Week 11: Pick Up of The Week

By Zack Cimini

Any obvious football fan has seen that Julius Jones is going to be a top fifteen back in this league in the immediate future. In two weeks he has almost already accomplished the stats that Eddie George has combined for this year. He is a young explosive back, that will only get better as the Cowboys quarterback situation does.

Bill Parcell?s got into Julius Jones head earlier in the season, and he took it very seriously during his time off with an injury. For Parcell?s to give Jones the starting job back immediately when he was healthy, shows how much talent Parcell?s sees in the youngster. This is twice that Parcell?s has shown a different attitude in the way he directs his players. In the summer when Antonio Bryant threw a towel at Parcells, it would?ve been an automatic given for Bryant to be cut. But Parcells only put Bryant in his doghouse, because he knew how much talent Bryant has. Even though he ended up trading Bryant for Quincy Morgan, it is besides the point.

In fantasy football drafts during the summer, Jones was picked in many leagues. But any player that is out for a length of the year is often cut by an owner. If you didn?t pick him up off of waivers last week, than you?ve lost out on any slim opportunity. He should be a big payoff towards the fantasy football playoffs.
