Don't play Kevin Jones yet
The long-running Tatum Bell vs. Kevin Jones debate takes an important step this week, with Jones expected to return to the field.
It's tempting to use Jones right away, but he's not expected to start the game. Early estimates say Jones will play 15-20 snaps, which means 5-10 touches. He could be worth using in fantasy leagues starting next week if all goes well.
Jones' main influence this week is to keep Tatum Bell owners from hurting themselves again. Bell needs Jones to get hurt again to be worth his high ADP this season. Bell put up 132 total yards and a score in two starts.

Do you think he'll be back to 2006 form by week 4?
He was almost a top ten back in PPR leagues last year.

My FFB career has been inexplicably tied to KJ. A couple years back, he was the 2nd RB I took. He then got hurt.
The next year, he was my backup or flex player. He got hurt.
The next year, I traded for him. He got hurt.
This year, I grabbed him off of waivers in a shallow league (he was drafted by others in all other leagues). He'll probably get hurt the first time he touches the ball when/if he's in my starting lineup.
anyone else with a KJ sob story?
