Dirty Little Birdie 1,143 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 not in love with his projections this week. now that MT is out, i might be forced to roll the dice. is anyone here optimistic about this week? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gmen07 170 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Has Jones actually been ruled out yet? He may still end up playing even though it seems unlikely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulwall29 850 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Can't wait to watch Fournette run into the back of the center over and over this Sunday! Gonna be electric! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fantasymad 377 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Was Jones a close contact or a true positive? Big difference. If he was a true positive, he was placed on COVID list on 12/16, he can still be cleared to play on game day 12/26. If he is out, I think you have to play Fournette vs the putrid Lions defense.

TeflonDonNewcombe 75 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Well the game is on Saturday not Sunday.. second of all it seems this guy is also speculating when he says "unlikely". Still quite a bit to uncover here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,327 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Why does he say he 'would be surprised' like there's a chance, then framing it like it's a technicality(minimum 10 days) and Rojo can't make it and would have to be out. It's like he's leaving room for the fact he may not know what the f--- he's talking about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trilly 299 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2020/12/22/ronald-jones-likely-out-for-bucs-saturday-against-lions/ Doesn't sound like he's speculating much in this article. As the beat writer, I assume he's legit but don't follow the Bucs so maybe someone else knows more. Edited December 22, 2020 by trilly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LongBalls 1,193 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 In the original tweet, I believe he was attempting to reference a team source, but didn't come across clearly. Seems its Arians and the Bucs that have called Jones "doubtful". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fantasymad 377 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Looking very likely that Jones is out again vs Detroit. It is hard to overstate how bad Detroit's run D has been. The absolute worst in the league. Thoughts on starting Fournette in the ship? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's also hard to overstate how meh Fournette has been with the exception of one or maybe 2 games. Also, Detroit is #4 in rushing yards allowed, but if we look at yards per attempt, they're more middle of the pack (#12). I don't think it's as clear-cut as you make it to be (hope it to be).

They have given up 17 TDs to RB in 14 games as well. 25 fantasy pts per game to the position in standard leagues. League worst. Its pretty clear cut how bad their run D is. But Fournette's production on the other hand is up for debate not his matchup however. My two cents. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where do you draw the line? His matchup is tempting but I'm not sure how to fit him into my lineup this week. Will save the WDIS but is he a top 10 play this week? 15?

FWIW I follow a few of the better industry experts - Pat Fitzmaurice has him #12 STD and #11 0.5 PPR. Waiting to see what Koerner has to say tomorrow (he ranked Fournette a Mid-RB2 last week and it worked out). This all makes sense considering he dominated carries and had 1 more target than McCoy + Vaughn combined, and he's playing against a bottom 3 run D with the head coach, DC and some other defensive assistants possibly out.

Prezkot 496 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Any chance he comes back to TB next season? Maybe they run him hard vs the bad Detroit D without RoJo to determine if he’s worth signing next season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
