2021 Fantasy Outlook
Jones, a 2020 UDFA out of Notre Dame, spent most of his rookie season on the Saints' practice squad and now hopes to win a roster spot in Year 2. Reports out of camp suggest he made a strong bid, perhaps even unseating Latavius Murray in the No. 2 role. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Little work in loss
Jones carried the ball three times for seven yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The Saints' offense had no success moving the ball at all, leaving few touches and little room to operate for the rookie running back. Jones remains firmly behind Alvin Kamara on the depth chart, and the game script may not favor him getting much work in Week 3 as New Orleans is on the road in New England.
