I like KJ and I think with Martz' system he could easily be a top 10 fantasy back this year (he is #3 currently).

And by the way, I'm obviously playing Portis and LT the vast majority of the time. I did draft Portis ahead of Jones, after all, indicating I feel he is a better fantasy value. But some matchups can be interesting. I could have played Jones last week and got more points out of him.

I understand that, but he's not as good as LT or CP, and he's not nearly as safe a bet for 100 yards. he'd be a good flex player, but anytime you replace LT or CP with him, that's a huge gamble. I mean, how likely is mike furrey to outscore LT? yeah he did it last week, but i'd NEVER replace LT with him for any reason besides injury.

Why is there even a doubt in your head?
You never take LT or CP out of your lineup.
