Xavier Jones News
Running back Xavier Jones (ankle) was waived by the Rams on Friday. The 24-year-old signed with L.A. as an undrafted free agent in May 2020 and appeared in 13 games that season, mainly as a member of the special teams unit. However, he missed the 2021-22 campaign due to an ankle injury. Jones has a good chance of finding a new home in the near future if he proves he's healthy. Even then, he's a long way away from having any fantasy value.
Los Angeles Rams running back Xavier Jones saw his path to the roster get much harder last week when the team traded for Sony Michel, and he didn't blow the team away as he needed to in the preseason finale against the Denver Broncos. Jones had 13 carries for 44 yards to go with three catches for 20 yards on five targets. Jones is fighting for the third running back spot with teammate Jake Funk, and Funk was held out of this game. If these were Jones' final snaps with the Rams this season, he hopefully has a good enough case to end up on another team's roster. A few weeks ago, Jones would have qualified as a decent stash player, but it seems now that he would be worthy of dropping from fantasy rosters.
Los Angeles Rams running back Xavier Jones (ankle) was injured during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos. The sophomore hurt his left ankle and was observed being examined on the sidelines, although he could put weight on it, which was ultimately a good sign. Nonetheless, after Cam Akers (Achilles) was lost for the remainder of the year, Jones was expected to share some touches with Darrell Henderson Jr. (thumb) and Jake Funk during the regular season. However, with the acquisition of Sony Michel from New England along with Jones' latest ailment, things aren't looking too promising for him from a fantasy standpoint moving forward.
