I'm ALL aboard !!!

Today is the first day of the rest of MJ's career. For those of you NOT on board, I pity you.

I love this guy. Tough decision to start him over Mason, but I have faith that he'll grab at least 1 TD over those diminutive DBs for Dallas.

 

[Team Smokin']

I am officially on the Matt Jones bandwagon.

I am hopeful to salute him very soon

 

[Keys Myaths]

I'm fully on the bandwagon...

But he's being benched this week.

 

[Gravity]

He's in over DJAX today.

Let's go White Lightning

Same here. Jones is going to be my achille's heel this year, trying to decide when to start him and when to bench his multiple TDs. He's golden in survivor or "best play" formats, but with normal leagues, I predict headaches for his owners (including me in 2 dynasties)

 

[H8fulHuck]

Have him on one of my teams & I'm not even on the bandwagon.

Let's hope he changes my mind in a hurry.

Matt Jones:

 

[ren hoek]

Took him in the 7th round of a 10-teamer. I really like MJones this year.

 

[Acme CEO]

Left out of the statline: 2 crutial plays inside the 20 in the 2nd half had leftwitch lobbing up jumpers to Jones in the endzone. Both were overthrown. Once leftwich figures out his timing with matt, those targets will start to convert.

 

[Pedro Cerrano Fan]

I'm a believer now. He didn't have a huge game, but I think I'll be starting the guy over Chris Chambers in one league until the Dolphins get their act straight.

 

[Bad_Mo]

I love how Tony Cornholer kept saying that he has Matt Jones on his fantasy team, his catches are good for him, etc.

Obviously, the Mr. Kissazz didn't lay out his league's requirements, but I was thinking....man, his team must suck if he is starting Matt Jones v. PITT.

I think he had another either overthrown or underthrown in week 1 as well. Come'on guys, get some extra PT together and get that timing down. This could be a truly great combo for years to come if they can start connecting on these routes.

The Hail Mary at the end of the half that hit him in the hands drove me crazy...that would've given me the win this week...

It looked like he was limping a little after stretching for the last ball that was thrown his way in the endzone (slightly overthrown)...maybe tweaked the groin a little more?

not sure what the best smilie is but it's gotta be between

[HoTnickZ]

I think there's still a chance to transfer to Reg Williams bandwagon at the next stop.

 

[Gordon Keith]

Is this train out of gas ?? I'm seeing him dropped everywhere.

 

[Jagerbomber]

Is this train out of gas ?? I'm seeing him dropped everywhere.

I hesitated for a couple of weeks before dropping him because I thought for sure somebody would pick him up. 5 weeks later and he's still sitting on waivers, and this is a 14-team league.Between this guy and Chambers I really bombed out with my WR picks. At least chambers has been fairly productive.

 

[Righetti]

ALL ABOARD

 

[PatytonsGhost]

Hes 4 weeks to late, what a football tease, i bet next game he shows up for 2catches 43 yards,

 

[Alluro]

Anyone still on the bandwagon? I'm on it..He sits buried at the bottom of my dynasty roster waiting to pull a patrick Jeffers or Marc Boerigter season out of thin air. Until that glorious day......we wait

 

[Otis]

ALL ABOARD

So, since you dropped him in our dynasty league this week, does that mean the bandwagon is pretty much done?

 

[Righetti]

 

[SaintArnold]

Indeed. I was on this wagon last season. I ended up having Leftwich as my QB2 also, so I watched several Jags games. Matt Jones may be a great athlete, but he's a terrible WR. This year when he was drafted (only Jags receiver drafted in any of my leagues), I would just chuckle.

 

[Alluro]

Not a good sign when the creator of the matt jones thread dumps him

Good stuff in this thread. 6-6 and runs a 4.4 40!!! Woooohooooo!

 

[loose circuits]

i can't wait for him to get to a new team with a fresh start

 

[cstu]

I'm not going to go back and edit my rookie rankings, but I consider Jones a serious option as the second WR on the board. I'd even have to consider him over Braylon Edwards. Note: this isn't based off of one catch. I said the same thing a week or two ago.

ORLY?

Every year of FF teaches you lessons. I used to be big on "high upside" guys like Q. Morgan, Calico, McPherson, and M. Jones. These days? Not so much. It's been my experience that most projects never get finished. If a guy can't play football, he never will be able to play football. The success of guys like Jennings, Gonzalez, and Holmes has definitely taught me a little bit about what type of receivers do well in the league. Jones never had a chance. He was just a big, lumbering dude who could run fast in a straight line. FWIW, I only drafted him in one league and I traded him for a 2008 1st round pick, so he never burned me personally.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
