Who are you starting Thomas Jones over? (1 Viewer)

[jviddy]

I have finally seen the light (I think.) I have been starting Gore and Tomlinson, but also have Thomas Jones. While LT2 scored twice last week, Jones is running the ball much better. He's also been getting a ton of carries lately. For those of you that drafted Jones thinking he'd be a 3rd running back, who are you now starting him over? Curious to see where people have Thomas Jones rated right about now. Is he an every week starter, or are some of you playing the matchup game?

I have used him as my #2 all year behind Gore. He was my #1 when Gore was out. My other RBs include Moreno, Bradshaw, Coffee and Morris.

A better question - who would I trade him for? This gives a better gauge for how i value him.

Obviously I would trade him for ADP, MJD, Turner, Westbrook, Ray Rice, C Johnson

I would consider trading him for Jackson, Jacobs, Barber, D Williams

Guys I wouldn't trade him for -

any other Cowboys RB, Mendenhall/Parker, Portis, Lynch/F Jackson, Benson, Lewis, J Jones, Hightower/Wells, LT/Sproles, Fargas/McFadden/Bush, any Buc, R Williams/R Brown, J Stewart, McGahee/McClain, McCoy, Charles/L Johnson, Slaton/Moats/C Brown, Forte

Westbrook, really? May be in the consider column if Westbrook heals ok? He has one okay game in week 6 against Oak.

I don't think I would trade him for Westbrook or Barber or Jacobs. I'd definitely trade him for MJD, Peterson, Turner, C Johnson....probably D Williams as well.

I was looking at tier 1 receivers today, and he's outscored them all.

Hoping to deal S. Rice for him. The Jones owner is short receivers and I'm short RB's. We'll see on Wednesday.

.......were you able to get him for S Rice? That's a steal no matter what his RB/WR look like

Not straight up. Just completed the deal.T. JonesM. Clayton (Balt.)ForS. RiceC. Wells (hated to give him up with easy schedule, but he insisted)

I'm the owner of an aging dynasty team that sold all it's youth last year to make the championship game (and then lost that game to the DeAngelo Williams buzzsaw). Thus, T. Jones has been my RB1 all season. I start him over everyone.

I dont know about considering trading jones for d williams i think you just flat out have to. Especially in dynasty leagues

I'm not starting him over anyone, since he's on a bye this week.

In a normal week, though, I have to decide to play him or LT as my RB2 (Ray Rice is RB1.) Usually I've been picking LT and regretting it. I think next week my regular lineup becomes Rice and Jones, with LT and Portis on my bench.
