Jags are on a bye so I'd not expect too much information concerning the injury to Matt Jones until next week about this time. The last report was that he would not play in the Jets game and they hoped he'd be 100% after the bye. If I hear anything else I'll be glad to post it.I've listened to this thing twice and still can't get the answers to my question....has anyone played this thing backwards?

THE NEWS
Wide receiver Matt Jones, who was held out of the Jaguars' week five win over the Jets in order to rest groin and hamstring injuries, hopes to return to action soon. "The plan is to try to run on it at the end of the week," Jones told the Florida Times-Union. "We'll see what happens."
Our View
Jones has yet to return to practice, and in his absence early this season Byron Leftwich has turned to Reggie Williams as his go-to receiver. However, a healthy Jones would be not only a huge addition to the Jacksonville offense but also a potential fantasy force over the second half of the season.

i'm sure glad that FBG staff think there are no problems with the The Shark Pool Forum 
this thread should be the poster child of what is wrong with this place, the guy asks for info on Matt Jones, and it becomes a place where people can share their inside jokes.
For real, WAKE UP FBG staff, bring on some administrators to watch this place.
From what I've read, Jones is not practicing 100% and there hope is that he will be good to go after the bye week. I think it's safe to say though that Reggie has taken a firm grasp of the #1 WR spot in Jacksonville.

I'm one of the last guys to defend the mods...but given the sheer quantity, there is no ####### way to eliminate non-quality posts.
that said, I'm short on WRs this week and it's btw Jones and Anita Bryant on who to drop. I'm leaning to dropping the Jones boy. even if he is healthy, that bum Williams looks like he's finally becoming the guy they drafted him to be.

Is it coincidence that the Jags has struggled a bit (ok they blew the crap out of the Jets but still) since Jones has been less than 100%? Of course the emergence of MJD definitely added more dimension to the offense.I had to drop Jones to get a defense this week. What can you do. If he has a huge 2nd half, more power to the ******* who picked him off waivers.

Take out the posts with people #####ing about not staying on topic and this thread would be almost legible.
Good point, we'll start with your post.The time to get Matt Jones cheap is now. Leftwich is on pace for a career year. Jones is going to be very juicy in a few weeks.

if he plays....anyone have any update on his hammy?

There are too many other WRs out there that are actually producing. He is a waste of a roster spot.
I dumped him 2 weeks ago, and the scrubs I picked up are actually playing and scoring points.

It's called an injury, football players get them. To say he's a waste of a roster space is a joke.

I was high on him at the beginning of the year but he has been all but invisible in the passing game. Dear God...George "Freakin" Wrighster has more catches and yards than Jones. I'd drop his sorry, injury prone @-z-z if it wouldn't cost me a $5 transaction fee.

He'll certainly come cheap, but I'm a bit skeptical as to his production going forward. He may have some good weeks, but there's a lot of mouths to feed among the receiving group. Reggie seems to have emerged as Byron's favorite target, and I think we'll hear more from Marcedes Lewis as the season progresses.

He may not be a waste of a roster space, but I wouldn't anticipate big numbers from him. Jacksonville likes to run the ball, and with Jones being out, Leftwich has developed some good chemistry with Williams. Jones doesn't have more than 6 catches or more than 73 yards in a game this season, and no TDs.
I think if you're hoping for Jones to come back and stay healthy while waltzing back into the WR1 spot, I think you're going to be disappointed on numerous fronts. He's always injured, and Williams seems to have the WR1 spot locked down. Its disappointing, because he has so much talent, but he can't seem to stay healthy long enough to get get settled into the offense. I had him and let him go three weeks ago.

I'm in the same camp as zamboni and jpeace. If he is worth a roster space I guess depends on a few variables related to your league (roster space, cost of getting/keeping him). I also think the bye weeks impact the decision too.
I think if you have a spare spot on the bench that does not need to be productive right now he is worth it. If you have limited bench space and have to start 3 wr's and If you are losing a lot of games and all you have are decent WR's and need to play matchups week to week you might not be able to afford to have him there "just in case".
For reasons mentioned previously, I don't think M Jones is as valuable as he once was. At the beginning of the year I felt he had a 70% chance or better of seriously out producing his draft position. I feel like now that number has dropped significantly, maybe 30% chance because of the Reggie Williams production, the running game, and all the M Jones unkowns.
I wish I had the space to hang on to him, but I am losing games right now. So for me I couldn't afford to keep him in either of my leagues.

