Arians: Buccaneers RB1 job is Ronald Jones'

Dec 20, 2021

Bruce Arians says it's Ronald Jones' time now to do what Leonard Fournette did late last year when Jones got hurt. Arians says it's Jones's job right now.

Fantasy Impact:

Fournette is expected to miss a game or two, but that game or two is also the fantasy semifinals and finals for a lot of leagues. ESPN's Mike Clay tweeted about Jones and how he produced in four games with Fournette out of the lineup last year: 26 touches, 128 yards; 20 touches, 125 yards; 25 touches, 121 yards, 2 TD; 19 touches, 84 yards, 1 TD. Those who already backed up for Fournette with Jones at least can feel good about plugging in a potential solid option for the next week or two. He'll be a must-add off the wire and a potential RB1 for Week 16. The Bucs play the Panthers, Jets and Panthers again to close the regular season.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
