Both go up against tough D's but Jacksonville line is rife with injuries. Should I sit my 1st pick and take Jones? I am also starting Ruben Droughns this week against NO. Thanks!

Tough matchups!
Jordan is the choice.
Even if the Chargers shut down the running game, he catches the ball a lot out of the backfield. (He caught 70 passes last year.) He is most likely going to get a shot at a goal line carry. He could end up with a night much like Ronnie Brown had against Pittsburgh.
I may be in the minority, but I think Jones is going to share carries with Marion Barber III more than people guess. Jacksonville is tough, and I think Glenn, Witten and Owens are going to take of the scoring.
You'll be okay with Droughns. Keep an eye on J. Harrison (his rookie backup). I think he could get the job at some point in the season.
Good luck.

A major factor in this is each player's offensive line and the D they're going up against and with both factors considered...I think Lamont Jordan is your best bet.
Art Shell was a lineman and the O-line for the raiders have improved a whole lot since he took charge

Start Jordan. Jones is going to split carries with Marion Barber and is not 100%. The Oakland matchup is also better than the Dallas matchup.
Good Luck.

LaMont Jordan without a doubt he won't be losing carries like Jones will to Barber

NEVER sit your #1 pick, unless it's on a bye week or he's hurt. That's why you took him #1. Jones also will be sharing carries with Barber. Jordan won't.

Definately Jordan, the one thing that I learned about fantasy, start the studs no matter what, they will produce 9 times out of 10. Look at what he did last year.

I can't believe you selected Lamont Jordan with the 6th pick in your league's draft

LaMont Jordan.
He's going to see alot of action once Erin Brooks throws her 4th INT.

I'd go with Jones, since Oakland is liable to be behind early in the game with their aging defense.
