Saints promote running back Tony Jones Jr. to active roster
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. is eligible to play in Week 3's game against the Green Bay Packers.
What It Means:
With Jamaal Williams unlikely to play in Week 3, Jones Jr. is on track for an increased role in New Orleans' backfield. In a matchup versus a Packers' defense allowing 25.9 FanDuel points per game to running backs, our models project Jones Jr. to score 6.9 FanDuel points.
Jones Jr.'s current Week 3 projection includes 10.1 rushing attempts for 43.5 yards and 1.0 reception for 7.2 yards.
