Aaron Jones, Phillip Lindsay

So both Jones and Lindsay are $14 each next year in my $200 1/2 PPR keeper league, and the same owner has them both. RB is not a position I absolutely need to pursue, with Cook, Chubb, Michel, and Guice for a combined $60 already on my roster, but I've posted elsewhere about how I have 13-14 potential keepers and only 10 spots to use for protections, so I was kicking around a 3-for-1 kind of deal to ultimately improve who I do keep. Who do you like better for the next 2-3 years, and why?

Maybe package up and go for something bigger then Jones or Lindsey.

Of the two, I'd take Jones pretty easily.

Yeah, my attempts at Juju Smith-Schuster ($11) and Tyreek Hill ($20) have fallen flat, and the owner of Kamara ($15) and ODB ($29) hardly ever deals. I'm more thinking about getting something better than what I have, and maybe then continue to upgrade. On another thread I posted my trade targets. Feel free to offer a thought about going bigger!

As a Jones owner, that is nice to hear. But, a bit surprising as well. Do you see a large fall off in production from Lindsay next year? It will be interesting to see what happens to both under coaching changes.

I'll admit that I'm not convinced that Jones can be a 20-touch / game player for 14+ games. Not sure his body is built to handle that. But, I am convinced that he's an electric player when he does play.

I'll also admit that I was waaaaaay late to the Lindsay bandwagon. And he rocked it.

Still, if you make me bet, I think that a productive Jones over the years (even in the games he plays) is far more likely than Linsday as a multi-year bell-cow RB. I'm highly suspect that Linsday's usage and production are sustainable.
