Draws two targets in Week 14
Jones played 24 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense and finished with a 13-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Jones finished fourth among Arizona wideouts in snaps, with Marvin Harrison (60) and Michael Wilson (59) finishing comfortably ahead of him and Greg Dortch (27) narrowly beating him out. The 29-year-old had played more snaps than Dortch in both of the previous three games, but he went without a target in all of those contests. With Harrison, Wilson, tight end Trey McBride and running back James Conner all greater priorities in the passing attack, Jones likely won't have an opportunity to see…read more

Nonfactor in Week 7
Jones failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Jones made his season debut Monday after missing the first six games of the campaign, albeit it in a limited role. The veteran wideout played just 11 of the Cardinals' 57 offensive snaps in the contest behind fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (48), Michael Wilson (44) and Greg Dortch (17). Buried on Arizona's depth chart as a member of an inconsistent passing attack, Jones should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins.

Full practice Thursday
Jones (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After missing the first six games of the campaign, five of them due to a suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Jones now has a clear runway to a role in Arizona's offense. With Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Michael Wilson (ankle) both limited to kick off Week 7 prep, Jones is getting valuable reps in team drills, which may translate to the field Monday against the Chargers.

Back on active roster
The Cardinals lifted Jones' (hamstring) one-game roster exemption Monday.
Analysis: The wideout was handed a five-game suspension Aug. 23 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but he'll now join the Cardinals' active roster for the first time this season. The ban actually was lifted last Monday, but Arizona was granted the roster exemption at the same time. He picked up a hamstring injury last Thursday, which was enough for the team to use the exemption and hold him out Sunday at Green Bay. The Cards play next Monday against the Chargers, but the hamstring issue…read more

Won't play this week
Jones (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game at Green Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Reinstated from a five-game suspension at the beginning of the week, Jones now will miss a sixth game while nursing a hamstring injury. The Cardinals have a one-game roster exemption, giving them until Monday to place Jones back on the active roster. It apparently won't happen before Sunday's game, with coach Jonathan Gannon noting Friday that the wide receiver is dealing with discomfort in his hamstring after returning to practice Wednesday.

Limited by hamstring
Jones (suspension) was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Reinstated from his five-game suspension to begin the season on Monday, Jones then had a one-game roster exemption placed on him by the Cardinals, giving the team until Monday, Oct. 14 to bring him back to the active roster. Arizona released WR Chris Moore on Wednesday, thereby opening up an immediate roster spot for Jones, but the latter now is dealing with a health concern of unknown severity. Arizona can clear up any questions about Jones' status for Week 6 on Friday's injury report, but…read more

Logs full practice Wednesday
Jones (suspension) practiced fully Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Since he was reinstated Monday from his five-game suspension to begin the season, Jones has had a one-game roster exemption placed upon him, which gives the Cardinals until next Monday to add him to the active roster. They seemingly plan to do so before then, as a spot on the roster opened up Wednesday with the release of fellow wideout Chris Moore. In the end, Arizona must make a decision by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for Jones to be available Sunday at Green Bay.

Suspension over
Jones' suspension was lifted Monday, but the Cardinals were granted a one-game roster exemption for him, giving the team a deadline of Monday, Oct. 14 to either reinstate him to the active roster or release him, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jones opened the 2024 campaign with a five-game ban for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. With five games behind Arizona, the team can evaluate him in practice this week and bring him back to the active roster at any point in the next week, including in advance of Sunday's contest at Green Bay. Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday he's "excited about Zay adding in here. We'll find the right ways to deploy him, and he's a playmaker for us, can play all three positions, and he can make…read more

Suspension to be lifted
Jones (suspension) is set to be reinstated from the reserve/suspended list Monday, though the Cardinals aren't expected to immediately return him to the 53-man roster, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Arizona is expected to request, and receive, a temporary roster exemption of one or two weeks for Jones, per Balzer. The veteran wide receiver received a five-game suspension back in August for violation of the league's personal conduct policy. Jones will be eligible to suit up Sunday on the road against Green Bay, but it sounds like the Cardinals will wait a week or two for him to get back up to game speed. Once he's deemed ready, Jones figures to compete with Greg Dortch for work alongside…read more

Suspended five games
Jones has been suspended for the first five games of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN, Jones -- whose suspension stems from an arrest Nov. 13 -- will be eligible for reinstatement Oct. 7 following the Cardinals' Week 5 game against the 49ers. As a result, the soonest Jones will be able to see regular-season action is Oct. 13 against the Packers. With Jones slated to be unavailable out of the gate this season, Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch are in line to head the team's WR corps beginning Sept. 8 against the Bills.

