Matt Jones buy low? (1 Viewer)

[Devius]

with jones being out for so long his value has hit rock bottom. he can be had for dirt cheap if he hasnt been dropped to the waivers already. he was targeted a good amount in the first two games and the numbers williams has been getting could have very well been Jones', of course its speculation. take a look the the JAX schedule coming up

at Philadelphia

Tennessee

Houston

NY Giants

at Buffalo

at Miami

Indianapolis

at Tennessee

New England

at Kansas City

alot of potential shootouts in the coming weeks

if you have the roster spot or want to trade for him cheap he maybe just worth it in the end.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Definitely should not be a free agent in any league. His owners would be foolish to trade him now since they've already absorbed the cost of his injury. He and Leftwich looked like they had something developing before he got hurt - some trust on Leftwich's part which included consistently placing the ball where only Jones could get it.

Jones could be a viable WR3 with WR2 upside once he's back to full speed.

 

[Devius]

owners maybe starting to get nervous... the scratch for the houston game after an extended rest time after the bye and the emergence of williams could be causes to push owners to want to unload him.

I have a combination of at least two of Reggie , Earnest & Matt in every league (6) i'm in. I also have leftwhich in 4 out of six leagues. I just picked up Garrard as well until I hear something definative on Lefty.Jax has a sweet schedule starting with the Texans tomorrow.

IF and WHEN Healthy (and that is a BIG IF), Matt Jones looked like he could put up top 15 WR type numbers. But his injury is a great concern, especially when you can't get a detail description to the nature of his injury. Even more alarming is the idea that he is again OUT for another week despite the bye and already missing a couple of weeks.

I think I'm in a position to hold him, although it'll make juggling the next few bye weeks (7/8/9) a little tricky. I just think he could be big if you trust the reports that he'll be pretty close to 100% when he returns.

I'll put him in the high risk / high reward category.

Do you think Jax has the offense to have 2 WRs putting up top 15 type numbers? Reggie Williams looks like he's for real - he's been a beast with Jones ailing, but Matt Jones could easily cut into his numbers, and vice versa.

 

[minister]

I have Matt Jones in a keeper and am holding, but disappointed.

If he goes off on a heater later this season, I'll be looking to move him.

I'm pretty concerned about his ability to stay on the field.

I think he needs a fair bit of work before he lives up to his top-shelf potential.

And he's not getting it in the tub.

 

[Big Score]

Definitely should not be a free agent in any league.

I've seen Matt Jones as a FA in a lot of leagues with small rosters & the byes. Some leagues you just can't carry dead wood.

 

[Flyin Pigs]

I picked up Mike Clayton a day before Matt Jones was sent to the WW in my league. I'm going to watch what Mike does this week and if I see signs of improvement I'll stay, if not I'm getting Jones. I agree that Matt Jones may be a situation that I'd have to sit on for a few weeks, but w/ Mike Clayton, Troy Williamson and D Mason on my roster, it ain't like carrying underachievers is something I'm allergic to...of all the guys tht are potentially on the WW at wide-out, I best like Jones' chances of producing good numbers IF he gets healthy.

 

[seahawk 17]

Dropped him, I don't have time for this ####.

 

[Macdaddy_2004]

owners maybe starting to get nervous... the scratch for the houston game after an extended rest time after the bye and the emergence of williams could be causes to push owners to want to unload him.

Or could be a valid concern

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

It's Reggie's team now. Jones simply has not produced career to date like the blossoming Williams. Jones performance currently mimics Williams performance last year and the year prior. In other words, Jones hasn't done jack, and I don't expect him to do jack when he returns.

Williams is on the cusp of being a satisfactory 85-90% replacement of Jimmy Smith. I definitely did not think he would become as valid as he has in this offense but I was dead wrong, happy to say (since Reggie is my WR4 in a WR3 league).

Relative Importance of Jax WRs...

Williams

Jones

Wilford

[el-gato-grande]

My concern is more about Leftwich's health. Jones numbers took a hit last year with Garrard under center.

Jones status for this week?

Jaguars injury recap

Written by: MICHAEL C. WRIGHT ¦ 10/24/2006

Source: www.jacksonville.com

Jack Del Rio changed the focus on quarterback Byron Leftwich from his ankle to his arm as the Jaguars coach attempted to keep the season from spinning out of control.

