News

  • Continues to provide big plays

    Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 83 yards in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones was doubled in targets by Christian Kirk, but he still managed to lead the Jaguars in receiving yards. His 37-yard reception early in the fourth quarter was the highlight of his performance, and it also marked Jones' seventh reception of 20 yards or more in his last nine games. Jones enjoyed his best season in the NFL in 2022, and he remains under contract with the Jaguars for the 2023 campaign. However, he is likely to lose some opportunity as the team welcomes Calvin Ridley (suspension)…read more

  • Catches long touchdown

    Jones recorded eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-30 wild-card round win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Jones had only 17 yards on eight targets in the first half, which was representative of the Jaguars' offensive success. However, that frustration disappeared late in the third quarter when Jones broke free from the Chargers' secondary to catch a 39-yard touchdown. Contrary to past seasons, Jones has emerged as a big-play threat of late by recording six receptions of at least 20 yards over his last eight games.

  • Quiet showing Week 18

    Jones caught four of six targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones had a slow finish to the regular season with just eight receptions for 59 yards across the past three games. Still, it was a successful first year in Jacksonville for the 27-year-old, and he closed the regular season with career highs in receptions (82) and receiving yards (823). He should continue to work as the Jags' No. 2 wideout for the playoffs.

  • Slow day in blowout victory

    Jones caught three passes for 24 yards on five targets against Houston on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was Marvin Jones who saw the most opportunity Sunday (six catches on seven targets), but given that it was a 31-3 blowout in a meaningless contest, it's difficult to make any grand conclusions based on the game's numbers. Zay will likely be counted on for more when the Jaguars attempt to take down Tennessee for the AFC South title in Week 18.

  • Major downturn in Week 16 win

    Jones secured one of four targets for 14 yards and rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Jones' numbers were a major disappointment for fantasy managers counting on him to put together a successful encore to his three-touchdown breakout just four days prior against the Cowboys. However, Trevor Lawrence focused heaviest on tight end Evan Engram in what is typically a thorny matchup for wideouts, and he distributed his passes to eight players overall. Jones' catch total was a season low, so he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 17 road matchup against the Texans a week…read more

  • Erupts for three touchdowns

    Jones recorded six receptions on eight targets for 109 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones entered the game with two touchdowns across 12 games this season, and he more than doubled that total with his effort Sunday. He found the end zone from five, 59 and three yards away, with his final score coming at a crucial time in the fourth quarter. Jones has clearly established himself as a key part of the suddenly potent Jaguars offense, as he has at least seven targets in each of his last five games. His results have been a bit inconsistent in that span, though he's topped 65 yards…read more

  • Records second touchdown

    Jones recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones earned double-digit targets for the third time in his last four games, and he's topped 65 yards on three occasions in that span as well. His performance against Tennessee was highlighted by a 20-yard touchdown reception with just 11 seconds remaining in the first half. Jones otherwise worked in his more typical underneath role, though Trevor Lawrence has regularly looked in his direction of late.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Jones (chest) is officially active for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Jones received the questionable tag after he was a limited participant at practice all week, but he's been cleared to take the field for Sunday's divisional contest. The 27-year-old caught only two of seven targets for 16 yards Week 13 in Detroit, which ended a three-game stretch during which he had at least five catches and 40 receiving yards.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Jones (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones played through the same chest injury in Jacksonville's Week 13 game, though he caught only two of seven targets for 16 yards in the blowout loss to the Lions. After a trio of limited practice sessions, Jones seems more likely than not to suit up against a beatable Titans secondary, even if he still isn't 100 percent healthy.

  • Reps capped Thursday

    Jones (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Though Jones' reps are being capped for the second day in a row, head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the chest injury is anything that seriously threatens the receiver's availability for Sunday's game against the Titans. Jones was listed as questionable with the same chest issue ahead of the Jaguars' Week 13 game against the Lions, but he proceeded to suit up and finished with two catches for 16 yards on seven targets over his 45 snaps on offense in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss.

    Jones (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jones was limited at practice last week as well by a chest issue before being deemed questionable for this past Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Lions. The wideout ended up suiting up for the contest and caught two of his seven targets for 16 yards while taking the field for 46 of the Jaguars' 56 snaps on offense. With no reported setbacks in the Week 13 contest, Jones' listed limitations Wednesday might have been maintenance-related. So long as he upgrades to full participation by Friday, he'll…read more

  • Disappoints with two grabs

    Jones brought in two of seven targets for 16 yards in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Fresh off a prolific 11-catch, 145-yard performance against the Ravens in Week 12, Jones significantly disappointed in what was believed to be a favorable game environment coming in. Jones still tied for the second-most targets on the afternoon for the Jaguars, however, which is certainly important when evaluating his overall fantasy outlook beyond just Sunday's game. Jones' first opportunity to bounce back comes in a Week 14 road divisional clash against the Titans.

