Just feels like the packers will use him more than you think he will I would take Josh Jacobs and miles Sanders all day long before Jones. Just doesnt seem to be what Pederson usually does though right? Like Jacobs I get for sure I get what you're saying about Dillon but geez what the heck did Jones do to make them think he should get less work? He had like 260 touches last year and that amount like the rest of his career. Should be running him into the ground before letting him walk in free agency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont love him much at all, especially since his ADP is at the end of round 3. Dont want him as my #2 RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be running him into the ground before letting him walk in free agency Youre right about the way the eagles rotate runners, but the same reasoning for dillon goes for them with sanders. they drafted him highly because they thought he could be a bellcow. he started slow but got better as the year went on. He is by far their best runner. Scott is good but he will handle a lot of 3rd down plays, I dont think most people expect him to be the goalline back like dillion should be. its not just about touches, its where those touches happen on the field. I agree with you about the fact they should run him into the ground before free agency. Even last year he split a lot of time with williams though. no one is saying jones is a bad player, just that there is a fair amount of risk associated with drafting him in the first. thats all. Im just explaining the other side of the argument like you asked in the thread title lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lukewarm as I like him at the bottom of the 3rd-4th round pile. Honestly everyone hates this grouping of RBs. I’m actively targeting them... play in a 2QB league ( remember that your RB/WRs get pushed down about a round or so due to the 2nd QB) going to go QB/TE or QB/QB then grab some combo of two of: Carson, Conner, Bell, Fournette, Gordon, Johnson, Taylor then a bunch of WRs (think Ridley, Woods, McLaurin, Chark or Seahawks WRs) Then circle around with Hunt as my RB3... in a 12 Team, I’d be looking at a starting lineup of hypothetically: QB:L Jackson (1) Flex QB: M. Stafford (8) RB: C Carson (3) RB: L Bell (4) WR:R Woods (5) WR: DJ Chark (6) TE: Kittle (2) Flex: K Hunt (7) I like that a lot...

Its just crazy how ridiculous of an idea it is to replace a runner like Jones who is still very good and hasn't been run into the ground like other RBs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body just can't hold up, guy Is always hurt when it matters down the playoff stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports are he's in great shape but what if his body is simply breaking down? at the moment, I'd probably pick Bell over DJ.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens, I do want two RBs after Round 3. I'd prefer option 1. The difference between Ekeler and the other RBs is huge to me. Kelce is better, obviously but its close enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor and DJ are too iffy for me, He was so incredibly inefficient with his touches last year that if he's healthy you'd think he'd be better plus their OL should be better too. I still dont love him but 3.2 ypc is miserable. Conner and DJ cant stay healthy. Bell is much more likely to be healthy and put up similar numbers too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 bell is back to his high school weight, showing he is making an effort to return to form. Jets offense should be better, and Bell should get the check downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB in the 1st, Kittle in the 2nd and one of those 3 RBs is certainly doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
