Matt jones future starter?

Postby Lssd2012 » Thu Aug 20, 2015 6:13 pm

Jones has been beasting these last two weeks. If he keeps it up, it looks like he will be more than a COP back. With Morris being a free agent next year, how are you guys valuing Matt Jones right now?

I'd want him. Not sure about value. Early 2nd probably for me. I think he's got a shot, so I'd want to profit in order to move him.

I wasn't too impressed with his college tape or production, so i'm not going to let a few preseason games sway my opinion much. Maybe this puts him on the fast track to start next year if Morris leaves, but I have doubts he'll end up being the long-term starter there.

Early 2nd is about where he is going. He has had 2 fumbles tonight and Morris hasn't looked bad. So probably won't get a chance until late in the season unless Morris gets injured or begins to fumble again.

They also have been keeping Thompson involved. I know they thought high of him last year before he got injured. He is the main reason they let Helu walk. Could be a 3 headed monster

When was the last University of Florida player that wasn't a colossal bust?

One of the biggest sell-high players out there. He is not very good and not in a great situation. He is just hype imo.

Even Riley Cooper is an example of not a colossal bust. Louis Murphy too. Jordan Reed.

The only busts were Tebow and maybe Rex Grossman. Nobody else offensively has been drafted high enough to be considered a colossal bust.

Remember we're talking about fantasy football here not who managed to hold onto an NFL roster spot for a couple years or start some games.

Hope they managed to produce a couple NFL roster worthy players they won back to back titles..

Isn't Tebow a virgin? I don't think he can bust.

Late round picks can't bust because they're not expected to be stars in the first place.
