Zay Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's considered "day-to-day" but doesn't seem like a good bet to play vs. the Colts this weekend.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones is considered "day-to-day" with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Bills, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jones has injured the same knee twice in the last four weeks. He missed two games the first time, so we're tentatively expecting him to miss at least this Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll track his progress throughout the week.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday morning's game vs. the Bills. He's officially questionable to return. Jones missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee injury, although it's unclear if this is related.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is active for this morning's game vs. the Bills. Jones was working ahead of WR Christian Kirk before missing the past two games. But he remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable, so it's unclear how close to 100% Jones is today.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday morning's game vs. the Bills in London. HC Doug Pederson is optimistic that Jones will be able to play, but it doesn't look like he'll be at 100%. That leaves him as a shaky Week 5 fantasy play.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He's tentatively expected back for Sunday morning's game in London vs. the Bills, but we'll monitor Jones' status over the next few days.

The Jaguars expect WR Zay Jones back from his knee injury next week, ESPN's Chris Fowler said during the London game. Jones has yet to practice since hurting his knee back in Week 2. We'll track his status this coming week.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Falcons. He's yet to practice since hurting that knee in Week 2. His absence leaves a handful of targets to go around for WR Calvin Ridley, WR Christian Kirk, and TE Evan Engram.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson called WR Zay Jones (knee) a "long shot" to play vs. the Falcons in London on Sunday morning. WR Christian Kirk got a playing-time boost with Jones out last week, running a route on 89.8% of Jacksonville's pass plays. He's a much safer fantasy play with Jones out.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3 vs. the Texans. His absence should lead to greater opportunity for teammate Christian Kirk to build upon his resurgent 14-catch, 110-receiving-yard performance from last Sunday. See where Kirk lands in our current WR rankings.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Jones' absence would boost the target projections for Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and Evan Engram.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Doug Pederson said. Pederson labeled Jones "day-to-day." He was able to return to last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, so Jones seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Texans this weekend. But he wouldn't be a strong fantasy play at less than 100%.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson labeled WR Zay Jones day-to-day with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Jones is still set for additional testing on the knee. He was able to return to the Week 2 game, so we're tentatively expecting him to be available for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. But we'll update his status when we know more.

The Jags mustered only 9 points in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. That meant a big-time dud from QB Trevor Lawrence, who tallied just 216 passing yards on a 53.6% completion rate. He managed only 5.3 yards per attempt. “We’re better than that. We’re a better team than that … it’s kind of embarrassing,” Lawrence said afterward. Calvin Ridley (2 catches) and Zay Jones (0 catches) played through minor knee injuries in this one, but we’re not expecting any missed time. Expect a Lawrence bounce back in Week 3 vs. Houston.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and is questionable to return. We'll pass along an update on his status when we learn more.

Update: Jones returned to the game.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson is turning over play-calling duties to OC Press Taylor, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "I totally trust Press," Pederson told NFL.com. "We think alike. We've been together for a long time, and he's around Trevor [Lawrence] all the time and knows what Trevor likes." We'd prefer Pederson continue calling plays considering Jacksonville's success last year. But we're ultimately not expecting a significant fantasy impact here. Taylor has worked under Pederson for six NFL seasons.

Per beat writer John Shipley, Jaguars WRs Christian Kirk and Zay Jones “have picked up where they left off [last season].” Kirk and Jones enjoyed career years, finishing at PPR WR12 and WR26, respectively. A healthy Calvin Ridley figures to limit target volume. But the Underdog Fantasy ADPs on Kirk (WR27) and Jones (WR49) put them in a draftable range. See where they sit in our updated WR rankings.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones set a career high in target share in his first Jacksonville season, ranking 33rd among WRs in that category. But his average target depth decreased by nearly 5 yards vs. his final season with the Raiders. That came despite Jones remaining primarily an outside WR. He has spent more than 65% of his pass snaps outside each of the past four years, according to Pro Football Focus. Calvin Ridley leads Jones by 1.0 in career aDOT and seems the more likely downfield threat for 2023. Jones, of course, is coming off the best fantasy season of his career. So this aspect might not matter too much. But the shorter aDOT could hurt further if Ridley's arrival cuts way into Jones' target share. All that said, we have Jones a little ahead of ADP in our 2023 WR rankings.
