Will the new Jets offensive line make a difference for Jones?

Question

Thomas Jones ran for 1,119 yards on 310 carries with one TD. He added another 217 yards receiving with one more TD.

What's his 2008 stats going to look like? Where do you rank him in your fantasy football draft?

Answer 1

He's got a lot to prove before he gets in Top 10, but I do think he'll improve from last season, assuming Mangini uses him better than he did.

I'd stick him somewhere between 15 and 20 but no higher than that.  It's not just the lack of TD production, it's also guys like Leon Washington, who could be used as a goal-line vulture.

Answer 2

i am a huge jets fan and he will get atleast another 200 yards.  the jets will probably start pennington (because him and clemens are battling it out at minicamp and chad is better but evidently nobody sees this) and he should be more protected in the pocket.  jones SHOULD be ranked 7th out of the running backs.  our defense should get more sacks (and picks because the quarterback will be more under pressure).  i hoped this helped
