DAYS AWAY RONALD JENKEES SERIES

In a vacuum I would want Ronald Jones over Leonard Fournette, but I think itвЂ™s close enough that I would prefer to draft the cheaper of the two on draft day - which right now is Leonard Fournette, but IвЂ™m not really banging the table for either as a вЂmust-haveвЂ™ or anything.ДЇor each entry, there will be a link to a charitable cause/foundation. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back situation, I see it being a committee once again with Ronald Jones being the high floor/lower ceiling option and Leonard Fournette being the low floor/high ceiling option (because heвЂ™s a much better pass-catcher). Ronald Jones is ranked as RB32 in standard, RB32 in 0.5 PPR, and RB32 in PPR on Fantasy Pros right now. Over the course of the 41 games that Byron Leftwich has been an offensive coordinator, his tailbacks have averaged 20.95 carries, 84.61 rushing yards, 0.76 rushing touchdowns, 5.20 receptions, 7.20 targets, 39.63 receiving yards, and 0.12 receiving touchdowns per game.

Over the course of the 256 games that Bruce Arians has been an offensive coordinator or head coach, his tailbacks have averaged 23.62 carries, 93.63 rushing yards, 0.66 rushing touchdowns, 4.11 receptions, 5.91 targets, 34.46 receiving yards, and 0.13 receiving touchdowns per game. Last year Ronald Jones had 35 red zone rushing attempts while Leonard Fournette had 20 red zone rushing attempts according to NFL Savant. Ronald Jones has posted PFF grades of 48.8 (2018), 67.6 (2019), and 73.6 (2020) over the course of his career. On the season last year Ronald Jones was the RB15 (11.3 fantasy PPG) in standard, RB16 in 0.5 PPR (12.3 fantasy PPG), and RB20 (13.3 fantasy PPG) in PPR according to Fantasy Pros. HeвЂ™s a solid back, but appears to be viewed as more of a committee guy than a full-on bell-cow which limits his upside.

HasnвЂ™t Gotten A True Bell-Cow Workload In His Career: Ronald JonesвЂ™s career-high in carries on a season is the 192 he saw last year, and his career high in touches is 220 according to Pro Football Reference. Based on how Fournette plays in the playoffs, itвЂ™s hard to say if Jones will lead the team in carries once again in 2021. Lombardi Lenny: While Ronald Jones had more carries than Leonard Fournette during the regular season (Jones - 192, Fournette - 97), Leonard Fournette had more carries in each of the Buccaneers playoff games against the Washington Football Team (Fournette got 19 carries, Jones was out), New Orleans Saints (Fournette - 17 carries, Jones - 13 carries), Green Bay Packers (Fournette - 12 carries, Jones - 10 carries), and the Kansas City Chiefs (Fournette - 16 carries, Jones - 12 carries). Regardless of where you like to get your statistics, itвЂ™s clear that Jones has suspect hands and thereвЂ™s a good chance that he doesnвЂ™t see as much receiving work in 2021 because of it. According to Pro Football Reference, in 2020 Jones dropped 5 passes and posting a drop % of 11.9%, according to PlayerProfiler it was 6 drops (4th most among RBs) and a drop rate of 14.3%, and according to Rotowire he had a drop rate of 11.6%. This could lead to Jones having more scoring opportunities than the average back which would raise his upside.Дropsies: While on the stat sheet Ronald Jones caught 28 passes on 42 targets for 165 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown last year, he has not been a very good pass-catcher in general. Plays In A High-Powered Offense: Last year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were 7th in total yards and 3rd in points scored according to ESPN. Having a good offensive line will make it easier for the Buccaneers running backs to be productive. Good Offensive Line: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line is projected to be the 5th best offensive line in football for the 2021 season according to PFF after ranking 5th a year ago. Clearly heвЂ™s a pretty good rushing talent. He also had 65.7% of his yards after contact according to Rotowire, which was above average for a back. He had eight carries for more than 15 rushing yards (12th among RBs), created 1.71 yards per touch (8th among RBs), and had 375 yards created (8th among RBs) according to PlayerProfiler. Talented Runner: Last year Ronald Jones averaged 5.1 yards per carry and 4.7 true yards per carry (9th best among RBs) according to PlayerProfiler.
