Inactive for NFC Championship
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Jones and Cam Akers were both elevated from the practice squad to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday. However, it will be the latter that joins George Holani as the team's backup running backs behind Kenneth Walker for Sunday's playoff contest while Jones observes the game in street clothes.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Jones has done very little on offense since the Bears selected him in the third round of the 2022 Draft. As a rookie, the Tennessee product posted 107 yards as a receiver and 103 yards on the ground. However, the receiver took a step back in 2023, when he was limited to 71 yards from scrimmage. Jones is likely to remain a depth option this season, with the 27-year-old likely to make his greatest contribution to the team be on special teams, where he has been a kick returner since joining the team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promoted from practice squad
Jones was promoted from the Seahawks' practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The versatile veteran, who entered the league as a 2022 third-round pick of the Bears and as a wide receiver, made three regular-season appearances in his 2025 Seahawks debut campaign. Jones recorded only seven snaps from scrimmage in that span but stayed busy, logging four carries for 32 yards. George Holani was also activated from injured reserve Friday while fellow practice-squad member Cam Akers also was promoted, so Jones will have plenty of competition for touches behind No. 1 back Kenneth Walker.
