3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Panthers. Jones was trending in the wrong direction throughout the week -- complete with a walking boot -- but the latest news now confirms that the Bucs' backfield options for Week 18 will be Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell. Jones filled in as the starting back for the past two weeks with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) sidelined, amassing 91 yards on 30 carries. Tampa Bay will be attempting to piece their new-look offense together Sunday with no Jones, Fournette, Chris Godwin (knee), or Antonio Brown in the mix. Neither Vaughn nor Bell jumps off the page as a reliable season-long fantasy asset for managers during championship week.--Jesse Borek
