vs Dolphins 22 101 1 0 3 2 - OK, so I'll start him

vs Patriots 17 70 0 2 5 - well could be worse and even the best have off weeks...

vs Chargers 10 37 1 2 17 - crap. Well at least he scored, here we go.......

vs Cardinals Coal Crackers 18 46 0 2 23 - OK you POS I finally get it already, you suck, you're benched

vs Bengals 17 65 2 0 3 13 1 - #$@. Thx for going off. OK but it was just Cincy, fool me once and all, not falling for that

vs Raiders 24 159 0 1 - damn you're for real, OK you're back, great, I'll start you vs sucky KC!

vs Chiefs 14 54 1 0 1 6 - #@$@$%&*$#%^!

Nothing more frustrating than turds who do just enough often enough that you have to consider starting them, only to have them suck when you finally do.

Don't blame Jones. You've a new o-line and an offensive coordinator that has been mis-using him all season long. Schottenheimer is the turd here.
 
You forgot a week:

at Buffalo 12 69 1 0 6 38

He's the #6 RB in my league over the last 6 weeks. What's the problem exactly?

Considering the lack of carries, he's done a great job. Maybe the coaches will realize it and give him more.

 
He's been solid. The only frustrating part was the Chiefs game, where you thought he would have a big game and he was just solid.

I don't think they've been misusing him at all. TJ's touches are often dependent on the defensive scheme/game situation the team is facing. When you have a dynamic counterpunch in Leon, the coaching staff wants to get him the ball as well.If a 5-3 record is symptomatic of misuse, then I say keep misusing Jones. (Yes, I know the defense has played a big part in their record).

I gotta run to work, so I'll keep this short. Schottenheimer is trying to be too cute. Instead of carving out an offensive identity, he is trying to pass when we should run, and run when we should pass (e.g. third and inches, they throw deep into double coverage, then punt instead of just letting Jones get the first down against KC).I love Leon, don't get me wrong. He is our biggest playmaker. However, there were times against Oakland and KC when Jones didn't play for several series. Personally, I don't buy the TJ's touches are often dependent on the defensive scheme/game situation the team is facing. Yeah, I know that's what Mangini is saying. I just disagree with it. Jones should be getting more than 12/14 carries per game.

:thumbdown: Big Red, what more are you expecting? Old LT numbers??
 
I'm not sure if I follow the logic of the OP. Jones has been exactly what I hoped for, if not more, when I drafted him as my RB2 in the fourth or fifth round. He's the #12 RB in my league, based on total points and weekly average, and the guy has been a borderline stud the past month, racking up double digits and being a reliable scoring option.

On draft night, if everyone knew that through 9 weeks that he would have outproduced LT2, Marshawn Lynch, Ernest Graham, MJD, Jamal Lewis and Steven Jackson, the guy would have gone in the second round. What more do you want?

:goodposting: T Jones is actually bringing me more than I expected when I drafted him as a # 2 rb. You could definitely do a lot worse.
 
Yes. While he's rewarded me with his production, it's obvious that Washington is the better back. I expect a complete disappearing act in critical playoff games.

People have been saying that for two years now, I highly doubt that happens in the next 6 games.

:thumbup: I was going to post something just like this. TJ was totally misused in the Chiefs game - they should have pounded the ball on several occasions but went empty backfield on 3rd and 1 twice. I understand trying to creat mismatches, but you don't come out throwing 50 times in a game when the opponent had given up over 380 yards and 4 TDs the week before.

I don't get what some of you don't get, unless you've never played in a H2H league or have some weird scoring system. It's that he's been largely hot and cold and knowing when to start or not start him. I'd rather he either be consistently good (doesn't have to be amazing) or just suck. Actually I have several players like that so maybe I should've made the thread more general........
 
I would place blame squarely on the shoulders of the FF Team manager ... TJ has been a draft day steal and should be in the lineup every week

 
NYJETS upcoming schedule:

10: STL

11: @NE (thur night game)

12: @Ten

13: Den

14: @SF

15: Buf

16: @Sea

I see 4 great opportunities (STL, Den, @SF, @Sea),........2 middle of the road (@NE, Buf).......and 1 Bad Matchup (@Ten)

Also NOTE: TJ should have favorable matchups during the wk14 and wk16 Fantasy playoffs

Did you start him today or were you still punishing him for his "inconsistency" this season?
 
Good ole TJones... I have hated to see him blowing up the past two weeks.

When I traded away TJones for Larry Johnson the Friday prior to LJ going off for 200/2... I thought it was highway robbery :bag:

 
Drafted him in the 5th rd of my total pts league as RB1, and he is paying off. Have not pulled him from the lineup besides the bye week. Some times we get to cute with thinking there are better matchups in fantasy football.
