Tony Jones Jr. Fantasy

Former New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, according to a source. Jones played in just six games last year between the Saints and Seattle Seahawks and had just 10 carries for 24 yards and five receptions for 30 yards. In the previous two seasons for the Saints, he combined for 57 carries, 155 yards and no touchdowns while adding five catches for 29 yards through the air in 12 games (five starts). Jones could have a slightly bigger role early on behind Samaje Perine for Denver if Javonte Williams (knee) isn't ready to go, but even in that scenario, Jones won't have much fantasy upside. The Broncos could also add to the position in the draft, which would further bury Jones on his new team's depth chart.

The Seattle Seahawks waived running back Tony Jones Jr. on Wednesday. The Seahawks signed defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon in a corresponding move. Jones was claimed off waivers from the Saints by the Seahawks in October. The 25-year-old rushed for 16 yards on eight attempts across four games for the Seahawks in 2022. The Seahawks waived Jones despite DeeJay Dallas (ankle) and Kenneth Walker III (ankle) dealing with injuries, while Travis Homer is currently Seattle's only healthy running back. Jones will look to latch onto another team in need of running back depth.

Seattle Seahawks running back Tony Jones Jr. was barely used in the Week 14 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Jones was in line to start this week over Travis Homer, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, but only had one rush attempt for two yards and one reception for zero yards. Even if Kenneth Walker III cannot play on Thursday night, Jones should be left on waiver wires.
