Byron Jones Fantasy

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (groin) is expected to play in Week 5 against the 49ers after missing the last two games with a groin injury. Jones practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. It will be a boost for the team's man-to-man-heavy defense that will be taking on a Niners unit that is at full strength with the returns of wide receiver Deebo Samuel and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Miami's secondary has allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game (301.3) through four weeks this season, so San Francisco's passing game could thrive on Sunday, even with the return of Jones. You'd be smart to avoid the Dolphins Defense altogether this week and moving forward.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (Achilles, groin) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Jaguars. Also, safety Clayton Fejedelem (pectoral) is considered doubtful for Week 3. The Dolphins secondary might be even more vulnerable in this one, which is good news for Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II and receivers D.J. Chark (if he plays), rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. and Keelan Cole. Chris Conley would also see more work if Chark is ruled inactive. Expect cornerback Xavien Howard to try and slow down Cole, who has been Jacksonville's best receiver through two games of the season. Stay away from the Dolphins Defense in fantasy.

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that safety Byron Jones (groin) would "have to heal pretty quickly" in order to play on Thursday night against the Jaguars. At this point, Jones is a long shot to play in Week 3, which will leave Miami's secondary a bit more vulnerable against quarterback Gardner Minshew II and company. It's good news for Jacksonville wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. and rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. Jones had one tackle in Week 2 and has four total tackles through two weeks with his new team. You should be ignoring the Dolphins Defense in fantasy.