Mostly working with backups
Michael Wilson has been working ahead of Jones early in training camp, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Jones still has time to make an impression this summer and potentially challenge Wilson or slot man Greg Dortch for a top-three role at wide receiver. However, the Cardinals might prefer to deploy Jones as an experienced backup who can fill in at multiple receiver spots, in which case any fantasy value would be contingent on Wilson, Dortch or third overall pick Marvin Harrison missing time/getting benched.

Interesting landing spot in Arizona
Jones and the Cardinals agreed to terms on a contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jones' deal is reportedly a one-year contract worth up to $4.25 million, per Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com. The big-bodied veteran was released by Jacksonville after the team's selection of Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he now finds a landing spot in the desert with a clear path to starting in three-wide sets.

Released by Jacksonville
The Jaguars released Jones on Tuesday.
Analysis: The 29-year-old's release comes shortly after Jacksonville's selection of Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Jones played only nine games last season due to a PCL injury, and while he seems to be healthy now, his release saves the Jaguars $4.2 million in cap space. In addition to Thomas, Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis will make up the top three wideouts for Trevor Lawrence, while Jones will work to find a landing spot elsewhere.

No longer facing charges
The Duval County Clerk of Court announced that Jones had a misdemeanor domestic battery charge dismissed Tuesday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Jones was arrested in November, and while the dismissal of legal charges represents a positive outcome for the receiver, he could still face a suspension for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. He has one year remaining on a three-year, $24 million contract with the Jaguars, though there's been speculation that he could be a cap casualty this offseason.

Targeted nine times in finale
Jones caught six of nine targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Jones played the most offensive snaps (66) of any Jaguars pass catcher Sunday in his return from a two-game absence with both knee and hamstring injuries. The veteran wideout's six receptions were a season high, and he concluded the campaign with 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns across nine appearances. The 28-year-old will enter the final season of his three-year deal with Jacksonville in 2024, and his production could improve if he's able to maintain better health and if the…read more

Jones (knee/hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Jones was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he evidently demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from his respective lower-body injuries to make his return Sunday following a two-game absence. The Jaguars haven't indicated whether Jones will be in store for a full workload, but with Christian Kirk (groin) inactive for Week 18 despite being activated from injured reserve, the team won't have much established competition for reps behind No. 1 wideout Calvin Ridley.…read more

He was involved in each of the Jaguars' three practices this week, albeit as a limited participant.

Jones (hamstring/knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Jones has now been listed as a limited participant on six consecutive practice reports, but because he's missed the Jaguars' last two games due to the pair of injuries, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to guarantee his availability for Sunday's contest versus the Titans.

Jones (hamstring/knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: The 28-year-old was considered questionable after working as a limited participant at practice all week, and he'll miss his eighth game of the season due to injuries. Jones would have served as Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout if available, though his upside was likely to be limited with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) previously ruled out.

Analysis: Jones missed Jacksonville's previous game but has a chance to return Sunday for what would be his ninth appearance in 16 opportunities this season.

Not expected to play Week 16
Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Jones (hamstring) is "probably not" going to suit up Sunday versus Tampa Bay, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: Jones, who Pederson recently called week-to-week, looks set to miss at least one contest due to the hamstring injury he sustained in this past Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens. Considering that Jones has already missed back-to-back practices, it wouldn't be surprising to also see him sidelined during Friday's session.

Analysis: Considered head coach Doug Pederson labeled Jones as week-to-week earlier Wednesday, the wideout's absence from practice is hardly a surprise. If Jones is unable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Parker Washington and Jamal Agnew could be in line for larger roles in a Jacksonville offense that could have C.J.

Labeled week-to-week
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Jones (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Jones tweaked his hamstring late during Jacksonville's 23-7 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, and the injury looks like it could result in him missing some time. The wideout had already missed six of the Jaguars' first 14 games of the season due to a knee injury. With Christian Kirk (groin) already on injured reserve, any missed time on Jones' part would provide a path for Parker Washington and Jamal Agnew to handle expanded roles behind Calvin Ridley.

