Ronald Jones II

That's enough. We've officially lost all faith in being able to predict what Bruce Arians is going to do with the backfield. Don't even try. Arians said Jones was benched for missing a blitz pickup, so it could be just a one-game thing. Fortunately, they don't have another matchup with the Jaguars where we must find someone to start. The Colts are coming off a game in which they allowed Derrick Henry 149 yards and a touchdown on the ground, but don't think that's the norm. That was actually the first time in 28 regular season games under Matt Eberflus that the Colts allowed a 100-yard rusher. You then add in the fact that they've allowed just four rushing touchdowns through 12 games this year, and you have yourself a matchup with a very limited ceiling no matter who the starter is. Opposing running backs have averaged just 25.4 running back touches per game against the Colts, which doesn't bode well for anyone in this backfield, as Dare Ogunbowale always seems destined to take 3-5 touches off the table, leaving the unappealing duo to roughly 20 touches here. During the fantasy playoffs, the last thing you want is instability in your lineup. Jones would still be the favorite for me here, but he's nothing more than a high-end RB4.

Ronald Jones benched for missed blitz pickup

Bucs coach Bruce Arians says Ronald Jones was benched in Week 13 for missing a blitz pickup.

Fantasy Impact

"RoJo missed a blitz pickup and that's it. You don't get to play no more" were Arians' exact words. Peyton Barber then came into the game and wound up scoring two touchdowns. Jones will be difficult to trust in Week 14 versus the Colts.
