No..no and no.
K.Jones is not a W.Dunn/R.Bush/B.Westbrook type back.... he doesn't need a goal line replacement. I expect Duckett to come in periodically to give Jones a quick breather.Bell might as well suit up as a cheerleader...that's as much action as I see him getting.
KJ will play until he feels he needs a break. Duckett will get 5-8 carries a game depending on how the game is going.KJ is 6-0 228, so he is not a small RB.
Anthony, as a KJ dynasty owner I have really, really appreciated all of your updates and insights throughout the offseason and now the season. You always seem to be well informed.My take on the question: KJ is a complete back and will be relieved only for a breather. I do think Duckett may be worth owning, however, in case KJ gets injured again. If that happens Bell becomes the change of pace for Duckett, but I think Duckett will get a chance to carry the load should KJ go down. I think Bell is only worth owning in dynasty now and only deep dynasty in the expectation that he will be with another team next year; but, even then, I wonder if anyone else will give him a chance to start.
Don't be silly, the cheerleaders will get far more action than Tatum Bell.K.Jones is not a W.Dunn/R.Bush/B.Westbrook type back.... he doesn't need a goal line replacement.

Bennett is decent comparison. I think he's got talent, but obviously he's got holes in his game. There's no way it can be the coaches fault everywhere he goes.Edited to add; he probably has holes in his attitude as well.
The Lions don't have Cheerleaders....Duckett looked good in the few situations he ran in last week. KJ will carry the entire load, except for when he is winded, until he gets hurt again....and it is going to happen if they continue to rely on him as much as last week. I don't understand all the KJ love, DETROIT IS A PASSING TEAM, folks. I you are betting that Martz is going to turn into a grinder you might as well flush your cash down the ####ter.Don't be silly, the cheerleaders will get far more action than Tatum Bell.K.Jones is not a W.Dunn/R.Bush/B.Westbrook type back.... he doesn't need a goal line replacement.

I don't think you'll hear anyone complaining if Kevin Jones' role on a passing team resembles that of Brian Westbrook or Marshall Faulk or what Joseph Addai was supposed to be before RBBC emerged there.Actually a RB that averages 15 carries and 7 receptions is more valuable than one that averages 20 carries and 2 receptions.The Lions don't have Cheerleaders....Don't be silly, the cheerleaders will get far more action than Tatum Bell.K.Jones is not a W.Dunn/R.Bush/B.Westbrook type back.... he doesn't need a goal line replacement.

That didn't stop Kevin Jones from being a top 10 fantasy RB last year before he was injured.
So the cheerleaders will get as much action as Tatum Bell then.
Maybe if the Lions had cheerleaders, they could motivate Tatum Bell.
I'd love this to be true, but let's not forget that KJ sustained his recent injury on a goal line carry (against my Vikings if memory serves me correct). I'd expect that to be on Martz' mind when he's trying to decide who gets to punch it through the pile. KJ has had an injury concern in the past, so I do think the Lions will modify how he's used without declining his touches too much, and short-yardage situations are likely to get looked at.
Thanks for taking care of that for me.So the cheerleaders will get as much action as Tatum Bell then.
Duckett has only been active in week 1 and week 7. Tough to say if Duckett will get goal line carries or not...but one thing is for sure, and that is KJ has been prone to injury.Evilgrin 72 said:
I agree. KJ is the man. The offense really moved the ball with him in there. They sustained drives, and therefore KJ needed some breathers. TJ filled in nicely when needed. He ran hard and moved the ball. It took 3 and 4 guys to bring him down on those smashes up the middle. He is a much better #2 than Bell, who seems to go down on the first contact far too often. I liked what I saw with him in the game.
