Dude had nineteen touchdowns last season, and the word on the street is that the team is looking to lock him up. Rest easy. You got yourself a solid player.

Even with limited touches Jones can and will put up big numbers. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomei7 591 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Dude is gonna continue his tear this year. He was the 2nd best RB last year, only CMac was better obviously. Jones has a lot to do with the Packers being only 1 game away from the SuperBowl. He is definitely in the future plans for GB and a deal will get done any day now. He will easily be a Top #7 back if not better, even if there is regression on his TDs. Can’t believe people continue to sleep on this guy. AJ Dillon is a non threat and Williams is the cuff. Fire Jones up with great confidence in 2020. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,327 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Suddenly lots of love in here. You mean we shouldn't be shying away because his team used a mid round pick (last pick of the second round) on a depth/insurance RB. I thought that was supposed to be the end of the world for Jones owners. Also, aren't we supposed to be terrified that Jones scored TOO many TDs last year. You never want a guy who scores too many TDs, that's bad... for some reason. 2 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nmartinez12443 558 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 His catches/performances benefitted from adams/williams being out. Adams is back. He is touch down dependent and they got aj dillion. He isnt a bellcow but your drafting him like one. He splits ALOT/snaps/starts/carries with Williams, now they also have dillon. They are going to throw more based on GB history/schedule will force it. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If this is an attempt to parody the God-awful narratives that have surrounded Jones all offseason, then outstanding job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
young dude 534 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This guy is by far the most polarizing RB among top options IMO. Somewhat consciously, I ended up with zero shares of him in 6 money leagues, but he was consistently drafted by mid second (or similarly priced in auctions). I just don't have a clear idea of how LaFleuer and/or Rodgers will operate this year. That's my main reason in avoiding him a bit. And I had Jones in a league last year so I know the upsides too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. And it’s Lafleur. Run based system with opportunistic play action off of it. Jones is set up for a wildly successful season and a new contract 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore1521 1,451 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 ah the winds of change in this thread, such a diff tone now hah appreciate all the skepticism letting me snag Jones cheap in both my money leagues though about to sign an extension, nose for the end zone, good receiving back, good QB, Run based Head Coach choo.........................choo 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jpark211 275 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I avoided drafting him this year. I had him last year and it was a constant headache figuring out if he was gonna have a 20+ point game or post a 4-5 point dud.... he is too talented to leave off your starting lineup but he isn't going to provide you a stable weekly floor. Barring any injuries to AJ Dillon or Jamal Wiliiams, I suspect Jones' average snap count will decrease from last year and therefore less opportunities to produce as he did last year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ValyrianSteelers 43 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Also Jamaal Williams isn't going away: And in video form... Rodgers talks nearly 2 min about Williams and also said that Dillon will need some time, before he's getting some opportunities: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nmartinez12443 558 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 His catches/performances benefited from Williams/Adam being out. Adams is back. Yards From Scrimmage per game for Jones- 39,150,23, 58 (Williams Out), 183 (Adams/Williams Out), 60 (Adams Out), 83 (Adams Out), 226 (Adams Out), 31, 93, 38, 31, 192, 51, 160 Notice some of his biggest games week 5 (adams and williams were out) and week 8 adams was out. He is touch down dependent and they got AJ Dillon He only had above 100 total yards from scrimmage in 5 games and he had a lot of dud weeks and is inconsistent. Now they have an ideal goal line back in Dillon who will have a role. He isnt a bellcow but your drafting him like one.He splits ALOT/snaps/starts/carries with Williams, now they also have dillon. Snaps/Touches per game. Jones and Williams 1. J-59%-14 W-41%-7 2. J-58%-27 W-47%-12 3. J-39%-11 W-61%-14 4. J-84%-19 W- 1%-1 Injured on first carry 5. J-68%-26 W- Injured 6. J-49%-15 W- 53%-18 7. J-57%-16 W-40%-7 8. J-64%-20 W-46%-10 9. J-59%-9 W-44%-8 10.J-50%-13 W-50%-13 12.J-51%-13 W-49%-18 13.J-58%-15 W-42%-14 14. J-58%-22 W-42%-7 15. J-59%-15 W-41%-9 16. J-68%-25 W-27%-8 Williams out-touched/matched him in touches in 4 games and was off by one in 6. In the games that they both played the touches were Jones: 215 Williams: 145 excluding weeks 4/5. So basically 60/40 split and now they have a highly drafted rookie bruiser who will probably be used around the goal line. I could see 50-35-15 They are going to throw more based on GB history/schedule will force it. Looking at their schedule they have: Lions, Saints, Falcons, Bucs, Texans, 49ers, Eagles, Lions, Panthers. IMO they are going to have to throw to keep up in 9/16 games and this could mean abandoning the run. Plus Green Bay is traditionally top 10 in passing attempts. 2019- #2, 2018-#8, 2017-Rodgers injury 2016- #1 2015- #3 2014- #12 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edgeraid 217 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Drafted him with the 14th pick in my 0.5 PPR 12 team and also paid $36 in a 12 team, 1 PPR auction league. I don't think his question marks are any worse than those of the other backs going around him and the guy was an absolute stud last year. I think the AJ Dillon hype is completely overblown and the Packers were at their best when leaning on him last year. He's also got a nose for the end zone so the belief that he'll cede all that work to Dillon is based on nothing besides Dillon's size.
