Ronald Jones II Impresses In Expanded Role
5 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was expected to lead the Bucs backfield in touches in Week 10, and although he did, the results were mixed. Jones posted 106 yards and a touchdown on 19 touches but ended up fumbling at a key point in the fourth quarter. From there it was all Peyton Barber for the Bucs final drive, and he ended up scoring a one-yard touchdown. Jones and Peyton Barber both saw 11 touches on the ground, with the discrepancy coming through the air, as Jones hauled in eight catches to Barber's one. Had Jones not fumbled his status would be clear, but as of now it's unknown, and with a tough matchup against the Saints coming up in Week 11 he will be a tough sell as a starting fantasy option. For now, Jones will slot in as a middling flex option for that matchup.