  • Cleared for Week 13

    Jones (chest) is officially active for Sunday's game at Detroit.

    Analysis: Jones was limited at practice all week due to the chest issue but will play Sunday after he was considered questionable. The 27-year-old is coming off the best game of his career with 11 catches for 145 yards versus Baltimore in Week 12, and he could be in line for another productive game Sunday against Detroit's 29th-ranked pass defense.

  • Questionable for Week 13

    Jones (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Detroit.

    Analysis: In the wake of his 11-145-0 outburst on 14 targets this past Sunday versus the Ravens, Jones has been dealing with a chest injury that left him limited at all three Week 13 practices. He'll thus carry a designation into the weekend, but Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff means there will be clarity surrounding his status before the early slate of games begins. If Jones is able to suit up, another productive performance could be in store against the Lions' 29th-ranked pass defense (259.9 yards per…read more

    Jones (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Jones has had his reps capped in both of the Jaguars' first two Week 13 practices, but head coach Doug Pederson hasn't provided any indication that the receiver's status for Sunday's game in Detroit is in any jeopardy. The wideout delivered his best outing of the season in the Jaguars' come-from-behind win over the Ravens last weekend, finishing with 11 catches for 145 yards on 14 targets.

  • Limited with chest injury

    Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a chest injury, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: His ability to practice at all to begin Week 13 prep likely puts Jones in good shape to play this Sunday in Detroit, coming off a career-best performance in which he recorded 11 catches for 145 yards and a game-winning two-point conversion against the Ravens. While a repeat performance isn't likely, Jones has four games with double-digit targets this season and will be playing in a dome against a shaky defense this weekend, assuming the chest injury isn't serious.

  • Erupts against Ravens

    Jones recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 145 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Jones set a career high in yardage in a single game with Sunday's performance, powered by three receptions of 20 yards or more. He's now seen double-digit targets in consecutive games and in three of his last five matchups, though he had previously failed to top 68 receiving yards in that span. It's likely that Jones will revert to a more underneath role moving forward, though he has established himself as a key part of the Jaguars' offense.

    Jones brought in eight of 10 targets for 68 yards in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jones checked in second across the board to Christian Kirk in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Jaguars. The veteran possession receiver has been a trusted target of Trevor Lawrence's all season, now having logged double-digit looks on three occasions and at least eight in five games overall. Jones' fantasy value is capped somewhat by his short-area role, but he'll continue to offer plenty of PPR value in a Week 12 home matchup against the Ravens following the…read more

  • Catches all five targets

    Jones recorded five receptions on five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jones remained in his typical role behind Christian Kirk in priority for targets. However, he made the most of his opportunities, and the highlight of his day came on a 22-yard reception early in the second quarter to push the Jaguars into Raiders territory. Jones hasn't been spectacular this season, but he does have at least 40 receiving yards in five of his seven games.

  • Three catches in loss

    Jones caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and rushed once for seven yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos in London.

    Analysis: Jones finished tied for third in receptions and third in receiving yards Sunday, but QB Trevor Lawrence struggled with only 133 yards through the air. Christian Kirk remains the top option in the passing game with Jones serving as the No. 2 wideout, but Lawrence's inconsistency leaves Jones as an unreliable option for fantasy managers.

  • Ties for team lead in targets

    Jones caught four of 10 targets for 54 yards and had one carry for 14 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old tied for the team lead in targets but finished fourth in yardage as QB Trevor Lawrence completed only 51 percent of his passes. Jones has at least three receptions in all six games he's played in this season, and in total this year he has 31 catches for 281 yards and one touchdown.

    Jones (ankle) brought in all five targets for 42 yards in the Jaguars' 34-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jones was able to play through his ankle injury for the second straight week and ended up leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. The veteran continued to operate in his trademark short-area role, and Jones' next opportunity to build on his solid start to the season comes in a Week 7 home matchup versus the Giants.

    Analysis: After sitting out Week 4 with the ankle injury, Jones returned to action for last week's loss to the Texans and recorded three catches for 12 yards on eight targets while playing 79 percent of the snaps on offense. The ankle injury is still seemingly nagging him -- he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday before being listed as questionable -- but not enough to keep him off the field.

