Saw the report that he is healing pretty good and to start running soon. Has anyone have any updates to his progress and his value this year in a dynasty draft. He is a free agent in my Dynasty Pool and we will be doing a 4 round draft for Rookies and Free Agents after the Draft. I may use a pick on him rather than a rookie if the Value is There.

Thanks for all Input Guys.

The only news I've seen is realted. The resigning of Taylor. The resigning of Toefield. It looks like it's going to be a very crowded backfield.

I didn't realize he (a) had healthy knees and (b) wasn't behind MJD, Taylor, and Toefield on the depth chart.

I was thinking the same thing. I could see him playing FB but I would think his days as RB are over unless injuries to FT, MJD, and/or LToe force him to play RB.

I could see him playing fullback this year because of Taylor and MJD, but I don't see why you would think his days at TB are over forever. His injury wasn't one that should have any serious impact on his abilitities over the long term, and it was looking just last year like he was going to be a capable runner in the NFL.I certainly wouldn't spend a lot to get Jones the fantasy prospect, but I don't think his running career is necessarily over and I don't think he would be behind Toefield on the depth chart in any case.

I wholeheartedly concur.

On this team I think his days are over as the primary RB. FT, MJD, and a recently signed LToe puts him at #4. I don't see why my suggestion is that far fetched. We'll have to disagree. I never said his career was over though, but he has too many guys in front of him in JAX.

I guess our main difference is "guys in front of him". Why assume Toefield is higher on the depth chart? Toefield is a special teamer. That's why he was resigned (for less than a mil BTW). Toefield didn't go anywhere in FA because no one else wanted him.If Taylor goes down, MJD would be the primary and Jones would get significant carries. Toefield might see a carry or two on 3rd downs or as a COP, but nothing significant.However, I do agree than a LOT would have to happen in Jacksonville for Jones to have value this year. I just think he retains SOME value for the future depending on the league and roster requirements. In a redraft for example, I wouldn't touch him unless there is an injury.

Sure, if Taylor goes down they going to give Jones "significant carries". What's not to like about a 3.5 YPA. I can see the Jags coaching staff now: Hey, let's put in Jones when we don't need a solid run game"MJD >>Taylor/Jones - MJD is soon to be the man in J-Ville.

I didn't say Jones was better than MJD. But they aren't going to give a 5'6" RB 400 carries if Taylor goes down. As for Jones' YPC, when your primary role for several years is a short yardage specialist, yeah your YPC isn't going to look great. Stats without putting the situation into perspective doesn't mean much.

MJD will never carry the load alone in this league.It will be either FT and MJD,

or MJD and GJ.

Toefield is a non-issue.

It will be RBBC in Jax, imo.

I'd like to know how you can so definitively say that. He's not a small man. He's short, but he's far from small. At 5'7" 215, he's got about the same height/weight ratio as a 5'11" runningback weighing about 240 pounds.

I agree with Ron Mexico.....RBBC for sure.

HC Jack Del Rio saw the benefits of the two back system by having 2 healthy and productive backs last year.

Fred Taylor / MJD will be used much the same way that they were in '06. If FT goes down, Greg Jones would fill that role along with MJD.
