Ronald Jones II Was Benched In Week 13
5 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was benched in Week 13 against the Jaguars after he missed a blitz pickup. "Rojo missed a blitz pickup and that's it," head coach Bruce Arians said. "You don't get to play no more." Jones finished with six carries for just eight yards and saw Peyton Barber score two touchdowns. Jones also wasn't targeted in the passing game for the third time this year. He is the better option over Barber, but the Bucs frustratingly continue to work Barber in over Jones. With the fantasy playoffs now here, owners shouldn't be trusting Tampa's backfield with the stakes even higher.