    The Jaguars are optimistic that Jones (ankle), who is officially questionable, will play Sunday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones has been dealing with the ankle issue for a few weeks, missing Jacksonville's Week 4 game as a result before returning in Week 5. He logged three limited practices during the week, suggesting he has a reasonable chance of suiting up. With Marvin Jones (hamstring) already ruled out, Jones could see an increase in targets if he is able to play.

    Analysis: Jones, who was inactive in Week 4 due to an ankle issue, returned to action in this past Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans. In the process, the wideout was on the field for 60 of a possible 75 snaps on offense, while catching three of his eight targets for 12 yards. Given that there's been no reported setbacks with his ankle, Jones' limitations Wednesday were quite possibly simply a case of the team managing his practice reps ahead of this Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

    Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans,

    Analysis: As anticipated, Jones will return from a one-game absence after he turned in a trio of limited practices this week before taking a questionable designation into Sunday. Though the Jaguars could end up opting for a run-heavier game plan as home favorites against the winless Texans, Jones should still see a decent amount of volume as the No. 2 option in the passing game after Christian Kirk. Through his first three games, Jones averaged eight targets per contest.

The veteran is coming off three limited practice sessions this week, and head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Jones is "fine."

He was able to maintain limited showings in practice this week, and coach Doug Pederson noted Friday that Jones is "fine."

According to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, head coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism that Jones will be ready to play Sunday against the Texans, but the wideout will likely need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to head into the weekend without an injury designation.

    Jones (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, head coach Doug Pederson previously suggested that he thought Jones will be "ready to go" this weekend against the Texans. The wideout's ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- supports that notion. In Jones' absence in this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Christian Kirk (two catches for 60 yards) and Jamal Agnew (four catches for 50 yards) paced the Jaguars' pass-catching corps.

    Analysis: Jones was expected to suit up for Sunday's loss to the Eagles but ultimately was ruled out before kickoff, to the detriment of Jacksonville's offense. Pederson said more information about Jones' status will come later in the week, likely via monitoring him at practice, but it looks like the No. 2 wideout has a real chance of returning Week 5.

    Jones (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old was listed as questionable and was expected to suit up Sunday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, but the wideout will instead be sidelined in Philadelphia. Jones hauled in a career-high 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown last week versus the Chargers, and Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew should be more involved in the passing game versus the Eagles in his absence.

    Jones (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones is officially listed as questionable for Week 4, but it looks like Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout is trending toward availability. Coming off a 10-83-1 performance against the Chargers in Week 3, Jones will once again have a solid opportunity to produce behind Christian Kirk as long as he avoids the inactive list leading up to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. E.T. kickoff.

    Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Jones is coming off a 10-catch performance in Jacksonville's Week 3 win over the Chargers, so he'll be sorely missed if he's unable to play Week 4. Marvin Jones would become Jacksonville's clear-cut No. 2 wide receiver behind Christian Kirk if Zay Jones doesn't play, while more targets could go to tight end Evan Engram or gadget guy Jamal Agnew.

  • Added to injury report

    Jones didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Jones practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to Jacksonville's injury report Thursday is notable. In this past Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers, Jones caught 10 of his team-high 11 targets for 85 yards and a TD.

  • Career-high 10 catches Sunday

    Jones caught 10 of 11 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: The journeyman receiver seems to have found a home with his fourth NFL club. Jones set a new career high with 10 grabs, and his 14-yard score in the second quarter marked the first of three TD passes by Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars passing game will likely need to be sharp again in Week 4 as it tries to keep pace with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

  • Lesser role in Week 2

    Jones caught three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old played similar snaps to Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones in the season opener but was the clear No. 3 wideout Sunday with Jacksonville leading by multiple scores for most of the game. Jones has caught nine of 13 targets for 88 yards through two games, and the game script could be more favorable Week 3 against the Chargers.

  • Nine targets in loss

    Jones hauled in six of nine targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: The chemistry Jones and Trevor Lawrence developed in the preseason carried over into Week 1. The other Jones in this receiving unit, Marvin Jones, finished third in targets (four receptions for 38 yards). Zay could develop more fantasy value this season if he can leapfrog his veteran teammate and become the second receiving option behind Christian Kirk (six receptions for 117 yards). Jones and the Jaguars will take on the Colts next Sunday.

