Timmypg Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 According to the Friday Player Practice / Status Report - Week 16 DETROIT RB T.J. Duckett - Limited Wednesday and Thursday but practiced fully Friday. Expected to start. Why is Duckett starting? Should I bench Jones in my 3rd place game this week? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 haven't heard a thing about Jones being injured/out. Per KFFL, Duckett practiced and will play, but it made no special mention of him starting...it also had no notes on Jones whatsoever, which would be very unusual if he was backing-up Duckett, or out: Lions | Duckett expected to play Week 16 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:14:21 -0800 Detroit Lions RB T.J. Duckett (illness) participated in practice Friday, Dec. 21. He is expected to play Week 16. I'd check the AM updates, but you should be good to roll with Jones against the #26 rush defense of the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmypg Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks! That's what I thought too. RB T.J. Duckett - Limited Wednesday and Thursday but practiced fully Friday. Expected to start. Just scared the crap out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Just scared the crap out of me. Wait you are a Jones owner who's magically still alive in the playoffs and THAT scared you? Rod Marinelli thinking Jones having as many carries as Kitna has interceptions scares me more... Seriously, he could be anywhere from 10 yards to 110 and 2 TDs this week.

Grits and Shins Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I know I would hate to have my super bowl aspirations resting on KJ this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You must be really impressed....jagoff ..... Jones was a knife in the back last week to anyone who started him after turning in 90 yards and two scores against Dallas. Evidently if someone cares enough to post, he's an important part of their roster this week. And people who try to make witty comments that fall flat and don't add anything to discussions are what I would call the textbook definition of a "jagoff." So go take a good look in the mirror, pal. Sorry for the double post before, all, I entered it via a blackberry while sitting in a mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yep. His WHOLE team revolves around Kevin Jones... I think he took him #1 also!!! You must be really impressed....jagoff ..... With wind chills of 0 in Chicago and 40 MPH winds I'm considering it as a flex over Jennings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Not sure where all the hate for KJ is coming from...other than what has happened to him in the last couple away games, which has happened to elite RBs when their team falls way behind, he has been rock-solid. I don't see the Chiefs rolling over the Lions in Detorit, and I think KJ is a part of the gameplan for 60 minutes...especially if the Lions have a 4th-quarter lead. And against the #26 rush defense of the Chiefs? While I'd hate to have to RELY on him to win me a championship, he's a nice #2 or #3 RB this week in a great match-up. I am starting him in my flex spot over Boldin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Not sure where all the hate for KJ is coming from... Might have something to do with that hot/cold routine he's been pulling almost the entire time he's been back. Great/sucks, great/sucks, great/sucks.....he makes the weather look reliable.

Timmypg Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have KJ in 2 leagues. 1 is a standard scoring league and I benched KJ last week for Gore (I lost anyway and I'm in the 3rd place game today). The other league is a TD only league and Parker was my only other option & he's sucked all year at getting TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
