Ronald Jones

Week 10 @ Washington Football Team

Ronald Jones played on just nine snaps in Week 8, his fewest since he was benched in Week 1. For whatever reason, Bruce Arians just refuses to put Jones on the field. So unless something happens to Leonard Fournette, Jones isn't a viable option in fantasy.

Week 7 vs. Chicago Bears

Ronald Jones had nearly an identical performance in Week 6 as he had in Week 5, seeing five carries and one catch for minimal yardage (29). Jones has had a pretty consistent role this year seeing between 4-6 carries in every single game with practically no use as a receiver, catching three total passes. Bruce Arians said this week he doesn't plan to trade Jones, so the talented back is simply relegated to scraps in Tampa Bay's offense. It's odd, but it's the reality. Jones is probably best left of waivers moving forward.

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Ronald Jones scored a touchdown last week, but that's about all he did. He had just six total touches, all carries, for 25 yards. Jones played on just 17% of the offensive snaps, the third time in four games he's played under 20%. Even if Jones touched the ball on every snap he played last week (13), he still would've finished 10 touches short of Leonard Fournette. He's also had 0 targets in three games, meaning he's not involved in the pass game. It's odd to see the Bucs just disregard a player who had 1,000 scrimmage yards a year ago, but Jones' role is too small at this point to warrant fantasy consideration.