    Jones caught two of four targets for 47 yards in Friday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence connected with Jones on a 32-yard deep ball on Jacksonville's first offensive play of the game, and they linked up again for a 15-yard gain later in the first quarter. Jones finished as Jacksonville's leading receiver in the game, and this performance coupled with what has reportedly been a productive training camp has Jones in the hunt for a starting job in a receiving corps that also includes Christian Kirk (ankle), Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault…read more

  • Showing out in camp

    Jones is "having an awesome camp," Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.

    Analysis: Jones, Marvin Jones and Christian Kirk have seen most of the first-team snaps, with Laquon Treadwell mixing in as the top backup on the perimeter. There have been multiple reports about Zay Jones drawing plenty of looks downfield, which is perhaps a surprise after he did his best work in shallower areas for Las Vegas in 2021. Jones received his share of deep looks with the Raiders, but he caught only four of 16 targets 20-plus yards downfield (with four others being intercepted). Meanwhile,…read more

    The Jaguars and Jones agreed to a three-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: This marks the second wide receiver to ink a deal with Jacksonville to open free agency after Christian Kirk landed a massive four-year deal earlier Monday. A second-round pick of the Bills back in 2017, Jones joins the third organization of his career, coming off a 47-546-1 line on 70 targets with the Raiders last season. He'll likely vie with Laviska Shenault for the No. 3 WR spot behind Kirk and Marvin Jones.

  • Scores in playoff loss

    Jones caught five passes for 61 yards and one touchdown on eight targets against Cincinnati on Saturday.

    Analysis: It's another encouraging entry in what's been an impressive breakout season for Jones. After he played sparingly in the first seven weeks, the Raiders upped Jones' workload and usage following the Week 8 bye, from which point he saw 71 targets in the next 11 games, including this playoff game. Jones is a 2017 second-round pick who dominated at the collegiate level and has 4.45 speed, so the way he played in 2021 is more in line with what his career expectations were all along.

He also displayed some big-play ability that was lacking in past performances, recording long gains of 42, 26 and 13 yards to surpass 100 receiving yards in a game for the first time in his career.

    Jones caught six of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: He was Derek Carr's favorite option on the afternoon, leading the Raiders in receptions and targets, although Foster Moreau led the team in yards and Hunter Renfrow hauled in Carr's only TD. Jones has put together a 25-222-0 line on 36 targets over the last five games, giving him some deep-league PPR value heading into a Week 17 clash with the Colts.

    Analysis: Jones is coming off season highs for catches (six), yards (67) and targets (nine) in last week's 16-14 win over Cleveland. He hasn't scored a TD since Week 1 and hasn't come close to a 100-yard game, but he does have four in a row with five or more targets and three or more catches.

    Analysis: Jones presumably picked up the injury during Monday's win over the Browns while catching six of nine targets for 67 yards.

  • Sixth grab sets up winning FG

    Jones caught six of nine targets for 67 yards in Monday's 16-14 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jones tied Foster Moreau for the team lead in targets and bested Moreau by two receiving yards to pace the Raiders. His most important catch was his last one, as Jones' 15-yard snag set up Daniel Carlson's game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired. Jones has stepped up recently for the receiver-starved Raiders -- he has 19 catches in his last four games, after having just nine all season before this strong stretch.

    Jones and the Raiders will no longer play the Browns on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the Week 15 game is played Monday as planned, Jones and Las Vegas will face a quick turnaround for the Week 16 contest versus the Broncos, which is still expected to be played Sunday, Dec. 26 as scheduled.

    Analysis: Jones finished second on the team with seven targets, behind only Hunter Renfrow. Despite converting a high rate of his targets into receptions, Jones was limited to only 3.6 yards per target to turn in a disappointing performance. Jones has now seen at least five targets in three consecutive games, though he's topped 50 yards only once in that span and has not found the end zone since Week 1.

Jones has seen an uptick in volume the last two weeks, posting an 8-80-0 line on 12 targets as the Raiders scramble to plug the holes in their passing game, and his new role gives him some modest upside in Week 14 against Kansas City.

On a more positive note, each of Jones' last four catches have gone for 20 or more yards. However, Jones could see his opportunities diminish soon if newcomer DeSean Jackson becomes more involved in the offense.

    Analysis: Jones was one of three Raiders pass catchers to rack up four targets, though he wasn't efficient in his performance. His only catch came midway through the third quarter, and it help set up a field goal for the team.

