    Is James Jones Worth A Start If Jennings Doesn't Play?

    Is James Jones worth a start if Jennings doesn't play. This game should be high scoring, and if Jennings doesn't play then Jones would start opposite of Jordy Nelson.

    I have Maclin, who sounds like he may not play Sunday. Thinking of picking up Jones and playing him. My other options on my bench are Blackmon and Boldin. Not crazy about either of them this week.

    Yes, James Jones or Randall Cobb would be decent plays without Jennings in the lineup tonight.

    I'm in a real pickle here. Not sure if Maclin will play, and I think I'd rather have James Jones than my other options which are Blackmon and Boldin. Anyone got any advice for me?

    me personally, i like boldin over all of them...yes j jones has potential but he is one of the most maddening WRs to own in fantasy, its either 0 points or 15 with him, he never seems to have solid weeks but very inconsistent...if you really dont like boldin, go jones or cobb, but id say boldin

    Maclin didn't practice today but Andy Reid said he's doing a lot better and he expects him to play on Sunday.

    10 Team Non PPR, QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, FLEX, TE, K, DST

    QB: Peyton
    RB: McFadden
    RB: DeMarco Murray
    WR: Brandon Marshall
    WR: Maclin
    FLEX: Alfred Morris
    TE: Gates
    K: Crosby
    DST: Benagls

    BNCH:
    Boldin
    Blackmon
    Benson
    Felix Jones (handcuff)
    Fred Jackson (injured)
    Schaub

    My team looked like a real championship contendor until I lost Fred Jackson. Hoping Spiller doesn't look too good so FJax can resume as the primary RB when he comes back. As much as losing Jackson sucks, I did pick up Morris Saturday night the day before he went off for two TD's.....just on a hunch. I think I'm just going to hold off and not pick up James Jones. Sounds like Maclin will play.

    Too late, can't do it now

    I drank too much booze last night, and forgot to check that shit out-dammit!

    I put the f-word in where it says penetrate
    I find it hilarious that SBR's editing has the f bomb go to penetrate

    Speedy you think Felix Jones is worth stashing at all? I see you have him as a hand-cuff, but even then, he'll probably just lose the job to a third-stringer.

    I would go with cobb personally, especially if you get points for returns td in your league.

    ah refresh, i wish i saw your post last night. too bad you went with jones, honestly between white/green/thomas you have 3 must starts every week, i wouldnt sit any of those guys for WRs.

    speedy, that sucks i feel your pain. i have jackson as my RB2 and was so pumped, loved my team. i did trade for benson last week and started him last night so i will take the 11 points, but definitely hurts to have jackson down. i got spiller in another league too haha but my main league i really want jackson to come back and help out down the stretch

    I like playing 3 RB
    Rice/Forte/Donald Brown
    but damn I messed up with Jones last night
    Luckily my opponent has rogers who only got 12 pts so its not too big of a deal I can still win

    Jones should have had a td catch for you. Dude can not hold on to the ball.
