Julius Jones expected to play and start. Rotoworld in denial (1 Viewer)

[Bob Magaw]

the latest from rotoworld (below)... while some owners may be disappointed that he wasn't handed the starting job, probably the best that could realistically be expected (for now) is that he would earn a greater role in a RBBC. with more opportunities than he was getting before (jones got hurt), he will be in a better position to excel in a more equal and side-by-side comparison with jones. if he continues to outplay jones under these conditions, possibly by next year he could become the primary back, or at least the bigger role in a RBBC now seemingly held by jones.

Despite saying Julius Jones would not lose his starting job due to injury, Seahawks coach Jim Mora added that "we’re going to make sure [Forsett] gets touches."

We still don't know if Jones (ribs, lung) is going to play this week, but Forsett is going to be in a timeshare if he does. "Justin has earned the right to carry the ball, off of what he did at Arizona, and what he did this week," Mora said.

if jones is out, would forsett even be a good play vs. the 49ers? they have a good rush d (not like minny), but i can see forsett getting a lot of receptions (like minny). depending on the circumstances of the game, maybe 10-15 carries for 50 + 5-8 rec. for 40. if jones is active, then i see his opportunities even less. 8-10 carries but with still a good chance for 5-8 rec.
