Skrappy1 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Ok guys, I need some outside assistance and probably some sense talked into me here. I see that Julius Jones was upgraded yesterday from out to doubful...nothing to get excited about quite yet, but he may play tommorrow and I think he will definitely play Thanksgiving. I think once he comes back he will be worked into the offense and will definitely get a chance to be the main RB in Dallas by the end of the season. If I'm going to grab him, it must be now but here's the situation... I don't need another RB. Our trade deadline passes this week, so I won't be able to use him as trade-bait at all. There would just about never be a conceivable situation where I'd start him. I'd mainly just be doing it to block anyone else from getting him, which has some serious appeal. The problem is that I'd need to cut someone, most likely Anthony Thomas, in order to pick him up. I don't need Thomas either...If I drop him today, no one could pick him up until next week anyhow, and after this week his role in the offense will probably become almost non-existent again. As a mostly block move, who is better to have do you think - Julius Jones or Anthony Thomas? Like I stated, I don't really need either, but for some reason I just really want to pick up Jones. My current RBs are below (start 2): Tomlinson/Chatman Droughns/Bell Thomas Jones/Anthony Thomas Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Personally I'd drop Bell to grab JJ. Bell has done nothing, Droughns looks REAL good, and Bell is ALWAYS hurting. JJ could play a nice role either by Thanksgiving or the week after. Check out my WDIS post please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my WDIS post please 566236[/snapback] I thought about that for sure, but my thinking between Bell and Thomas is that if something where to happen to Droughns, Bell could conceivably be a stud in that offense with that line. Thomas can be serviceable, but no one will ever confuse him with a stud...my decision would be based solely on which would be more productive if forced into a starting situation.

Hearst might get the ball then who knows, but TJ is hurting now and Droughns is fine. I'd drop Bell, but of course it's a risk. There always is a risk in FF.

It cost me a title). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) I grabbed J. Jones off the wire Wed. Just because. I'm in a keeper league, I had a spot for him (Backup TE I used for Gates last week). And I picked him up just in case he shows me something. It isn't going to cost me anything but a roster spot that I really wasn't going to use again anyways. Grab him.
