AFL FANTASY TAKE
Jones has been a main feature in the midfield for the Saints this season, he was used at 65.6% of team CBA’s in the opening 3 games of the season.
The Saints have multiple options to run through the midfield in Round 5, they include Hunter Clark or even experienced midfielder Dan Hannebery. Jade Gresham may also see a bump in usage at CBA’s.
The Saints have stated the injury for Jones is tightness only, he can be a hold in season long fantasy based on that information.
