Byron Jones Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said that the team hasn't started contract negotiations with cornerback Byron Jones, who is in the final year of his rookie deal. "We havent started yet and he hasnt approached us. Obviously Byron is the type of player you want to keep around here," Jones said. The Cowboys should get an extension done with Jones, but they're in no rush and will first get to quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper. A first-round pick in 2015, Jones has solidified the Cowboys secondary and has 10 total tackles and one pass defensed in three games this season.

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Byron Jones (hip) will not start in Week 1 against the Giants, according to a source. Jones is recovering from offseason hip surgery, and the Cowboys will ease him into the season opener and monitor his snaps. As a result, Jones obviously isn't an option in IDP formats. Dallas' defense/special teams is still a top-10 fantasy unit against an aging Eli Manning at home in the season opener, though. Jones being on a snap count is good news for Giants receivers, most notably Sterling Shepard.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones (hip) could be cleared to return from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list as early as Monday. Jones will likely be eased back on a limited basis, and he seems on track for Week 1. Jones had 67 total tackles and 14 passes defensed in 2018. He isn't much of a performer on a fantasy level, but his coverage skills aid the Cowboys defensive team.