Injured Jaguars Getting Better
Mark Long, Associated Press - [Full Article]
The bye week came at a good time for the Jacksonville Jaguars. WR Matt Jones DT Marcus Stroud, DE Marcellus Wiley and RB Maurice Drew spent the bye week rehabbing injuries while their teammates enjoyed three and a half days off. All four players sat out a light practice Monday but
hoped to return Wednesday and play Sunday at Houston. "Everybody got time to heal," DT John Henderson said. "It was especially good for the D-line."

I have to agree. He was really becoming a focal point of the passing game before the injury. Hopefully a few weeks off will help in the stretch run. I kept him on my roster through all of this because I do think he'll rebound.That said, I'm strongly considering dropping him for Michael Clayton (who I had earlier and DID drop) (if Clayton becomes more involved, well, at least he's PLAYING!). There are others in that vein who I might consider over Jones, but I definitely would grab him if you have the room - the reward could be great.

The key in fantasy is to anticipate and not enough people do it, they follow the herd and what a player did last week. I can understand dropping him if you have limited rosters, bye weeks, etc but while Jones and Williams were both healthy Jones had more targets and the same # of yards. To say that Williams is now the man there is silly. Ya, while Jones has been out Lefty has been throwing to him but when Jones comes back he has abilities that Williams doesn't have. It does no good to wait for Jones (or any player for that matter) to blow up and then hope that you have the top waiver pick, the key is to anticipate and pick the player up before they have that big game. He's got the talent, he will get the opportunity, the key is his health. With a tremendous schedule coming up it would be wise if you had the roster spot to pick him if he's available over a Wes Welker, Hagan or other trash people are picking up.....

Why would it be silly? In the games that Matt & Reggie played together, Reggie actually has more targets. The Jax receivers are still developing and there isn't a clear #1 yet. Matt has potential, but so does Reggie, who was drafted higher: 9th vs 18th. Reggie developed slow last year and but looks to be on the verge of breaking out, if you beleive the 3d yr wr theory. Of course, that doesn't mean Matt can't be productive as well. I see Wilford being the odd man out when Matt returns.

Jones was only healthy for the first 2 games, the 3rd he sat out, then was reinjured in the 4th. In the 1st two games Jones had one more target 9-11 (as opposed to 7-12 for Williams) and they had the same number of yards and Williams had a TD. My point was they were splitting the load while both were healthy, Jones goes out so of course Williams gets more, but when Jones returns there is no reason to think that it won't return to the way it was. They are both talented but Williams didn't put a strangehold on the position while Jones was out. He had 10 catches over 3 games with #'s like 2-8, 4-94-2 and 4-53-1. Yes he got TD's but I'd venture to say that Jones has as good/better red zone ability.

He landed on my WW about 5 minutes ago. (his owner needed a kicker) I'm not sure what to do with him.

Pick him up. Stash him on your IR.

Our IR is jacked - we can only use it if the guy is on the real IR. Might just give it a day or two. Wait til the guy that dropped him thinks he can get him back, then break his heart.
I think even with Reggie getting looks these past few weeks that Matt Jones has some strong games in him. I think the 2nd half may be a bit hit or miss though.

I agree with Banger. And something all owners that have Jag WRs need to keep in mind is that Leftwich likes to spread the ball around. Williams and Jones should get more targets than anyone else when healthy, but people like Wilford, Taylor, Drew, Wrightster, M. Lewis, Wimbush and sometimes Brady will continue to get looks and targets when match-ups favor them. I wouldn't look for Leftwich to develop a Marvin Harrison/Manning type relationship with one WR. Everything I've seen so far points to Leftwich contunuing to spread the targets around.

That's it, I'm cutting him. I no longer believe he's going to get healthy anytime soon.

Just verified this on the Jaguars.com injury report for this week. I wonder if he has some kind of tear in his groin ( :X ) or hamstring. Deep down, I think that this is the coach telling him to sit out one more since this isn't exactly their toughest match-up. Why bring him in less than 100% for a game that they should be able to have a decent passing game with their other receivers.Mr. Brownstone said:
