Who is Kevin Jones' Backup Now?

[tomfin2000]

I own Kevin Jones in a league where I'm a little shallow at RB and have a roster spot available for his handcuff. Obviously, I drop Shawn Bryson now that he's been placed on IR, but who do I pick up? The newly resigned Arlen Harris (who actually looked very good during the preseason) or Brian Calhoon, the promising rookie who was supposed to make some noise but has done nothing.

 

I had heard earlier this season that Calhoon was struggling with picking up the offense. Any updates on his progress or general opinions from the Lions homers out there as to who would be the man if Kevin Jones goes down?

This isn't going to be very helpful but I doubt I would ever bother with Jones' backup. I think the Lions' fallback plan, assuming they have any plans at all, would be to just throw the ball. I don't see any of the available options being worth a roster spot unless you were in total bye week hell.

I think they will give their rookie Calhoon the ball if their star goes down. Especially if they keep losing
