Kevin Jones: Hold your horses naysayers!
Just the other day there were widespread reports that Kevin Jones was going to start the season on the PUP list (where he has resided all preseason). I explained to you why I thought that meant T.J. Duckett was an intriguing late round sleeper while Tatum Bell really wasn’t a compelling value given his ADP.
But no sooner did we resign ourselves to Jones’ being out for a significant period of time did today’s news come that the Lions have REMOVED KJ from the PUP list.
According to the Detroit Free Press, “Jones will begin practicing immediately” and will be evaluated week-to-week. Neither Jones nor HC Rod Marinelli have ruled out his playing in Week One.
What this means for fantasy owners:
- Tatum Bell goes from being, at best, fairly value in the 4th/5th round (his current ADP) to being a very risky proposition
- Kevin Jones is now absolutely worth rostering late in your draft; let’s hope other people in your league aren’t paying as close attention
- T.J. Duckett remains a deep, deep sleeper because of his short-yardage ability
