Redskins running back Matt Jones rushed 19 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns, adding three catches on three targets for 23 receiving yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Rams.
Jones' first score was on a 39-yard run in the first quarter that helped set the tone for the Redskins, who did not have to rely on quarterback Kirk Cousins to move the ball. Because of his effectiveness throughout the game, Jones finished with one more rushing attempt than starter Alfred Morris, but he turned them into 64 more yards. Morris rushed for 123 yards in Week 1, so one solid performance for Jones isn't going to make him the starter, but it looks more and more likely that the two could evenly split the touches out of the backfield, which will limit their respective fantasy upsides.
Up next is a quick turnaround to face the Giants on Thursday.
