Ernest Jones IV News
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones is has a great matchup in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are averaging over 33 rushing attempts per game, and Jones excels at defending the run. Per PFF, Jones has been the No. 13 best linebacker against the run. He has made 93 combined tackles, the 17th-most of any player at any position. The Browns are one of the top five teams in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing IDP LBs, largely due to the linebackers' heavy opportunity for making tackles against running backs. With injuries to their quarterbacks and Joe Flacco starting his first game of the season, the Browns might lean on the run, making Jones a strong start.
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues will not have Jones available to them this weekend, but with a bye coming in Week 10, the Rams are expecting the 23-year-old to return to action in Week 11. When healthy, Jones is in play as a starting option at the linebacker position in all IDP formats. Through eight weeks, he checks in as the No. 19 overall linebacker in overall fantasy points with 43 tackles and one sack. The middle of LA's defense will be a little bit more vulnerable against the Packers with Jones unavailable to play. Troy Reeder should see a bigger role at Lambeau Field.
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones was held out of practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and Friday. Jones is a notable name for fantasy managers that play in IDP leagues. The 23-year-old ranks 14th among all linebackers in terms of overall fantasy points through six weeks of the season and is tied for fourth in the NFL with 37 tackles. If he is unable to gain clearance to play on Sunday, it would be a big blow for the Rams defense, and Jake Hummel would see an increased role in the middle of the defense. Jones also has one sack and eight tackles for loss so far in 2023.
