Tony Jones Jr. Fantasy

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. (ankle) is expected to miss three to four weeks with an ankle injury, which he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Giants. Jones operated as Alvin Kamara's primary backup through the first four weeks, as he accumulated 87 scrimmage yards on 23 touches, a mark that ranks him second among Saints backs. New Orleans worked out several halfbacks on Tuesday- including Lamar Miller, Duke Johnson, Brian Hill, Ito Smith, and Ryquell Armstead- and it wouldn't be surprising to see them bring in a veteran name as insurance behind Kamara. The absence of Jones could mean even more touches for Kamara, who has dominated the backfield opportunities in New Orleans.

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. (leg) was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Alvin Kamara's backup, Jones has three carries for eight yards in Sunday's game and one catch for a loss of three yards. After having 11 carries in Week 1, Jones had just five total over the past two games. If Jones misses time, Alex Armah or Dwayne Washington could see an increase in usage, but neither would be fantasy relevant.

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. is off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Giants. Jones burst onto the scene in Week 1, handling 12 touches and seemingly stepping into the Latavius Murray role in the New Orleans offense. Since that point, the rookie has seen his snap count dip each week, as Alvin Kamara has handled the vast majority of the backfield's opportunities. Jones still has value as an insurance policy to Kamara, but he can't be started in any format right now with such a small workload.
