Anyone else starting Matt Jones tonight?

I'm going to have to end up sitting Jeremy Hill in one league and one of Ivory/Abdullah/Woodhead in the other but I think I'm going all-in on this kid tonight. I don't expect anything off the wall but if he gets a 50/50 split of early down work and also operates as the passing back, I think he'll produce very nicely.

it's risky, but i may be in the same boat as you, with ivory being a question mark at this juncture...i think the G-men are going to stack the box and cut off the run, forcing captain kirk to throw, throw, throw and try to replicate those 4 picks he had against them last season... :2cents:

I'm starting Matt Jones tonight in two leagues (team in my sig) sitting Carlos Hyde, Frank Gore, and J Stew for him - figure why not take a chance. Still rolling with Anderson - gonna ride that ship till it's laying in the bottom of the sea.

 

Another league I'm sitting Vereen and Spiller for him..

Even in that event, hopefully he can be the beneficiary of some checkdown goodness.

In the 1 league I got him, he's on the bench in favor of Blount. I have a feeling this will be a Blount type week for the Pats.

Yeesh - that's a tough one. You couldn't pay me to start Blount right now. I guess it's possible they use him if they're up by a ton . . . but they were up by a fair amount last week and he was nowhere to be found.

Abdullah's game last week scared the crap out of me - he's another guy I have in both leagues but, man, if he lays another egg on me this week I'll have problems. I'll probably be sitting Ivory, unless it comes out prior to gametime that he's not playing . . . then Powell enters the mix as a potential RB to start over Abdullah or Woodhead. I guess this is what I get for taking Gronk in 2nd round . . . I knew RBs were going to be mix and match but it's still annoying as hell.

I will take that "shoot out tonight" bet, I am thinking Eagles 32 Skins 28

 

I am going with it. I decided to roll 3, maybe even all 4 players tonight. Because my youngest son has 1 (hopefully 2) hockey games Sunday I will be out of football loop for most of Sunday. So I'll enjoy tonight (I hope). Redskins D has played well, but I am not sold on them. I think the Giants will have to throw it 30 times or more and with the incompetent Preston Parker gone, that's addition by subtraction right there. Also, my opponent has ODB so if he blows up, I'll have Eli going to balance it out some. I haven't yet decided if I want to start Randall. Jordan Reed and Garcon are locked in.

btw, i'm predicting an old-school, nfc east defensive blood bath to the tune of 17-10 final score...as with any nfc battle, the winner could go either way, but i have to think the G-men have the edge based upon home field advantage, and the fact the redskins have sucked in primetime for as long as i can remember...lol

I'm starting him in one league with AP and Jeremy Hill over Abdullah and Gordon, and he's riding the bench in the other league with Le'veon Bell, JStewart, and Crowell starting. If it had come down to either/or, I would have played Hill over Jones though.
