Tony Jones Jr.

The Denver Broncos have signed former New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. to a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Jones reunites with former Saints head coach Sean Peyton in Denver on a one-year pact. The 25-year-old appeared in six games between the Saints and Seahawks last season, producing just 24 rushing yards on 10 carries while adding five receptions for 30 yards. The Notre Dame product has yet to record a touchdown in 18 career appearances as he looks to break through with his new team in 2023.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Seattle Seahawks are signing RB Tony Jones Jr. from their practice squad after waiving NT Isaiah Mack.

Fantasy Impact

Jones has made an appearance in four games for Seattle this season and has had 11 touches. Jones has mostly just been used as a special team player, and with RB Kenneth Walker healthy, Jones likely won’t see much use. However, if RB DeeJay Dallas doesn’t play, Jones could see a backup role.

Tony Jones Jr. signed with the Seahawks practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

After seeing some playing time in Week 13 and 14, Jones was waived by the Seahawks when Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas returned healthy. With the Seahawks signing Godwin Igwebuike to the 53-man roster, Jones took his spot on the practice squad. He will continue to serve as a depth running back for Seattle.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, RB Tony Jones Jr. has been waived by the Seattle Seahawks after playing in two games.

Fantasy Impact

Jones saw limited action while RB Kenneth Walker III was out with an injury but only played in two games, carrying the ball eight times. Jones is in his third season and has played for the Seahawks and Saints. At just age 25, he’ll likely be picked up by a team and signed to the practice squad. The Seahawks have a deep backfield without Jones.

Tony Jones Jr. took one carry for two yards on Sunday against the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

With Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas sidelined, Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Jones was going to start. Travis Homer led the Seahawks backfield with nine carries, but no one in the backfield did well for Seattle. They will hope to get Kenneth Walker back on Thursday against the 49ers.
