Ronald Jones (quad) a game-time call for Buccaneers on Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones (quad) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup with the New Orleans Saints, per head coach Bruce Arians.
What It Means:
Jones looked better at Friday's practice but Leonard Fournette will start again Sunday even if Jones is cleared. Fournette racked up 132 yards and a touchdown on 23 touches versus the Washington Football Team last weekend with Jones sidelined.
Fournette converted 27 adjusted opportunities into 21.2 FanDuel points in Tampa Bay's Wild Card win. For the Divisional Round, Fournette has a salary of $6,300. That carries appeal for a starting running back who could see a large workload, but it will be against a Saints defense that allowed the fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position during the regular season.
