I am starting Kevin Jones over ____________ (1 Viewer)

Hard to sit him in a PPR no matter who you have. A (supposedly) healthy Henry rides the pine for me, even though I think Henry has a great match-up and plenty of motivation. The fact that they're winning makes Jones a great play. As long as they're in the hunt for a playoff spot (and the division) he should play as hard as his health will allow. Mini-hijack, but is he eligible to be "comeback player of the year" even though he only missed part of last season?
"comeback player" doesn't require you to miss any time at all the previous year. Though it often goes to a player coming back from a severe injury (a la Garrison Hearst or Steve Smith), it's hardly a requirement. Just look at John Kitna or Drew Brees- they won the award because they were given up for dead and they wound up playing like studs.
 
Snippet from the FBG cheatsheets this week...

Running Back 1. LaDainian Tomlinson - SD at MIN 2. Brian Westbrook - PHI vs DAL 3. Kevin Jones - DET vs DENObviously Dodds would be starting him over basically everyone.

 
I have him over McGahee due to McGahee's matchup.

The fact is, right now, on a game by game basis, I don't see more than 5 or so RBs that I would start ahead of Jones with equal matchups. The number may be less than 5 -

LT2

Peterson

W. Parker

I would start any of those over anyone else, regardless of matchup in almost every case.

Who else gets the nod over KJ on a game to game basis? Not only is the the only guy getting the carries, including goaline and 3rd down, but when the Lions go into passing mode he remains involved.

 
lol, you're so incredibly knowledgeable. :shrug: All you need to know is fantasy football is a compilation of numbers in which one attempts to utilize players in more favorable situations. that stat illustrates the position kevin jones was in. the fact his team was involved in a blowout has nothing to do with his hype leading in to the game. so go ahead and step down off the throne there, scooby. :goodposting:

 
Tough game today. He had 60 yards on 10 carries half way through the second, then just nothing materialized and the Lions kept scoring on defense.

So much for the great matchup - welcome to FF.

Same here. Who would have guessed the Chargers would have no chance to stop him.
I'm in that boat as well. So far, I'm doing OK, but that would have been nice to have 39.9 more points.
Same here except for the doing OK part :hifive:
:shrug: Actually, I have Peterson in three leagues and started him in two of them, so I at least I wasn't totally shut out, but it looks like I'll barely lose the game where I benched him, which sucks.I mean, what can you do? Both Dodds and Bloom had KJ over Peterson this week too. You play long enough this stuff happens.If there was any doubt that Peterson has reached "Never ever ever bench status", this week erases it. Better to learn that now than during the ff playoffs.