Del Rio, who admitted Sunday that he considered yanking Leftwich in the 27-7 loss to Houston, said Monday that he expects Leftwich to start the next game in Philadelphia on Sunday.

After missing the last two games, Jaguars defensive tackle Marcus Stroud could be forced to sit out this week, too.

His ankle injury is a little more significant than a common sprain. Del Rio revealed on Monday that Stroud also has a bone bruise in the ankle.

"I think the thing that is making it more difficult is there is a bone bruise involved, and that's where the ligament is healed and is feeling good and then there's still this soreness that is in the bone," Del Rio said. "There is a bone bruise that has to heal and it's going to take some time."

WR Matt Jones (hamstring) started running last week, but Del Rio wouldn't put set a timetable for his return.

 

[Flyin Pigs]

I've read today that he's running (blurb on CBSSportsline) but I haven't heard any news on whether he's able to practice.

ETA _ Devious beat me to the punch.

 

[Byron_nyc]

If someone picks him up and makes a great end run with him, bless em, but I put Matt on the wire this week. There's great upside there, sure, but --

The injury is obviously pretty bad, or he wouldn't have missed, what, six weeks already?

You might get just as lucky with Wilford as Jones. Or, perish the thought, Reggie Williams is the realio dealio.

There is just way too much uncertainly to defend rostering him if you have other needs.

At a certain point you have to put your pre-season outlook aside; I think this is one of those situations.

And I'm an old fan and owner going back with this guy, and I wish him well.

He is in all my 12 team leagues and one 10 teamer, why because I cut him in some of them. I'd rather have a M. Turner on my bench then a Matty Jones..He should be available in all 12 team leagues with 15-17 roster spots. Bye weeks cause people to cut loose

If I recall correctly Del Rio said that Jones was running but was not running full speed. That doesn't sound good.

Someone in my dynasty league offered me Matt Jones for what right now looks like the 4th pick in the rookie draft. I passed.

4th overall pick or 4th round pick? If the former, no way. If the latter, yes way.Any news on Jones today at practice?

I'm a Jones owner and I agree with SrVBD. What has Jones done to convince me he's better than Williams? In the first 4 games, 13 catches for 157 yards and no TDs vs Williams' 20 catches for 250 yards and 3 TDs.

[ffgiant]

I own both of them in a dynasty league. I believe R. Williams is better than Jone dynasty or redraft.

By the way, Wilford is currently on Waiver wire, should I pick him up too?

Yeah...Williams had a great game last week. Jones is the #1 WR on the Jags.

 

[JohnnyU]

I just don't get the love affair with Matt Jones. He's a converted QB, learning a new position, and quite possibly could be one of the most over hyped WR in some time. Is he over hyped because he has some speed and he is white? I know that wasn't politically correct, but it had to be said. Is he a supped up Joe Jurevicius?

 

[Jayrod]

This is Jones' second year, so there is still a ton of value in dynasty. I'm still hanging onto him in a 12-team redraft league where we can start up to 5 WR's (PPR league). The WW is very bare and his potential once (if?) he comes back is greater than anyone else out there. It hasn't burnt me yet as I balanced out my roster fairly well with bye weeks, but I can see dropping him in many other formats or if I desparately needed to pickup someone to play this week.

His only problem so far has been his injuries. Other than that, he has performed as I think most expected. He finished well last year and was off to a decent start this year. His size and speed are very impressive and his willingness to be a WR shows he isn't so stuck on himself as many other "QB projects" in the past. Without the injuries, he would probably have performed well for his ADP.

I agree. Injuries have plagued Jones. If you watched any of his games, he can get seperation dispite his 6'6" frame. And once the ball is in the air, very few DBs can jump with him.

That's fine and all, just keep in mind Jones was injured in week 2, was a GTD in week 3 (one that burned a few of us). After 2 weeks, they had 11/144 and 14/142/1. Reggie failed miserably in week 3 against the Colts, but looked dominant in week 4 against the Skins. You can say Jones hasn't shown anything to convince you he's better than Reggie, but aside from staying healthy, what has Reggie done to convince you that he's better?

 

[Summer Wheat]

jones seems too brittle to count on him. Just read that his hammy is not fully healed yet too.
