Jonas Gray welcomes LeGarrette Blount
by John Aubin | Thu, Nov 20th 6:50pm EST
Running back Jonas Gray received widespread praise for his 201-yard, four-touchdown performance against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night. He also received something else a bit unexpected: A new teammate at running back in LeGarrette Blount. “I wasn’t necessarily surprised. In this business, not a whole lot surprises me, especially given where I’ve come from,†Gray said Thursday, the day the Patriots inked Blount to a two-year contract. “I just prepare the same way -- it doesn't matter who we sign or who we bring here. I believe in Bill [Belichick] and whatever he’s doing.†(ESPN Boston)
Fantasy Impact:
There were many owners who added Jonas Gray to their teams off the waiver wire this week. They have to wonder what will happen now that LeGarrette Blount comes to town. I think for now the job is Gray's to lose. Gray has hit holes, run effectively in the red zone and also has done a great job picking up blitzes and pass blocking. If he continues to do all these things, he will be a fantasy asset.