Suffers hamstring injury late
Jones caught five of eight targets for 59 yards before suffering a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens, according to Jaguars' beat reporter John Shipley.
Analysis: Jones did not return to the game, and head coach Doug Pederson commented that the injury "looked bad on the field." This isn't great news for Jones, who was already dealing with a knee injury prior to leaving Sunday's contest. The team will likely release more details in the coming days as Jones receives treatment. For the time being, the wideout should be considered questionable for next Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Jones (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jones has been dealing with the knee issue all season and has played in four straight games. There's little reason to expect this week to be any different, and Jones should be out there Sunday night against Baltimore. With Christian Kirk (groin, IR) sidelined, Jones is being counted on to log heavy snaps alongside Calvin Ridley and rookie Parker Washington.

Minimal production on 14 targets
Jones caught five of 14 targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Jones led Jacksonville in targets but finished fourth on the team in receiving yards. The 28-year-old played 84 percent of the offensive snaps with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve, and Jones should continue to see a heavy snap share moving forward, though the current state of the Jaguars' passing game makes him a bit of a volatile fantasy option.

Catches one pass Week 12
Jones caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win over Houston.
Analysis: The 28-year-old played 71 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps as the No. 3 wideout but finished sixth on the team in targets. Jones hasn't been particularly productive the past two weeks with five catches for 30 yards after missing the previous four games with a knee injury.

Gains clearance for Week 12
Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Jones has missed six of the Jaguars' past eight games due to his knee issue and was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the coaching and training staffs were apparently encouraged enough with his health to give him the green light for Sunday. He'll suit up in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 1 and 2. In Jones' return to the lineup in last week's win over the Titans, he played 43 snaps on offense and finished with four catches for 20 yards on four…read more

Questionable after limited practice
Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Jones put forth a third consecutive limited practice Friday, per Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio. He returned from a five-game absence in Week 11 against Tennessee and played 63 percent of offensive snaps in the 34-14 win. Jones has caught 12 of 22 targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in four appearances this season, and he'll hope to get a chance to add to those totals Sunday.

Jones (knee) remained listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.
Analysis: Jones was also limited Wednesday, so he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Texans without an injury designation. In his return to action Week 11 after missing time with a knee injury, Jones logged a 63 percent snap share in the Jaguars' 34-14 win over the Titans, while catching all four of his targets for 20 yards.

Limited in practice to start week
Jones (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Jones returned from a five-week absence for Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans and caught each of his four targets for 20 yards while playing 63 percent of snaps on offense. He may have to manage his knee issue for the rest of the season, but a key AFC South matchup with Houston this Sunday is one of the games where a more aggressive approach with his playing time could make sense. Either way, Jones probably isn't at his best right now and may not be as much of a priority in the passing game as…read more

Quiet showing in return
Jones caught all four of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Titans.
Analysis: Jones' four targets ranked fourth among Jacksonville's pass catchers, though the four receptions tied for second. The 28-year-old's knee didn't appear to be an issue after missing the previous five games, as he clearly worked as the Jags' No. 3 wideout and played 63 percent of the offensive snaps. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk remain locked in as Jacksonville's top wide receivers, which likely leaves Jones as a volatile fantasy option.

Back for Week 11
Jones (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: The 28-year-old has played in just three games this season and hasn't seen the field since Week 5 due to the knee injury, but he's back for Sunday's divisional matchup versus Tennessee. Even if he remains healthy,it's worth noting Jones was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge Monday, which could affect his availability at some point. In his three games this year he's caught eight of 18 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones suffered a knee injury Week 2 but played through it, and he's made just one appearance (Week 5) since then, missing six games as a result. He has the added issue of Monday's arrest for a misdemeanor domestic battery charge, which may have legal and work-related impacts down the line. After managing limited practices all week, Jones now has a chance to return Sunday, which will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: Jones tested out his injured knee while wearing a brace, but it doesn't sound like his workout went particularly well. Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that injured reserve was a possibility for the wideout, with Jones having played in one of Jacksonville's last six games (Week 5 at Buffalo) prior to a Week 9 bye.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: The news isn't surprising, as head coach Doug Pederson heavily implied earlier Friday that Jones wouldn't be available this weekend. Jones will sit for the fifth time in six games, paving the way for Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks to rotate in as the No. 3 receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Analysis: Jones has appeared in only one of the team's last five games and had to exit that game early after aggravating the knee injury. With the Jaguars on bye Week 9, Jones' next chance to suit up would come Nov. 12 against the 49ers, assuming he sits out Sunday. Jones' status for Sunday's game will be confirmed when the Jaguars release their final Week 8 injury report later Friday, but anyone who had been hoping to deploy the wide receiver in fantasy lineups should start lining up alternatives.

