Arians: Buccaneers RB1 job is Ronald Jones'

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.
