Start Jacoby Jones?

[Dans Dominators]

Our league gives us all yardage including returns. Even though he is a #3 WR, he has 415 yards in returns & a TD. Is he worth the upside of all the return points (1/10yards) I can get from him even though he has only 5 catches for 105 yards, but 2 TD's? I would be benching Berrian.

I would most definitely keep Berrian in. You won't be happy when Jones puts up 2 points.

1pts/10 return yds??? Assuming the standard 1/10 yds rush/receive and 6/TD, that's way overpowering for return points. I think you start him. With that scoring system he's put up this many pts per week:

 

wk1: 11

wk2: 16

wk3: 24

wk4: 21

 

That has to be near the top of the league in individual pts.

 

Let's take away his TDs since he's not going to get a TD most weeks:

 

wk1: 11

wk2: 10

wk3: 18

wk4: 15

 

That looks a lot better than I'd expect Berrian to put up regularly. I'd also see about getting Cribbs, Harvin, or maybe even Sproles in case LT has problem again.

[Dans Dominators]

That was exactly my thought. Once I looked at how many points he had, #2 WR behind Cribbs who is already taken, I had to jump on him. The risk/reward is high, but the potential is huge. I can't expect him to average this all season, but I'll ride him as long as he keeps producing!
