Green Bay Packers running back rushed 15 times for 58 yards and caught 5 passes (5 targets) for 21 yards in a 34-17, Week 9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.
The assumption before the game was that Jones was only active in case of an emergency since the Packers had Jamaal Williams and A.J. Dillon on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He wound up starting while Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams combined for just 14 touches. Jones even tied for the second-most targets on the team behind Davante Adams. He will have a few extra days to rest before a Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jones scored 10.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. He is averaging the fifth-most FanDuel points per game (19.4) among running backs this season. Jones should be able to feast in Week 10 against a Jaguars team that has the third-worst rushing defense in numberFire's advanced team rankings.
