He posts the numbers even against tough defenses, but I have a bad feeling this week about Denver. I need to start two RB, and I also have T. Jones against the Jets and K. Jones against Arizona.
Thanks!

And if I do play him, which Jones looks better?

Does 15 TD's in 5 games mean anything to you? Unless your other RB's were LJ and Shaun Alexander, this is a silly question.
While the Jones (non) brothers might do well, do you want to be the laughing stock of the league on Monday when you took 15 pts from Thomas Jones while LDT got 35 on your bench. I'm not expecting another 3-4 TD game from LDT, just to do better then the other two. Even if he has an off game, he will still get you 10-15 pts, which is better then the off games Thomas or Kevin would get you.
Denver is 5th against the run, but hasn't played SD or KC this year. I bet Denver's stats wouldn't look as good if they had a game or two against those teams.
As for the Jones's, definitely go with Kevin. The Lions/Cardinals game will be a shootout to a huge degree and expect KJ to have well over 150 all-purpose yards and at least 1 score. I would expect TJ to do fairly well against the Jets. The Jets give up 143.2 against the run (28th) and Arizona gives up 124.6 (21st). However, Chicago will probably use Benson late in the game if it's a blow out racking up the meaningless (but fantasy-important) yards at the end of the game. KJ's backup is Brian Calhoun and I wouldn't expect to see much of him in the game.

I know how you feel. I've benched Tiki Barber in the past with a very deep roster (based on matchups) and have been burned twice so it's tough to advise anyone to bench a first-rounder.
Consider this though. Even though the Denver run D is pretty strong, the Broncos are not going to hold him to zero yards. If you knew with 90% certainty that LT would be good for at least 80 yards and a TD, would you still take a flyer on Thomas Jones at the Jets? Definitely play Kevin Jones.

No. LT is too valuable. He touches the ball more than any back in the league. If he doesn't have big rush numbers, he'll have big receiving numbers out of the backfield. The Jets defense isn't that bad against the run and Kevin Jones hasn't been that consistent to trust, even against Arizona.

Bench LT? I don't think so. T. Jones has been doing really good the past few weeks, so i would go with him, especially against the Jets.

i'd play LT. He has been doing very undesirable as you suggested contained in the documents. i'd take a seat Chris Johnson. Lendale White had an magnificent performance very last week and the Titans are probable leaning in course of him than Chris Johnson (note that this can make Chris Johnson want to play better!) Brandon Jacobs is a could commence and LT would have a damage-out recreation hostile to the Saints. So i'd play LT and Brandon Jacobs.

haha bench LT?
Kevin Jones looks better. He will be in the ball game more snap then Thomas Jones. The Bears are gonna get a big league, therefore Jones will be splitting series with Benson.

Hell no. Even if he doesnt have a great game can u see any of the Jones having a better chance at a good game. Ur goin to kick ur self when LT rushes for 100 yds wit a couple of scores on the bench.

Never, ever sit LT, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like TJ better. The Jets are giving up so many yards on the ground its not even funny. Arizona, while giving up a good amount of rushing yards aren't that bad, they just fall so far behind that teams run out the clock with a lot of rush attempts to end the games. I don't see Detroit jumping out ahead in this game and doing that. I think this is a "get right" game for Arizona's offense and a lot of their players.

Keep LT in the lineup with Thomas Jones

Do not bench LT. He is on a torrid pace to capture the all time NFL rushing TD's in a season and he's had quite a few games with over 150 yards rushing. I think the Charger's will find ways to get LT his yards and TD's.
