Scouting report

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Detroit Lions

Ronald Jones had an even split of carries with Peyton Barber last week as they each ran 11 times. Jones finished with 36 yards on the ground while catching four passes for 23 yards. The Bucs have split playing time with their three backs pretty evenly on the season (328 snaps for Jones, 307 for Dare Ogunbowale, 302 for Barber) making it difficult for any of them to be a reliable option each week. This is a great matchup for Jones, but his production is tough to predict with such an even split among three players. He's nothing more than a desperation flex play.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Ronald Jones ran the ball six times for eight yards last week before being benched by Bruce Arians for a pass-protection error. Arians says Jones is still starting, but this benching just adds more drama to this already frustrating three-man backfield. To make matters worse, Jones doesn't even get a good matchup this week as he faces a Colts defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. We'd advise staying away as Jones is nothing more than a desperation flex play in Week 14.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Ronald Jones finished 12-51-1 as a rusher last week while adding in 16 yards on three receptions. Jones has had an interesting season, but he's been a bit more consistent lately, scoring three times in his last four games. He splits too much playing time with Peyton Barber and Dare Ogunbowale to ever really have an explosive game, but as long as he's scoring and getting double-digit touches, he'll have value. He gets a great matchup against the Jaguars this week, who have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs over the past four weeks. We like Jones as a low-end RB2 or a strong flex play in Week 13.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Atlanta Falcons

The Bucs' three-way log jam at running back caused problems for Ronald Jones last week as he touched the ball six times (four carries, two catches) for 14 yards. He played the second-most snaps among the three backs, getting out-played by Dare Ogunbowale. Jones has had some good games this season, but Tampa's use of these three can cause headaches on any given week. He has a decent matchup against the Falcons this week, but should only be viewed as a flex option.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. New Orleans Saints

Ronald Jones continues to split time with Peyton Barber and Dare Ogunbowale, but he's improving his value. He ran 11 times for 29 yards and a touchdown last week. But his real production surprisingly came as a receiving threat as he caught eight passes for 77 yards. Jones had just eight receptions total heading into last week, so it came as a shock to see him so involved. It's not clear if this is a one-game thing or a trend to monitor moving forward. Either way, Jones has been the best back in this three-headed monster and has emerged as an RB2 play. He does get a tough matchup against the Saints this week, though. New Orleans is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Ronald Jones has now led the Bucs in carries in two straight games, although he took a firmer grip on that role last week. He ran the ball 18 times, which is just the second time this season he's had 15 or more carries in a game. He had 82 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown in an overall solid performance. He should play well again this week in a decent matchup against the Cardinals, but his timeshare with both Peyton Barber and Dare Ogunbowale is still worrisome. Barber should be viewed as a flex option in Week 10.

TB RB Ronald Jones - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Seattle Seahawks

Ronald Jones had the most touches out of Tampa Bay's dreaded trio of a backfield last week, but the fewest number of snaps. He ran the ball 11 times for 35 yards and caught one pass for 17 yards. None of these backs (Jones, Peyton Barber, Dare Ogunbowale) have really distanced themselves, and all three are getting consistent playing time. Jones and Barber offer more value than Ogunbowale, but neither one is much more than a desperation flex play in the hopes they can score a touchdown.
