Jeremy Maclin or James Jones

[Speedy88]

Need to choose between one of these two guys.

Jeremy Maclin vs ATL
James Jones vs JAC

Kind of leaning James Jones here because of the matchup and he plays in a much better offense. Reports from rotoworld are saying that Jennings will likely be out through their week 10 bye.

[GamblerSpirit]

I personally would roll with maclin. Im starting cobb though

just a quick reminder of what jmac did vs atl last yr in atl...

Im an Eagles fan and Id go with James Jones. Eagles offense is just so anemic that I really wouldnt want to start any of their players. Seeing this being like a 20-14 , 20-17 game. Nothing too flashy

[darrell74]

Maclin if you bonus for longer touchdowns

[me-first]

i'd go with maclin over j jones..

[convick]

Maclin looks to be back in his groove. Id go him in a PPR league. Jones gets most of his points through TDs. Guy didnt get any last week (after 3 weeks of 2 TDs per game). Maclin is usually good for 7-8 catches while Jones might get 3-4.

[dudekid]

the only way id go maclin i think is if it's ppr...maclin has been decent but his hip is bugging him...jax has a terrible secondary, and rodgers likes to throw to jones esp. in the red zone...you probably wont go wrong with either play but i think jones has more upside while maclin has a higher floor

[Speedy88]

Now it looks like Jordy Nelson will be a game time decision. If Jordy is out, I almost have to go with James Jones.

[dudekid]

absolutely, especially if jordy is out...but even with jordy and cobb, jones has been very productive...last week he was inches away from scoring on a couple different plays...i would roll with him

[jwater]

Supposed to be really sloppy weather conditions Sunday in philly too. Id go with James Jones

[Gators3]

As another poster stated, Maclin had a huge game against Atlanta last year. Maclin is a lot better than Jones in reality. Gotta play your studs.

[Mikail]

biased but I say Maclin. GL

[dlunc3]

im not sure how you could even consider sittin maclin considering his history vs this team

[koz-man]

I would not bench Maclin

[Speedy88]

Man, just looked at last weeks box score of GB-STL. Just noticed that James Jones led the Pack in targets with 10. I know JMac has owned Atlanta, but their secondary is actually pretty good. And ARod > Vick.

If Jordy is out, I almost have to go with Jones. If Jordy plays, I'll have a tough decision to make. Still leaning Jones.

[dudekid]

just curious speedy, who are your other receivers? im wondering if you could start both maclin and jones...the more i look at it, the more i like maclins matchup (he should be mostly facing dunta robinson who is bad, he burned him for 13 catches, 171 yards and 2 tds last year) but also, jones has a great matchup in the aging 32 year old rashean mathis, who cant cover anyone this year, and he could do a lot of damage against that awful jags secondary...what are your other options? do you have a flex?

[jwater]

Im the only voice for Jones. Go with Jones haha.

Reasons not to go with Maclin:
1.) Vick not that good
2.) Falcons have a good secondary
3.) It will be raining all game long

Jones is GB's go to biggest receiver with Jennings out. Ride Jones

[dudekid]

jwater, in my original post earlier in this thread i also said jones, if i have to pick one i definitely say james jones...i just think the matchup with maclin, coming off a bye, does present something here...just curious on his other options and if they are that much better

My other WR is Brandon Marshall, who I'm not benching. The only way I could start both Maclin and Jones alongside Marshall is if I remove Rashad Jennings from my flex, but I kind of like Rashad Jennings this week.

Yeah I noticed the weather report in Phili. Says rainy and windy. Which makes me lean even more towards Jones. Everything I'm hearing is that Jordy will most likely be out. The Pack know they can win this game without Jordy anyways. Probably going to opt for another kicker since I have Matt Bryant. Rain + wind + kicking usually doesn't mix well.

[Shortstop]

I'd go with James Jones if it were up to me. Good Luck!

[dlunc3]

if jordy is out, i guess you have no choice but to go with jones

[onlooker]

James Jones. With how banged up the Packers are.

[Speedy88]

Yeah going to go with James Jones here. Suppose to be rainy and windy in Phili, which usually doesn't bode well for WR's.

[LT Profits]

Another reason to go with Jones is Philly figures to run a lot with McCoy vs. a team giving up 5.0 yards per carry.

[samgurt]

Jones.

cold, rainy, and windy in Philly tomorrow

I hope not, my opponent has McCoy.

[samgurt]

I'd keep rolling with jones until nelson is back

I'd imagine Jordy won't be out too long. Looks like I'll have this same decision for week 9. JMac has a nice matchup against New Orleans on MNF, while Jones plays at home against Arizona.

But before I even start to think about that, I need to figure out the whole Vick situation in Phili, and whether Jordy will be back.
