Cedric Benson of the Chicago Bears continues to hold out. This means that Thomas Jones is currently slated to be the starting running back when the season begins. Jones had a strong pre-season game on Monday night and played well last year when he was healthy.
He would be a good third running back to have on your bench when the season begins. If he has a favorable matchup, consider putting him in your fantasy football starting lineup for those weeks.
Here are 4 of the first 5 teams Jones would face:
Detroit Lions
Cincinnati Bengals
at Cleveland Browns
Minnesota Vikings
None of these teams have great defenses.
If Jones has the starting job at the beginning of the season, he will most likely put up nice numbers over the first several games. Moreover, you can probably get him as a late round pick in your draft.
