Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones to have finger surgery

Dec 15, 2020

RB Ronald Jones is scheduled today to have a surgical procedure to have a pin placed in his broken pinky finger.

Related players: LeSean McCoy, Leonard Fournette

Fantasy Impact:

His status is uncertain for Week 15 at this point, but owners should probably be prepared to be without him. Last week, Fournette was a healthy scratch as McCoy moved up to be the RB2. We reported Monday from the The Athletic that McCoy could very well earn and keep the RB2 job, but with Jones possibly out, it could be more of a split between McCoy and Fournette in Week 15. Owners should continue to monitor heading into Week 15 but McCoy is worth a pickup since he's likely on your waiver wire.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