Exits with knee issue
Jones sustained a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bills in London and is questionable to return.
Analysis: Jones had been listed as questionable heading into the day with a knee issue that had sidelined him for Jacksonville's previous two games, but it's unclear if his departure Sunday is an aggravation of the prior health concern or if he's dealing with a new injury. Either way, Jones will presumably be evaluated in the locker room before the Jaguars determine whether he's fit to return to the game for the fourth quarter.

Jones caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Calvin Ridley was the top target for Trevor Lawrence in the Jaguars' opener, but Jones also thrived and highlighted his performance with an 18-yard TD catch late in the second quarter. The 28-year-old wideout is coming off a career-best campaign in 2022, his first season in Jacksonville, and while Ridley's presence could make it tough for Jones to match the 121 targets he saw last year, he still figures to be productive.

Jones did not record an official reception in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, but he teamed up with Trevor Lawrence to complete a two-point attempt in the exhibition win.
Analysis: Jones was active with the starters despite not being targeted, all but confirming his status as the third wideout on the depth chart behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk to begin the year. The 28-year-old posted his best fantasy output after joining the Jaguars last season, but the addition of Ridley this offseason could cut into his targets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Analysis: Jones presumably picked up the injury during Monday's win over the Browns while catching six of nine targets for 67 yards. The 26-year-old has played a significant role in the Raiders' receiving corps since the Week 8 bye, and he may need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend versus Denver.

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.

Raiders-Browns moved to Monday
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.

Does little with seven targets
Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.
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.

Three catches against Washington
Jones caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: He and Bryan Edwards put up nearly identical numbers, but both took a back seat to another 100-yard performance by Hunter Renfrow. 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.

Seven targets in overtime win
Jones caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in the Raiders' 36-33 overtime victory over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.
Analysis: Jones hadn't caught more than one pass in a single contest since Week 1, but his five receptions against the Cowboys were a personal best for his time with the Raiders. Despite the recent addition of DeSean Jackson, Jones continues to see a significant offensive snap share alongside Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow. Meanwhile, tight end Darren Waller (knee) is considered week-to-week, potentially opening up additional target opportunities for the aforementioned receiving corps versus Washington…read more

Targeted twice Sunday
Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Jones' offensive snap share surpassed the 70-percent mark for a third straight week, but he was held without a reception until the Raiders' penultimate drive of the game. 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.

Posts another one-catch performance
Jones caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Jones paced the Raiders' wide receiver corps in offensive snap share for a second straight week, but the ample playing time has translated into just two total receptions for 44 yards on seven targets. The newly acquired DeSean Jackson coughed up the ball after hauling in a 38-yard pass, but he was otherwise relatively uninvolved in his Las Vegas debut. Nonetheless, Jackson's ability to stretch the field figures to earn him more opportunities as he settles into the offense, which probably…read more

Held to one catch
Jones recorded one reception on four targets or 20 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.
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. It was only his third game with multiple targets this season, and the anticipated addition of DeSean Jackson may cut into his ability to continue to see volume moving forward.

Steps into starting role
The Raiders list Jones as a starting receiver along with Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow on the team's updated Week 9 depth chart, Case Keefer of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
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. Jones should be in store for a sizable uptick in snaps if not targets, though he'll still likely remain a lesser priority in the passing game than Renfrow, Edwards and tight…read more

Secures difficult catch in win
Jones caught his only target for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Jones made an impressive 43-yard sideline grab on third and long when the Raiders were trailing by seven points in the first quarter, but he ultimately played less than 15 offensive snaps for a fourth consecutive game. Jones is averaging just one target per game ahead of the team's Week 8 bye.

Jones caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Jones hauled in a pass for a third straight week, but fellow receivers Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow all logged 50-plus offensive snaps apiece, while Jones saw his snap share dip below 20 percent again. Expect a similar lack of involvement for Jones in Week 6 against the Broncos.

