Mike FF Today 609 Posted March 17, 2014 Radiers get former Packers wideout. The Raiders added a productive veteran to their wide receiving corps Monday with the addition of James Jones, who caught 59 passes for 817 yards last season for the Green Bay Packers. No real improvement for Jones' fantasy value given the offense and QB situation in Oakland. He should crack the starting lineup though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boilermaker04 11 Posted March 18, 2014 Bad for Jones, even worse for CAR. Could end up being a wasteland next season at the rate they're regressing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted March 18, 2014 James jones is not draft worthy with the raiders imo. Borderline draft worthy with GB. I'd rather take a flyer with a youngster than go with a 30 y.o. WR5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roroco 75 Posted March 18, 2014 And this is the last thread we see with James Jones. RIP James Jones Fantasy Value.... BTW, I am a huge fan of his, but moving from GB to OAK is going to be a system shock for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 84 29 Posted March 18, 2014 Raiders love getting 30+ year olds in free agency. Starting to build that dynasty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 719 Posted March 18, 2014 Borderline draft worthy with GB. I'd rather take a flyer with a youngster than go with a 30 y.o. WR5. Borderline? Not so much...especially knowing Cobb or Nelson have missed time. Jones has some nice numbers the past 2 years. He was easily draftable in 12 team leagues and also 10 teamers that player 3 WRs.

Cobb and Nelson miss time and still Jones puts borderline WR4 numbers year in and out (except for 1 TD season aberration). If he is anything but a bye week filler on your team, then you have a serious problem at WR. You can do just as well on the WW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,567 Posted March 24, 2014 For all the holes the Raiders have, WR isn't one of them. Moore, Holmes, and Streeter are already a fine group. Adding Jones seems a luxury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 24, 2014 Stone Hands + Black Hole = Fantasy Wasteland Here is what I don't get. Last year with GB, he had 3 drops in 93 targets. There were 30 players who had 7 or more drops during the season. Jones did a lot of work to cut down on his drops, but folks still think that he is the drop monster that he was the prior 2 years.

Jones did a lot of work to cut down on his drops, but folks still think that he is the drop monster that he was the prior 2 years. Good point. He has improved on his craft the past couple years but after watching a bunch of Packers games in the past 5 years, I've got images of Jones & Finley dropping passes on the regular in the past. He won't have Rodgers throwing him pin point accurate passes so the drops may increase with whomever the Raiders trot out there in 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
