Ronald Jones to get 15-20 touches?
by Jody Smith | Sun, Jun 17th 5:32pm EDT
Tampa Bay Times staff writer Rick Stroud wrote about the Bucs' first- and second-year players and surmised that second-round rookie running back Ronald Jones "could post the biggest numbers since he should get 15 to 20 touches per game." That would translate out to 240-320 touches in a 16-game season, which is a substantial workload for a rookie rusher that is expected to also cede some carries to Peyton Barber and passing-down work to Charles Sims.

Fantasy Impact:
If Jones gets that kind of workload, he's going to potentially be an RB2 right out of the gate in a potent Tampa Bay offense that should give him ample opportunities to score. Our own Mike Tagliere has Jones as his No. 3 player in the 2018 draft class, making him a nice value at 1.06 and a player to target in the fourth or fifth round of redraft leagues.
