6 years agoRonald Jones II's NFL career has been off to a rough start. After getting drafted in the second round of the 2018 draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, expectations were high for the Trojan running back coming off of an extremely successful college career. RoJo produced 3619 rushing yards (6.1 ypc) and 42 total touchdowns in his three seasons at USC. Jones was expected to slide right into the starting role, but after a tumultuous preseason, he was usurped by for UDFA Peyton Barber. Jones failed to play his way into much work throughout the year by rushing 23 times for just 44 yards. Going into 2019, plenty of question marks remain around the Buccaneers backfield. Peyton Barber displayed a competent ability to carry the load last season and UDFA Bruce Anderson is also lying in the woodworks waiting for an opportunity to open up. If Jones can impress the new coaching staff this preseason, he will be at the forefront of a Bruce Arians led offense that should prove extremely valuable in fantasy. RoJo's current ADP is below that of Peyton Barber which seems wrong. The Buccaneers invested draft capital and will give him every opportunity to prove himself. This is a redemption year for a talented running back who can potentially become a majority carry-holder by Week one. He's worth grabbing at the current price.--Kev Mahserejian
