Summary

Running Back Rank: #306All Players: #1201

Jones finally hit the wall last season, failing to reach 500 yards for the first time since 2001. And he got his carries, having double-digit carries nine times. He topped 50-rushing yards just twice all year and his season high in rushing was just 55 yards. Jones averaged 3.1 yards per carry, the lowest total of his career. He had some great seasons but his best work is behind him, especially if you consider his age (34 before season starts). Jones might be lucky to find work this season. He is lacking his usual burst and his speed has slipped. He might help in a mentor or deep reserve role, but don't expect a ton of work at this stage of his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Jones has faded fast. All his carries are finally catching up. He really slowed last season, which is a big concern going forward. He'll be hard pressed to match his production from last season, which wasn't very good.

Dec 29 12:43 am

Kansas City Chiefs interim coach Romeo Crennel said Wednesday, Dec. 28, that the team doesn't have a lot of depth in the backfield for Week 17 if RB Jackie Battle (foot) cannot play. 'You might say we're borderline as far as depth goes,' Crennel said. FB Le'Ron McClain might get carries along with RBs Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster. The team also has RB Shaun Draughn on the practice squad, and he might be promoted for added depth.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir said there is will be no limit to how many carries RB Thomas Jones will get in Week 3.
