  • Bears' Velus Jones: Inactive Sunday
    By RotoWire

    Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday versus the Texans. Jones will spend Week 2 on the sidelines after having three touches in the team's 24-17 win over the Titans in Week 1. He'll now have to wait for his next opportunity to hit the field.

  • Jones rushed twice for 11 yards while catching an eight-yard pass in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. After an impressive preseason in which Jones was effective as a running back, he served in the committee with Khalil Herbert and Travis Homer behind starter D'Andre Swift. Although it appears that Jones may be in line to see snaps on offense, he may need to separate himself from the other backup running backs if he is going to have reliable fantasy value.

  • Jones rushed 13 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 11 yards in the Bears' 34-21 preseason win over the Chiefs on Thursday night. Jones recorded a game-high yardage total on the ground with the help of a 39-yard scoring scamper, seeing his most extensive action as a running back yet this preseason. The converted wide receiver appears to have acclimated nearly seamlessly to the position change, but it's presently difficult to ascertain exactly how Jones may fit in a crowded running back room if he indeed makes the final roster. However, were one of Roschon Johnson or Khalil Herbert to be traded before the start of the regular season, Jones could make for an intriguing change-of-pace back alongside whichever of the two remains and lead back D'Andre Swift.

  • Jones was not targeted but posted 113 kick-return yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday. After being selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, Jones has not become a regular part of Chicago's offense. On the season, he caught four passes for 20 yards to go with eight rushes for 51 yards. Although Jones has two years remaining on his rookie contract, he could be battling for a roster spot in 2024.

  • Jones rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. In addition to his lone rushing attempt, Jones failed to corral his only target. With 11 offensive touches on the season, Jones' low scoring floor and lack of upside will keep him from being a reliable fantasy option unless his role changes.
