Is Felix Jones fool's gold?

He was the waiver wire flavor of the week, and I picked him up as a defensive move, but is he worth the start? DeMarco Murray's numbers weren't all that impressive before he went down. Is Carolina's defense going to do him any favors?

Yes

Carolina's D is giving up a lot of fantasy points to opposing RB's.

Since he is a one game fill in, he may be ok.
I had him last year. It's possible that he makes it through a whole game without hurting his pussy. But it's also possible he plays 2-4 series and then hurts it. Seriously, the dude is really a giant fricking pussy.

Always has. Always will. I took a flyer on the backup to Jones.

carolina has a pretty generous run d. i will start him this week and this week only.

He averages 5 ypc over his career.
Has never been under 4 ypc any season.
Can catch passes out of the backfield.
Has homerun speed.
Start him this week. This board is clueless.

He'll be a good play while Murray is out, but will likely go back to obscurity when Demarco comes back. A guy in one of my leagues spent over 1/3 of his entire FA budget for the full season on Felix, which seems a little silly IMHO.

RBs are at a premium this year more than ever. Murray is an injury prone vagina. There is a reason people have stashed Jones all season (Jones is also an injury/fumble prone pussy fwiw). No telling when Murray comes back or if he gets hurt again. Foot injuries are tricky (ie Bradshaw last season).
Jones is a must start this week. Carolina is 31st vs fantasy RBs

Has been given numerous chances at a starting job, never good enough to take it. Will always let you down.
Fixed it.

He's a borderline must start this week IMO.
However, if he fricks you, don't be surprised...

So I am not crazy for wanting to start him over Lynch, who is playing SF?

Tanner

Wait, so can we safely say that the cowboys are a bunch of pussies with the two backs and tony homo, except for mo of course. That was productive, good talk

This is his 5th year in the NFL.
2008-2010 - played behind Marion Barber
Barber was a former Pro Bowler and had signed a $45 mil contract with Dallas.
Jones still had 9 ypc his rookie year, 6 ypc the next (led league) and 4.3 the next. Averaged 20 receptions a year.
2011- Injury plagued year, still averaged 4.5 and had 33 catches. Murray obviously stole the job when he went down.
2012- Here we are.
Let's see what happens

I'm starting him over Tashard Choice.
He's about to become the HNIC in Dal

Felix Jones or Phillip Tanner this week?

If you have a choice, roll with Felix. I picked up Tanner on FA because I don't think Felix can last in the starting role. So if Murray is out longer than expected, I'm hoping Tanner takes the lead role, or at least the goal line carries.
