Washington Redskins' running back Matt Jones has been the talk of fantasy football for the last several days. The rookie running back from Florida received some glowing reviews in training camp and his solid preseason carried over into week two of the NFL season as the 6-foot-2, 230-pound back rushed for 123 yards and two scores against the Baltimore Ravens.
Jones, a bruising back with speed to burn, fits the mold of an every-down NFL tailback – even if he is currently splitting carries with veteran Alfred Morris. Jones definitely isn't the type of player that comes to mind when thinking about the Urban Meyer regime at Florida.
