Tony Jones Jr. News
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. is a healthy scratch for the Thursday night game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. It's a bit of a surprise with Alvin Kamara (knee) missing his fourth straight game, although the Saints will get Mark Ingram II back after he missed the Thanksgiving loss last week to the Buffalo Bills. Ingram should handle the bulk of the backfield touches, and new starting quarterback Taysom Hill can use his legs to gain yards on the ground when needed. Behind them, New Orleans will mix in Ty Montgomery and potentially special teamer Dwayne Washington, but none of those options will be great for fantasy lineups to kick off Week 13 action.
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. managed 16 carries for 27 yards in the Thanksgiving night loss to Buffalo. Jones was the RB1 for the night as both Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram II (knee) were inactive. Those two backs head the RB depth chart on New Orleans and even if one returns next week, Jones' fantasy value would be nonexistent.
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. is likely to get the majority of the backfield work against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12's Thursday Night Football game. The Saints have already ruled Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee) out for the game, leaving Jones and Ty Montgomery as the team's top running backs for the contest. The Bills represent a tough matchup for opposing running backs as they are allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. There is some risk in playing Jones on Thursday night as head coach Sean Payton could also choose to mix Taysom Hill in on running plays more frequently than usual. Treat Jones as a high-end RB3 for Thursday night.
