herd) rallied up last summer or two summers ago.Yeah - I am psyched to have Ferguson, though I only have him in leagues where my WR crew is fine - why I couldn't land him in my DJax/Engram league is the luck of the draw.I think more people might have wanted to enlist in the "Bob Ferguson" army.

Oh how things change in the world of fantasy football in one week.

he's in my starting lineup this week.

True that. Of course, I don't recall anyone in this thread predicting that Bennett was going to get hurt in Week 6 either. Props to you if you did.
I'm back on board the train this week because I do like him (I wouldn't have him on my roster if I didn't) but mainly because I don't have any other choice due to injuries to Horn and DJax and bye-week issues. I'd love for Jones to show us how good he really is given what a prime matchup he has against the Cardinals.

No Antrel Rolle, good news for the Tenn receivers.I like Brandon quite a bit, but this whole thing just seems too good to be true. It's the exact situation where some guy like Roby or even Calico ends up with the big day after the build up to Jones blowing up. And then Jones goes off in his next game after everyone's become disappointed in him. Ahhh the smell of fresh pessimism in the afternoon....I'll probably start him in at least one league.

Sure didn't - just commenting on how quickly things change.Calling him "officially" worthless for fantasy was obviously a premature statement, though.True that. Of course, I don't recall anyone in this thread predicting that Bennett was going to get hurt in Week 6 either. Props to you if you did.
All me "prediction" eggs are in his basket this week (as is obvious from the other threads). Three BJones threads on P.1 - BJ love (LOL!)

:corrected:If its a WR with a big day, I don't see it as still injured Roby or still not back to form Calico - though you COULD be right that Calico is the one to get more deep looks whle BJones stays in his more traditional possession role.
Marc Levin
Hangs out with Oscar Zeta Acosta
yes - i understand you.It's just that with the Tenn. play calling, and the Calico/Roby situations, I don't see either WR getting enough looks - what I guess we MIGHT see is one or both of Calico/Roby getting a deep bomb and/or short TD looks. I concede that you might see Calico/Roby getting bigger yardage numbers or TDs due to that, but I don't forsee either of those WRs having a bigger day absent the big play.
