James Jones hops aboard "Gravy Train"

      OAKLAND - On the actual gridiron, this off-season saw 30 year-old James Jones bolt the crowded receiving corps of Green Bay for the target saturated fields of Northern California. So it only seems fitting that in fantasy, Jones' reliable hands end up making a move to a team that could use some depth at receiver.
James Jones is ready to become "the" guy in Oakland  
      On Friday, Manning Gravy Train GM Ronnie Hawkins pulled the trigger with the wily Keegan Warwick of the Luck Dynasty to land the receiver in exchange for a 2016 second round pick.
In Oakland, Jones finds himself in a great opportunity to play immediately if he develops a good chemistry with veteran quarterback Matt Schaub, the same goes for his ride on the 'Gravy Train.'
"We have a lot of guys coming off injuries, this move helps buy us some time and get Eric (Decker) and Reggie (Wayne) back to 100-percent." said Hawkins.  
       The move also helps Luck Dynasty as Jones was buried behind Megatron, Julio Jones, and Brandon Marshal. Getting an extra pick means another bullet in the chamber for Warwick who has a history of making some explosive trades with his stockpiled draft picks. Is there another move on the horizon for the fantasy juggernaut? Time will tell.
      As for the Gravy Train? This move helps keep the train on the tracks as the Championship window slowly starts to shut with every "Omaha" that's shouted on Sunday.
