BALLER MOVE: Target in Very Late Rounds
Current ADP: 234 STD, 172 PPR
ANALYSIS: Matt Jones should be the immediate 3rd down back for the Redskins, given Alfred Morris' passing game issues-- he currently averages 12 receptions a year. Jones could potentially take on even more of a role, as many reports have him impressing during the non-contact portion of OTAs.
Jones is the only running back on the roster that the entire coaching and management staff has connection to. First year Redskins GM Scot McCloughan compared Jones to Marshawn Lynch during OTAs in June. With how bad the Redskins' defense looks entering this season, and how weak their offense is likely going to be, there’s a lot of opportunity for Jones to see the field as the Redskins fall behind often early on in the season. Those early games might be the precursor to a huge breakout from the rookie.