    Analysis: Renfrow will serve as the Raiders' top option out of the slot, while Jones joins Edwards as a starter at either perimeter spot. Through the Raiders' first seven games, Jones has held a bit role in the passing attack, as he's commanded no more than two targets in any contest while stringing together a 6-115-1 receiving line.

    Analysis: Jones never got too involved in the Raiders' aerial attack during his second season with the team, despite fellow receiver Tyrell Williams (shoulder) spending the year on injured reserve while rookie Henry Ruggs (concussion) also missed multiple contests.

Despite logging 53 offensive snaps with fellow receiver Henry Ruggs sidelined on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones' minuscule target share continued as the Raiders also rushed 41 times.

He still managed to disperse the ball to nine different players, but Jones was left out of the mix and played just 10 offensive snaps.

Early reports seem to favor Agholor as the veteran pick, and it would be cheaper for the Raiders to keep a late-round pick or an undrafted player over Jones for the sixth and final spot (if one even exists). The 2017 second-round pick never made any noise after he was traded from Buffalo to Oakland last October, with…read more

  • Lack of volume continues

    Jones caught two passes on as many targets for 21 yards in the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Jones collected just 20 receptions for 147 yards on 27 targets in his 10-game stint with the Raiders after a midseason transition from Buffalo, despite logging a bountiful 466 offensive snaps. Without much competition in the room as it stands, Jones will look to secure the No. 3 role at wide receiver behind Tyrell Williams (foot) and Hunter Renfrow again in 2020 with one year remaining on his current contract.

  • Contained to 14 yards

    Jones caught three passes on as many targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Jones logged less than 40 offensive snaps for the first time since Week 10 as the return of fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) somewhat cut into the former's playing time. Renfrow was exponentially more productive with seven receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown, while Jones was limited to less than 15 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive game.

  • Musters up five yards

    Jones caught one of two targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Hunter Renfrow (ribs) was inactive, but Jones was targeted on just two of Derek Carr's 36 passes. Jones -- a 2017 second-round pick -- has yet to surpass 33 receiving yards in a game or score a touchdown this season. With Renfrow expected back this Sunday against the Chargers, Jones isn't a dependable fantasy option.

  • Disappoints in Week 14

    Jones caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones once again failed to capitalize on significant playing time with Hunter Renfrow (ribs) still sidelined, and the former didn't even draw the start at the No. 2 receiver spot across from Tyrell Williams, as recent practice squad promotion Rico Gafford earned the honor. Jones has not caught more than three passes in a single contest this season, and Renfrow is trending toward a Week 15 return against the Jaguars.

  • Held to two catches in loss

    Jones caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones saw no more than three targets for the fourth consecutive contest, despite what should have been a pass-happy game flow for the Raiders given they fell behind 21-0 heading into the half. Jones' snap count -- he saw action on 70 percent of the offensive plays in Week 13 -- figures to remain favorable in Week 14 against the Titans with Hunter Renfrow likely still sidelined by a rib injury, but the former hasn't flashed much upside to this point.

  • Target share may increase

    Jones caught two passes on as many targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Jones has averaged a healthy 45.6 offensive snaps played per game since joining the Raiders, but he's failed to see more than three targets in a single contest. That all could change moving forward, however, as No. 2 receiver Hunter Renfrow is looking at an extended absence after suffering a broken rib and punctured lung during Sunday's blowout loss. While Jones becomes a candidate for increased involvement in the aerial attack, the Raiders have an intriguing matchup against a beatable Chiefs…read more

  • Tallies three catches in win

    Jones caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Jones' playing time isn't much of a concern with at least 39 offensive snaps logged throughout the Raiders' past three games, but he's failed to eclipse 27 receiving yards in a single contest since joining the Silver and Black. Expect the offense to lean on rookie running back Josh Jacobs again in Week 12 against the Jets.

  • Collects just one reception Thursday

    Jones caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: All three of the Raiders' active running backs caught more passes than Jones on Thursday night, so it wasn't exactly a memorable performance for the former Buffalo Bill. Jones will look to bounce back against a struggling Bengals squad in Week 11, and there's a chance they'll still be without starting cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (knee).

  • Totals 24 yards in win

    Jones caught three of his four targets for 21 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Jones saw 66 snaps on offense -- three times more than in his Raiders debut a week prior -- but didn't see many more opportunities, as Hunter Renfrow starred in the passing game. The 24-year-old likely will remain a fringe option in a Week 10 matchup with the Chargers.
