Taiwan Jones break-out year? SLEEPER ALERT

darrell74 · 09-02-12, 09:49 PM

I got him in my 16 team idp league (320 players there)

Undrafted in my 10 and 12 team leagues

Definitely a sleeper
After Monday night, he just might be the most added player on the major sites

I took a flyer on him too, in one of my deep leagues.

darrell74 · 09-02-12, 10:30 PM

I got him in the 18th round, 285th overall
I already got 4 running backs before that, so I'm happy with that

If you've seen what's available at 284ish, it wasn't a bad pick in my mind
I just had to let Steve Gregory slip through my fingers to #286,
broke my heart just to do that-j/k

Not "breakout year" but he is the #2 back. Only draftable in last round if you have McFadden. If you don't have Run DMC, there are better backups out there than Jones.

I am being hyperbolic with his sleeper potential, but I do think he's worth holding onto. He's probably available in most leagues. DMC will get hurt.

LT, who do you think are the best backups to stash?

That late in the draft, Kendall Hunter and Ryan Williams come to mind.

Is he the backup? I thought they had some other running back behind DMC. Thanks for sharing.

Taiwan was great in preseason, he totally outplayed Goodson, Jones is listed second and Goodson third on the depth charts I have seen.

He has been on my watch list for a couple weeks now.

i doubt he can carry the load even if dmac goes down.

Boys, the last time I had a feeling about a sleeper like this was the year Willie Parker broke out.

Picked him up when he was 3rd stringer because I read an article about how when he was a little kid, his neighborhood would have him race against pitbulls
