LB Nick Kwiatkoski vs RB Ronald Jones II
Kwiatkoski’s presence was felt when he returned in week four after missing three games this season. He made a big difference on the defense in the Raiders’ win over the Chiefs as well, helping to hold the NFL’s second-leading rusher Clyde Edwards-Helaire to 40 yards on 10 carries.
Now Kwiatkoski will try to do the same against the league’s 5th leading rusher. Jones has 472 yards this season. His four runs over 20 yards is second only to Nick Chubb (6) among running backs, and his 4.9 yards per carry is second only to Vikings’ Dalvin Cook (5.3) among backs with at least 90 carries.
Spelling Jones is Leonard Fournette who averages 5.1 yards per carry this season, so there will be no rest for Kwiatkoski in this one.
