Three weeks into the fantasy season, it's important you don't lose sight of the big picture.

You drafted Julius Jones to be a backup on your fantasy team. A part-time player. And as such, he has been much more than you ever could have imagined.

Why has this happened? Because Jones' sidekick, Maurice Morris, got hurt, giving the ex-Cowboy much more of an opportunity than anyone expected.

But that's not going to last long. T.J. Duckett already is cutting into Jones' carries, and Morris eventually will be back.

And let's not forget: The reason the Seahawks are running so much in the first place is because all their top receivers are hurt. That's changing, too.

Before long, Jones will be back in the role he was supposed to have this season -- a part-time back on a pass-first team.

At that point, he will have only limited value. Today, he has huge value.

Do yourself a favor: Sell high.
