Bears Sign Kevin Jones - Fantasy Impact

by Kori Ellis on July 16th, 2008

After Cedric Benson got arrested once on a boat and once in a car, the Chicago Bears released their 2007 starting running back. To help fill that void, the Bears signed Kevin Jones — formerly of the Detroit Lions. Jones had recently been working out for a number of NFL teams.

With Jones in the fold, there should be a lot of competition for the starting running back job. In addition Jones, the Bears have rookie Matt Forte and returning veterans Adrian Peterson and Garrett Wolfe. Right now, it appears as if Forte is the favorite to be named the starting running back.

While Forte is the favorite, Jones can’t be overlooked. He has had great success in his career at times and if it weren’t for a number of injuries, he’d likely be considered to be one of the best young running backs in the league. Keep an eye on Jones to see if he eventually wins the starting running back job. If he does, Jones will have very good fantasy football value.
