Rob Kelley will start Week 8 if Matt Jones (knee) can't go for Washington
Washington running back Rob Kelley would start if Matt Jones (knee) can't play this week, head coach Jay Gruden said.
What It Means:
"If Matt has an issue where he can’t go, it would be Robert in the lead role, more likely," said Gruden. "Chris [Thompson] has such an important role as far as third downs that we need him in that, and he’s not a very big guy." It's not a surprise that the Redskins would give Kelley carries over Thompson, but he'll need Jones to not play to have value.
Our algorithms project Jones for 56 rushing yards and 0.49 touchdowns on 13 carries, as well as 2 receptions for 18 yards, if he can go in Week 8.
