Pacman Jones Reinstated – Fantasy Impact

admin — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:02:45 +0000

Pacman Jones, who now insists on the name Adam Jones, has been reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Jones had been suspended from the NFL for numerous run-ins with the law.

In terms of fantasy football, Jones makes the Dallas Cowboys defense much more dangerous. He’s a big play threat that can intercept a pass and score a touchdown at any given moment. He should help make Dallas a top five defense in the 2008 fantasy football season.

Jones is also very valuable as a kick returner. If you get kick returner points for yardage or touchdowns, Jones being reinstated is very good news. Outside of Devin Hester, few players are in Jones’ class of raw speed and ability.

Expect Pacman Jones (or Adam Jones) to make more and more of an impact in fantasy football as the season progresses. The only thing that could hold him back is if he gets in trouble with the law again.

Pacman Jones No More – Meet Adam Jones

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 03:17:04 +0000

Pacman Jones no longer wants to be known as Pacman Jones. Instead, the Dallas Cowboys defensive back wants to go by his birth name of Adam Jones.

Since being partially reinstated by Roger Goodell, Jones has been on his best behavior. In an effort to rehabilitate his image, Jones is now dropping his nickname. His Dallas teammates have been impressed by his play and his dedication to the team during the Cowboys recent practices.

Jones will need to continue to be on his best behavior to get fully reinstated for the 2008 season. Since being drafted, Jones has been arrested six times and there were six other incidents that required police intervention.

However, since the Tennessee Titans traded him to the Cowboys, Jones hasn’t seen his name in the police blotter. Adam Jones hopes that remains the case.

Felix Jones 2008 Fantasy Projections – Dallas Cowboys

admin — Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:45 +0000

The worst kept secret of the 2008 NFL draft was the fact that the Dallas Cowboys were interested in Felix Jones. That interest became reality when Dallas selected Jones with the 22nd pick of the first round.

Jones will be able to be a difference maker right away for the Cowboys. With Julius Jones now with the Seattle Seahawks, Felix Jones will be able to get carries. However, it’s important to note that Marion Barber III will likely be the running back who gets the most carries for the Cowboys in 2008.

Barber is an up-and-coming running back who has great strength, toughness and a nose for the end zone. Jones, on the other hand, brings different qualities to the table. First of all, he has world class speed and quickness. Even though he’s a bit small, he has shown an ability to break tackles.

In fantasy football drafts in 2008, it’ll be difficult to gauge Jones’ value. On one hand, he’ll be playing in a high-powered offense and he has big play ability. On the other hand, he’ll be a backup who likely won’t get many goal line carries. Overall, you have to primarily think of Barber and Jones as a package deal. If you want to take Jones without Barber, you should start thinking about Jones in about the ninth or tenth round.
