Ernest Jones News
Fantasy managers rostering Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones may want to follow the Cincinnati Bengals' injury reports. If Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow misses the Week 3 matchup against the Rams, Jones should be in line for a huge game. Jones has been productive in his first season as the Rams' every-down linebacker, having made 19 combined tackles in the first two weeks, and he is best at playing the run. Jones has made about 70% of his solo tackles on running plays, according to PFF. If Burrow misses the game, the Bengals will start Jake Browning, who has spent most of his four-year career on various practice squads and only attempted a single pass. The Bengals may lean on the run, and Jones would be in a good position to pile up the tackles.
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings and is considered week-to-week. There is a chance he returns for the playoffs, which would be a big boost for the defense as the 22-year-old emerged as a starter midway through the year. Jones has 36 solo tackles, one sack, and two interceptions so far this season. Travin Howard replaced Jones and was impressive, as he recorded an interception and two pass breakups against the Vikings, so he will likely carve out a larger role in his absence.
Los Angeles Rams rookie linebacker Ernest Jones (ankle) is believed to have suffered the dreaded high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source, and he's considered week-to-week with a chance to return for the playoffs. Jones, a third-round pick in the draft, emerged as a starter midway through the season and has impressed by recording 61 tackles, two interceptions and a sack in 15 games played. He has started seven of the Rams last eight games. Travin Howard stepped in to replace Jones in Week 16 and figures to see more playing time in the final two games of the regular season with Jones unlikely to play.
