WR Matt Jones Working for a Second Chance

Jul 16, 2009

FA WR Matt Jones has sequestered himself in a two-bedroom villa at IMG Academies in Bradenton for the better part of the last three months, Jones has spent more than $15,000 to train feverishly in seclusion with a team of specialists — ranging from nutritionists to mental-conditioning experts — for the second chance that falls into the hands of so many NFL players these days.

“Matt Jones deserves a second chance,” said former teammate Maurice Williams, a Jaguars tackle. “We all make mistakes, do things we aren’t proud of. He messed up and was honest about it. He knows he can’t afford to make any more mistakes.”

Jones’ agent, Dave Butz, said he’s spoken with several teams about possible interest in his client. Nothing concrete seems imminent.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