Catches game-winning touchdown
Jones caught two passes for 46 yards, including the game-winning 31-yard touchdown in overtime, during Monday's 33-27 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Jones caught both of his targets and finished fifth on the Raiders in receiving yards as Derek Carr threw for 435 yards on Monday Night Football. While the 26-year-old finished fifth in yards, he was tied with Josh Jacobs for the least amount of targets. Jones' fantasy value remains limited for the 2021 campaign.

Paces pass catchers in win
Jones secured all three targets for 57 yards in the Raiders' 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday night.
Analysis: With the Raiders' top wideout quartet of Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow and John Brown not making an appearance on the stat sheet, Jones led the way in both receptions and receiving yardage on the night. The veteran is facing a tall task in his quest to end up any better than the No. 5 receiver, especially with offseason signee Willie Snead and the promising Keelan Doss also on the roster.

The Raiders re-signed Jones on Thursday, Myles Simmons of NBC Pro Football Talk reports.
Analysis: Jones appeared to be on the verge of a potential breakout season after compiling 56 receptions for 652 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bills in 2018. The past two seasons have been underwhelming, however. In a combined 31 games for the Bills (five) and Raiders (26) since the start of 2019, the former East Carolina standout has yielded only 41 catches for 370 yards and one TD.

Jones caught one of two targets for 37 yards during the Raiders' Week 17 finale, finishing up his 2020 campaign with 14 catches (on 19 targets) for 154 yards and one touchdown in 16 games.
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. Jones is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, though the Raiders will be more focused on re-signing Nelson Agholor.

Analysis: Jones saw his involvement in the Raiders' offense evaporate with fellow receiver Henry Ruggs returning from his one-week absence on the reserve/COVID list.

Jones caught one of two targets for nine yards in Thursday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Jones' nine-yard reception came in overtime as the Raiders eventually ended their 6:42 drive with a 23-yard field goal. 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. Hunter Renfrow has entered the league's concussion protocol, however, so Jones could be in line for more work again in Week 16 against the Dolphins.

Another targetless outing
Jones wasn't targeted in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Browns.
Analysis: On a windy day in Cleveland, Derek Carr attempted just 24 passes, his first game this season with fewer than 40 passing attempts. 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. Jones is clearly just a depth wideout at this point, and his role could diminish further once rookie third-rounder Bryan Edwards (ankle) is back in the fold.

Analysis: Jones, who logged a season-high 66 offensive snaps Week 4 against the Bills, saw his role severely reduced Sunday due to Henry Ruggs' (knee) return from a two-game absence. The upcoming bye week lends additional opportunity for receiver Bryan Edwards (ankle/foot) to get healthy as well, which would further downgrade Jones' outlook for a Week 7 tilt against the Buccaneers.

Jones caught four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Jones averaged a mundane 5.3 yards per target, but he earned the start at wide receiver on the outside across from Nelson Agholor after rookies Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) and Bryan Edwards (ankle) were ruled out. Tight end Darren Waller and slot man Hunter Renfrow were the only Raiders to earn more targets than Jones on Sunday, and the latter could be on tap for additional work Week 5 against the Chiefs if Ruggs and Edwards remain sidelined.

Analysis: The Raiders will be without at least one starting wideout Sunday, with Bryan Edwards (ankle) ruled out, and Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) also is listed as doubtful. Jones would stand to start in three-wide sets if Edwards and Ruggs can't go, though both Hunter Renfrow and Nelson Agholor remain ahead of him on the depth chart. Through three games this season, Jones has secured all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

Elevating to bigger role
Jones could play a key role in the Raiders' offense this season, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Tyrell Williams (shoulder) landing on reserve/injured earlier this week, Jones could find himself in a larger role this season. "Could not be more proud of Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones," Raiders GM Mike Mayock said when asked about the team's wideout depth. The Raiders acquired the 2017 second-rounder from the Bills last October and he went on to record 20 receptions for 147 yards across 10 games for the Silver and Black.

Jones may lose his roster spot, ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez reports.
Analysis: Tyrell Williams, Henry Ruggs, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards are locks, presumably leaving Jones to compete with Nelson Agholor and a slew of young players for one or two jobs. 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
