The Facts:
The Jets plan to employ a 1-2 punch of Jones and Leon Washington. Jones is a workmanlike runner. Washington can provide electricity. "Who plays, and how much they play, will be determined on the field," said GM Mike Tannenbaum, declining to anoint Jones as the feature back.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones came from a similar situation in Chicago, where he split time with Cedric Benson -- a situation he didn't care for. Still, when asked about the prospect of sharing the workload with Washington, Jones toed the company line. "That's up to the coaches," said Jones, not about to question the team that just put $12 million in his bank account. ... Worth noting: Jones actually benefited from Benson's presence. In the seven games last season in which Benson carried the ball at least a dozen times, Jones averaged 4.8 yards per carry. In the other 12 games, when he was the workhorse, his average dipped to 4.1.
