Cleared is not the same as useful. Jones has given you 10.0 and 10.5 FFPC points in two weeks, which is the definition of a flex you start when nothing better exists. A 42.5-point total on the road against Tampa is not the setting where that changes. He is rostered in every league that counts, so hold him and play him only if your bench is worse. If it isn't, he sits.
