Zay Jones - Page 11 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready to take on Denver Jones (toe) was cleared from the injury report Friday and will play in Sunday's game against Denver.

Impact 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.

Upgrades to limited practice Jones (toe) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, George Stoia of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact This is a step in the right direction for Jones, who sat out Wednesday's walkthrough due to this injury. If Jones is able to upgrade to full participation Friday, the starting wide receiver could avoid Friday's injury report altogether ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Sits out Wednesday Jones didn't participate at Wednesday's walkthrough practice due to a toe injury.

Impact 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.

Impact Jones tied Foster Moreau for the team lead in targets and bested Moreau by two receiving yards for the team lead. 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 and had 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches against Washington Jones caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 in his time with the Raiders. Despite the recent addition of fellow wide receiver 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 in Week 13.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted twice Sunday Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another one-catch performance Jones caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.

Impact 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 doesn't bode well for Jones' already modest target volume.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held to one catch Jones recorded one reception on four targets or 20 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 end Darren Waller.

NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Secures difficult catch in win Jones caught his only target for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes six-yard grab in loss Jones caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs eight offensive snaps Jones caught his only target for five yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Jones played less than 10 offensive snaps for the first time this season, but he's now recorded at least one reception in three of four games. His role in the Raiders' offense figures to remain limited against the Bears in Week 5.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes one catch in win Jones caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win against the Dolphins.

Impact Jones continues to out-snap No. 5 receiver Willie Snead, but the former has drawn just three total targets from quarterback Derek Carr through three games. Expect a similar role for Jones in Week 4 against the Chargers as Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow remain healthy.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
