Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Taiwan Jones and the Bills agreed to terms on a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Consider Jones solely a depth piece behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, as he plays mostly on special teams. Jones totaled four offensive snaps last season, as opposed to 209 (47%) on special teams.
Taiwan Jones caught his only target for 34 yards on Saturday as the Texans beat the Bills by a 22-19 score in the Wild Card round.
Fantasy Impact
Jones was hardly used all this year with just one catch and nine rushes on the season. But he made a big play in the Wild Card win with his catch. The Texans will face either the Chiefs or the Ravens in the Divisional round and it will be highly unlikely that Jones gets utilized.
Taiwan Jones rushed seven times for 28 yards and added an 11-yard catch on his lone target while also losing a fumble in Thursday's 28-26 preseason opening loss to the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Jones is fighting for a roster spot and has a chance to be #3 on the depth chart. But the 31-year-old veteran can not afford any more fumbles. Jones is not worth drafting in any fantasy leagues.
Taiwan Jones has a knee issue and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
Jones has minimal value in PPR leagues, but you should look for better options for either your playoff lineup or final week to qualify.
Taiwan Jones carried twice for zero yards and caught one pass for six yards before fumbling on a kick return. He was benched for the remainder of the game.
Fantasy Impact
Jones has always had ball security issues. That was one of the reasons the prior regime moved him to cornerback. It's too bad as he is explosive and was carving out a nice niche for himself. After Murray went down with a concussion, it was Marcel Reece who took over the running back duties.
