Skins Beat: Mixed opinion if Matt Jones is 1,000-yard rusher

CSN Mid-Atlantic

There may be no Redskin who is under more pressure this year than second-year running back Matt Jones.

Last year, he shared carries with Alfred Morris and averaged just 3.4 yards per carry, the lowest average of any back who had enough attempts to qualify.

This year Morris is gone and the team is counting on Jones to carry the load. Morris rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons with the Redskins.

Fantasy Impact: 

Rich Tandler thinks Jones will hit the mark, adding that it only takes about 62 yards a game to accomplish. Tarik El-Bashir, meanwhile, doesn't believe Jones will hit the mark, noting the weapons the team has in the passing game may indicate the Skins throws more. Our opinion is Jones falls just short with 949 rushing yards. Jones is ranked 23rd on our RB list with an ADP of the fifth round. You may not think Jones is worth the value there when you see Frank Gore, who we project to have similar rushing stats but be a bigger factor in the passing game, is ranked 24th and can be had a couple of rounds later in the seventh round, according to ADPs.

Cowboys Beat: RB Ezekiel Elliott should see 'roughly 280-300 carries'

David Helman of DallasCowboys.com:

I don’t think it’s even a question that Ezekiel Elliott will be first string, and I’d say that even if Darren McFadden was 100 percent healthy. To your second point, I don’t think “concerned” is the word I’d use, but it’s definitely something I’d be mindful of. DeMarco Murray got 83 percent of the carries for this team in 2014, and he finished with more than 400 total touches. That’s a tad much for anyone, let alone a rookie. Fortunately, the Cowboys have vastly superior depth at the position this year. I think Zeke will finish with roughly 280-300 carries, which would put him right around 18-20 per game. That should leave plenty of carries for Alfred Morris and McFadden to get involved.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's doubtful that the Cowboys drafted Elliott #4 overall to let him sit behind McFadden and/or Morris as a rookie. As long as he doesn't fall on his face, he should be the workhorse, with McFadden and Morris sprinkling in as change-of-pace backs. McFadden’s offseason injury only serves to help Elliott’s chances of RB1 touches.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott 'has to earn' RB1 job

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott figures to have a prominent role right away, but he’s also entering a veteran running back room that includes free-agent signing Alfred Morris and returning starter Darren McFadden. If he’s going to be a featured back as a rookie, “Zeke has to earn it,” running backs coach Gary Brown said.

In other words, expect a healthy competition.

“I think that’s the best thing for our team and for those guys going forward,” Brown said.

That’s just fine with Elliott, who says competition “keeps you on your toes and make sure you’re getting that work done.”

Expect Washington RB Matt Jones to average '15-20 carries per game'

Besides the quarterback, the player on offense under the most pressure to perform this year will be Matt Jones. The team let Alfred Morris walk in free agency and they waited until the seventh round to draft his replacement. And at this point the often injured, lightly used Keith Marshall isn’t even a sure bet to make the team. Jones will need to stay healthy while averaging 15-20 carries per game, add about a yard to the 3.4 per carry average he posted last year, and make fumbles very rare occurrences.

Fantasy Impact: 

Jones had a few moments as a rookie, but they were mostly in the passing game, where he averaged 16.0 yards per catch on 19 receptions. As a runner, he averaged 3.4 YPC on 144 totes. It appears that he'll be the primary running back, though Chris Thompson led the Washington running backs with 35 receptions last season and may form a committee by taking over most of the third-down work.
