Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After playing in both New Orleans and Seattle in 2022, the Broncos signed Jones to a one-year deal this offseason. The 25-year-old played in six games last season, rushing just 10 times for 24 yards and reeling in five catches for 30 yards. Jones will be reunited with Denver's new head coach Sean Payton, who he played under while both were with the Saints. The 5-11, 224-pounder slots in as a depth option in the running back room behind both Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine, but Jones' familiarity with the offensive system should help him to carve out a third-string role with his new team. Jones was cut by the Broncos at the end of training camp and signed to the Saints practice squad.
Jones will enter the 2022 campaign competing for the backup running back role behind starter Alvin Kamara. However, with Mark Ingram still under contract, it's likely that Jones will have to beat out the veteran for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. The 24-year-old totaled 52 carries for 142 yards and five catches for 29 yards in 11 games during the 2021 season. If Ingram can't hold up at age 32, Jones has a shot to see an increased role this coming season behind Kamara.
Jones, a 2020 UDFA out of Notre Dame, spent most of his rookie season on the Saints' practice squad and now hopes to win a roster spot in Year 2. Reports out of camp suggest he made a strong bid, perhaps even unseating Latavius Murray in the No. 2 role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have big role Week 14
RBSeattle Seahawks
December 7, 2022
Jones could have an expanded role in Week 14 against the Panthers with Kenneth Walker missing practice Wednesday due to the ankle strain he suffered Sunday against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones stepped into an early-down role against the Rams after Walker exited in the second quarter, posting 14 rushing yards on seven carries but gaining just two first downs along the way. The Notre Dame product also recorded two receptions for 18 yards, and head coach Pete Carroll noted that Jones looked "really good" in Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Walker is reportedly rehabbing the injury intensely, but his status for Sunday's contest remains firmly up in the air.
