Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~50

CURRENT ADP: 57.7

ANALYSIS: Matt Jones is bigger than the average NFL running back, listed at 6’1” and 231 lbs with above-average strength and a muscular frame. He accumulated nearly 800 yards from scrimmage last season as Alfred Morris’ backup, including 490 on the ground. A talented receiving back, he averaged 16 yards per reception, highlighted by his 78-yard scamper in Week 10 against the Saints. He is also an excellent pass blocker, which should help keep him on the field for all three downs.

Jones struggled with fumbles and awareness during his rookie season, but he has been working with the Redskins’ coaching staff to fix these issues. His competition consists of Chris Thompson, Mack Brown and seventh-round pick Keith Marshall, but none of them pose much of an immediate threat.

Jones is currently being drafted around Ryan Mathews, Jeremy Langford and Melvin Gordon in standard scoring leagues, but has the chance to break out and out-perform all three of them.
