Before you leave an angry comment, let’s examine.

Through Week 10 (using averages because Jones missed time):

Player A: 3.7 yards per carry, 1.7 yards after first contact average, 41.8 rushing yards per game, 74.0 PFF Rushing Grade, one touchdown

Player B: 3.7 yards per carry, 1.1 yards after first contact average, 38.5 rushing yards per game, 65.1 PFF Rushing Grade, three touchdowns.

A is Dillon, B is Jones.

Jones is a true fan favorite, and rightfully so. But his best days seem to be behind him. His longest rush this season is 11 yards, and his usual burst hasnt’ been there. Not to mention his hands have taken a noticeable step down: his PFF receiving grade is lower than Josiah Deguara.

Rooting for him, of course, but I think the backfield going to a true 50/50 split is best here. Especially as the weather gets cold, when Dillon is at his best
