JETS RBs... Please Help!!

Postby mgold7 » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:17 pm

So I drafted Thomas Jones as my flex RB, and back when I drafted it was rumored that Shonn Greene could possibly take over for Jones in the middle of the season, so he was an important handcuff. So, being a smart fantasy owner, I made sure to draft Greene.
Thomas Jones has been having a horrific preseason, while Leon Washington has been a complete beast... Meanwhile, Greene is injured... Is it likely that the Jets will utilize Washington in a Brian Westbrook fasion? Do I have anything to worry about? Is Washington Thomas Jones' real handcuff? If so, should I trade Derrick Ward for Leon Washington, because I am willing to do so...

Thanks

Hmmmmmm....this is tricky because out of any Jet's RB's I would want L.Washington. He is going to be their go to guy especially since I feel T.Jones is done. S.Greene is a rookie also so even if he wasn't injured he wouldn't see much daylight this year.

I just don't know if I would trade Ward for Washington. I honestly would try and avoid the Jets situation all together (along with the TB situation as well) but I think Ward emerges as the #1 back in that rotation soon enough (after and injury to Caddy or Graham) and will be a solid #2 RB. I think Washington will remain a RB3 all season with possible RB2 potential if T.Jones leaves or get's injured for the season.

If you have your heart set on it though then go ahead but Washington is the one you want and not Greene!

Good Luck!
