megatron's mom 6 Posted September 15, 2015 Jones. Gonna be the top option all year in GB. Moncrief will take a back seat when TY returns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candygram4Mongo 8 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm facing the same choice. I lost my 2nd round pick in JNelson, so I'm interested in both. Both are in elite offenses with top 3 qbs, with emphasis on passing, so there's little separation there. Jones is more of the season long option, like megatron said above. Yesterday, he got the red zone looks, and the TDs. He's the wise old man on the wr corps now, with Rodgers' trust. Montcrief got 11 targets though. I'll lean toward JJones, but it is kind of a toss-up. I'm putting in claims on each, hoping I nab one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted September 15, 2015 I think theres a chance AJ is washed up and moncreif could become the 2nd option in that offense even when Hilton is back. he's my top target. jones would be a fine consolation though, just more inconsistent.

PATSSOX 22 Posted September 15, 2015 Anyone grabbing Steve Johnson over Jones or Moncrief? He was a stud back with Buffalo and is only 29 and the #2 WR in San Diego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Einstein's Dog 20 Posted September 15, 2015 It's all about targets and opportunities. Well it's also about need. If you need/want a couple of week fill-in for Hilton, Moncrief is attractive. But if you are looking for a season long contributor Jones is your man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 16, 2015 Well it's also about need. If you need/want a couple of week fill-in for Hilton, Moncrief is attractive. But if you are looking for a season long contributor Jones is your man. I'm afraid this is where i've settled, Hilton could be back in a week or two. I do think Moncrief can have season long value, but Rodgers and JJ can rip off 2-3 TD games like they did Sunday at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted September 16, 2015 Anyone grabbing Steve Johnson over Jones or Moncrief? He was a stud back with Buffalo and is only 29 and the #2 WR in San Diego. I grabbed Stevie over both Jones & Moncrief.I think Jones will be too up/down (Adams still targeted 8 times & think he'll continue to get that many looks going forward). Everything I've read is TY is day to day & most likely will sit 1 wk, maybe 2 & when he comes back, Moncrief will go back to #3. Stevie took over for Royal (who had 62-778-7 last yr in SD) & will continue to put up respectable #s (especially in ppr). I don't think Stevie's #s will be that far off from Royal's #s last yr. He had 1 TD & darn near 2. I think he's the safest choice but not necessarily the flashiest. I'd rather have a guy I can count on for roughly 6-60 (with occasional TD) than a guy that will be too inconsistent (Jones) or be replaced within 2 wks (Moncrief).

graphix28 10 Posted September 16, 2015 Luck looked for moncrief a lot Sunday. AJ looks really slow, hoping moncrief takes over soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted September 16, 2015 jones had 4 targets sunday and just so happened 2 here td's give me the targets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted September 16, 2015 Fwiw moncreif had only two of his targets after Hilton left late 3rd (both end zone, one he caught). you could almost argue having Hilton in there was better for his production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpenceToons 70 Posted September 16, 2015 you could almost argue having Hilton in there was better for his production. That was certainly the case in Moncrief's explosion game last year in week 8 vs PIT. I'd see a 20 yard pass play and an Indy receiver taken to the ground and I'd be saying, "All right who was it this time, number 13 or number 10 ?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DontPushMe 5 Posted September 16, 2015 I wanted James Jones but ended up with moncrief. I think James Jones is a solid 6-12 pts a week whereas moncrief will be all over the place. Some big weeks and some duds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prisoners 2 Posted September 16, 2015 Because of an unusually early draft this year (people had out of town issues) I had Kelvin Benjamin and Jordy Nelson on my team. I also drafted Edelmann and Stevie Johnson so I survived week 1. I put in bids for both Moncrief and Jones this week, got Jones. Terrance Williams and Devonte Adams were both drafted in my 12 team league and I feel lucky to get Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loonecho 19 Posted September 16, 2015 Rogers didn't have a full off-season with Jones because of the late signing. Four targets in week one might have just been "testing the waters" to see if the old chemistry still exists. With the confidence gained by that first game, I expect the targets to Jones to go up as the season progresses. Both quarterbacks are elite, but given the choice, I'll take the receiver catching balls from the elite QB with the most experience. I'll take Jones over Moncrief.

American Chewy 98 Posted September 18, 2015 excellent job derailing the thread. Jones went for $20 in my league and Moncrief $25 to me. I overpaid for him but as a Bryant/Maclin owner i needed another WR in the worst way (I do have landry at least). .5ppr scoring so i do value targets/catches and i believe Moncrief with his size will get a good amount of RZ looks to compete with Jones for TDs in what should also be a high volume pass offense.
