Takes questionable tag into weekend Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact After sitting out the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Eagles on account of the injury, Jones returned to action for the team's loss to the Texans in Week 5, playing 79 percent of the snaps on offense while hauling in three of eight targets for 12 yards. Jones doesn't appear to have completely shaken the ankle issue, as he'll take a designation into the weekend after being a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Marvin Jones (hamstring) is also listed as questionable, so Jacksonville's depth at the position could be tested if neither of the Joneses are able to suit up Sunday.

Another limited practice Jones (ankle) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact After being inactive in Week 4 due to an ankle issue, Jones was back in uniform for this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, en route to logging 60 snaps and catching three of his eight targets for 12 yards. After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Jones will probably have to practice fully Friday to avoid a Week 6 injury designation, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that he's suffered any setbacks that would put his availability for this weekend's game against the Colts in danger.

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

Impact 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.

Quiet in loss to Texans Jones secured three of eight targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.

Impact Jones returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 79 percent of offensive snaps, though he wasn't able to do much with his eight targets. Meanwhile, Marvin Jones put up a season-best seven catches for 104 yards on 11 targets, while usual top wideout Christian Kirk was held to one 11-yard catch on three looks. Jones' opportunities remain encouraging, as he's had 19 targets in his last two appearances, but it's been difficult for fantasy managers to predict which of Jacksonville's receivers will produce on a weekly basis.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returning from one-game absence Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans,

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to take on Texans Jones (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston, is expected to be active for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jones' ankle issue kept him from suiting up Week 4, but Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout is expected to be back on the field Sunday. The veteran is coming off three limited practice sessions this week, and head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Jones is "fine." In any case, Jones' status will be made official 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Sunday Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Impact Jones popped up on the injury report last Thursday with an ankle issue, and while he initially was expected to play through it, he eventually was inactive Week 4 at Philadelphia. He was able to maintain limited showings in practice this week, and coach Doug Pederson noted Friday that Jones is "fine." Still, Jones' status won't be confirmed, one way or another, until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again in practice Jones (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact After sitting out the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to Philadelphia, Jones has now had his reps capped in both of Jacksonville's first two practice sessions of Week 5. 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.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

May be good for Week 5 Coach Doug Pederson said Monday about Jones (ankle) "I think he'll be ready to go", Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

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

OCTOBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Week 4 Jones (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 does avoid the injury report leading up to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. E.T. kickoff.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 4 Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lesser role in Week 2 Jones caught three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.

Impact 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.

Jaguars vs. Browns: Zay Jones and Other Winners in Preseason Home Opener Which Jaguars stood out against the Cleveland Browns in last Friday’s preseason home opener?

AUGUST 15, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

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

Impact 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 (hamstring). How the wide receivers are deployed in Jacksonville's next preseason game against the Steelers on Aug. 20 should help define where Jones stands in the pecking order.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Showing out in camp Jones is "having an awesome camp," according to Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville.

Impact 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 seeing a lot of looks downfield, which is perhaps a surprise after he did his best work in shallower areas for Las Vegas last year. Jones did see 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), while he was far more efficient on intermediate passes (14 of 21 for 209 yards) and short throws (21 of 24 for 168), per PFF.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Thursday Jones won't play in the Hall of Fame Game against the Raiders on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The teams chosen to appear in this exhibition rarely play starters or even regulars on both sides of the ball. Along with Jones, Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, Laviska Shenault and Jamal Agnew won't suit up, leaving Laquon Treadwell, Tim Jones, Jeff Cotton, Kevin Austin and Marvin Hall, among others, available to the Jaguars at wide receiver.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted eight times in OT victory Jones caught five of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers.

Impact Jones finished the regular season with 47 receptions for 546 yards and a touchdown on 70 targets in 17 contests, enjoying his best receiving totals since a 2018 campaign with the Bills that included 56 catches and seven scores. The 26-year-old saw his role within the Raiders' aerial attack expand against the Cowboys in Week 12 when he caught more than two passes in a single game for the first time all season, and Jones ultimately averaged 7.7 targets per tilt over the team's final seven games. Jones, who's slated to enter unrestricted free agency in 2022, should remain busy in a wild-card matchup against the Bengals this week.

JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains heavily involved Jones recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 120 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.

Impact Jones maintained a strong role in Raiders' offense, tallying at least five receptions for the fifth time in his last six games. However, 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. Though he hasn't displayed much potential for big performances, Jones has developed rapport with quarterback Derek Carr and remains heavily involved in the gameplan heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Chargers.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.
