BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars offense finally looked reminiscent of their 2022 version, and that's great news for Zay Jones (knee) and all the other Jaguar receivers. After a 16.50 PPR game in Week 1, Jones has missed the last three games due to a knee injury. Jones was a key part of the passing game last year, including 13 targets in a playoff game versus the Chiefs. He finished last season as WR26 and certainly showed why in Week 1.
The addition of Calvin Ridley has scared some away from Jones, but he spent the majority of his time on the outside last year. Christian Kirk led the team in slot snaps, and that trend continued in week one of this year. When Jones returns, Kirk will continue to operate from the slot while Jones specializes outside. Ridley is definitely going to take some of the work away from Jones, but his usage in a high-powered passing attack makes him a nice bench piece.
Endzone Target Leaders:
• Tyler Lockett: 7 👀
• Tee Higgins: 5
• Mike Evans: 5
• R. Doubs: 5
• Zay Jones: 4
• AJ Brown: 4These receivers have major TD upside...

His recent games with Trevor Lawrence are very telling of their connection, and I would expect Jones to return to fantasy relevancy when he comes back from injury. The ceiling isn't as high as it was a year ago, but operating in an offense with this potential makes Jones a good addition off the bench as a streamer.
