According to D&D -"Analysis: Fantasy owners must forget about what they saw from Jones over the past two seasons and recognize that he plays in a high-octane offense (ranked 20th in rushing yards per game in 2007) that needs a quality running back. Jones is it. He's got a real shot at not just 1,000 yards, but perhaps 1,500 total yards (bold prediction for a career 3.9 yards per rush and 8.8 yards per catch - put them together and what do ya' get? not enough....) with plenty of touchdowns (How many rushing TDs for the Seahawks in 2007? 9 oh, and how many does Julius have in his ENTIRE CAREER? 18). It only helps Jones' case that he hasn't been used as an every-down back over the last two seasons (for a reason I suspect...). Expect Jones to be a No. 2 Fantasy RB in 2008, well worth a pick between late Round 2 and the end of Round 3. "
In hindsight, I may have misspoke last week - Michael Turner isn't the most overrated RB this offseason...
