RB Thomas Jones - Starting (1 Viewer)

[Doctor Detroit]

***Pure opinion***Benson is poised to get more work.Tampa is going to be a pushover.For some reason, Lovie likes to give the ball a little more to Benson at home. At least that's the feel - the numbers don't 100% support that supposition.Look at it this way - the Bears are playing for very little (#1 vs. #2 seed, still likely to attain).What are the odds that TB is down 2-3 scores by the half? Would you put in TJones if he's not 100%, or would you give the rook who is fresher and wants / needs some work the chance?Everything screams Benson today.

I hope you're right but I don't think Tampa will be a pushover and Benson is not a rookie. I do like the point of them getting a nice lead and the reasoning to even play jones.

going with Benson. better pan out.

any further updates from today

You STILL should have drafted Benson instead of Jones.

Dude... stop fulfilling the Raider mystique of Raidah Nation being gang-filled, drug-laden boob'ery....Benson over Jones in drafting...weekly scores:

Jones, Thomas	6.5	6.8	7.1	19.1	13.1	6.3	0	18.2	10.1	14.9	12.6	9.9	3.2	14.6	0	0	0	142.4Benson, Cedric	3.4	2.5	0	3.7	14.6	1.4	0	7.1	3.4	0.8	5.1	8.6	10	6.4	0	0	0	67

The 14 was garbage, that noone in their right mind started circa week.... otherwise.... those 5's, 8's, n' 6's were so money, ... won so many teams a slew of games... LT2 and Benson.Yeah... those you drafted Benson over Jones have done so much better week in, week out...

Congratulations to those wise people on their fine REGULAR SEASON fantasy football performance.

Congrats to knuckles who are in leagues that have their fate decided in some random week (i.e. 15 or 16).Oh, and props to T Jones taking the back seat for Benson. It's early... but 2 yds on 3 carries vs the lowly Bucs... while Jones has 38 total yards... has to feel prophetic.

Let's go to Phil, for an update....

TJones has 63 yards and a Touch

And Benson... hang on.... we're having a tough time getting stats.... 3 for 2.

Glad to see that last touch down.

Maybe, just maybe Benson can get the majority of the carries in the second half now that they have a larger lead.

 

[SteelerMurf]

OK, I the Benson Kool-Aid. I could have played Dunn or Dayne for at least a couple more points.

All I wanted was a simple share of carries like he had the last few weeks. But the day TJ is gimpy, Benson is ignored????

 

[Horses Mouth]

i know. this may cost me the season. i am desperate for help at RB and had to go with either Jones or Benson. so far, i didn't make the right call.

 

[urbanhack]

WHERE IS BENSON?????

 

[shakeybarn]

There ya go!!!!!!! TD Benson.

 

[SteelerMurf]

There ya go!!!!!!! TD Benson.

I guess when I factored in that Chicago would have game in hand for the 2nd half, I forgot to factor in the Chicago defense is a shell of it's former self. TJ running with 6 minutes left in the game

Pure speculation on my part

If Jones gets 17+ carries this week, I will start dating men!NO WAY he comes close to that. Hell, that's almost his normal workload.

So you now enjoy the gay secks?

If Jones gets 17+ carries this week, I will start dating men!

Can't let this die on the second page. Bump to get reactions from the promises that were made...

I'd better start working on my lisp. :( What a GREAT day today was. I got food poisoning last night, and have been puking all day, and if that wasn't enough, I just got detroyed in my playoff game. Good times.

 

[mr. furley]

got killed in my semi-finals too. in fairness, Marty Booker posted a ZERO. Colston came up touchdown-less. Fred Taylor limped off with injury and Steve McNair apparently never saw the field.

:(
