TJ Jones Fantasy Stats

The New York Giants released wide receivers Bennie Fowler and T.J. Jones on Tuesday in order to make room for wide receiver Golden Tate on the active roster. Linebacker Josiah Tauaefa was also signed off the practice squad. Tate will be active for the first time this year in Week 5 against the Vikings after serving his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The G-Men will move forward with Sterling Shepard, Tate, Cody Latimer and rookie Darius Slayton as their top four wideouts.

After being re-signed just before last week's game, New York Giants wide receiver T.J. Jones found himself thrust into the lineup and hauling in a touchdown pass. With Cody Latimer (concussion) not practicing and Sterling Shepard (concussion) still not cleared to play, Jones could have sneaky fantasy value in Week 3. He had established a good rapport with new starting quarterback Daniel Jones in the preseason and has the big-play ability to take advantage of the Bucs defense. Keep an eye on Shepard's status, but if he's unable to go, Jones could be a good option in deep leagues and a great low-cost play in DFS lineups.

New York Giants wide receiver T.J. Jones made a good impression after being signed earlier this week. With Sterling Shepard inactive due to a concussion and starting wide receiver Cody Latimer leaving the game early with a concussion of his own, Jones was forced into the lineup and delivered three catches for 38 yards and a beautiful toe-tapping TD catch in the second half. Jones had a strong preseason and could emerge as an effective deep-league wide receiver in this shallow Giants receiving corps. If Latimer can't go next week, Jones could be a sneaky DFS option.

The New York Giants brought back wide receiver T.J. Jones, who was one of the final cuts at the end of the preseason. While the addition of Jones himself isn't noteworthy for fantasy purposes, his presence might be a sign that the Giants don't expect Sterling Shepard to clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's game. Keep a close eye on this as the week goes on, but if you have a receiver playing on Thursday who you're debating starting over Shepard, it might be smart to go with the sure thing.

New York Giants wide receiverTJ Jonesgot hurt in the fourth quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots. After catching a fourth down pass fromKyle Lauletta, Jones appeared to injure his right foot. If serious, it could be a devastating injury for a wide receiver who seemed to be in a good position to make the final roster. If Jones is hurt, it opens up an opportunity for preseason darlingReggie White Jr.or second-year wide receiverAlonzo Russellto make the final roster. Russell caught five passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns against New England, including the game-winner on the final play of the game. Whoever makes the final roster might end up being an interesting name for deep leagues considering the suspension ofGolden Tate, which leaves the Giants wide receiver corps with a massive question mark behind startersSterling ShepardandCody Latimer.

Detroit Lion wide receiver TJ Jones caught one of three targets for just five yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. Jones was expected to be the direct beneficiary to Bruce Ellington (hamstring) missing the game but that was not the case. Three targets ties his season-high but he still has nothing worthwhile to show for it. In a Week 16 matchup with Minnesota, even if Ellington misses a second-consecutive game, Jones has no business being on your mind for fantasy purposes.

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones has been severely disappointing in the absence of Marvin Jones. Over his last seven games, he has just seven receptions for 93 yards and no scores. However, with Bruce Ellington (hamstring) not practicing so far this week, it means that Jones very well could become the Lions' WR2 this week against the Bills. Just last season, he caught 30 passes for 399 yards, so he has had some hints of success in the offense, but he just hasn't gotten enough looks to be relevant in any format.

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones wasn't able to corral his only target on Sunday against the Cardinals. The goose egg halts Jones' streak of six games where he caught at least one pass. It's odd to see how under utilized the 26-year-old is, seeing as how many of the Lions offensive skill position players have wound up injured recently, including Bruce Ellington who went down in Week 14. If Ellington is forced to miss the Week 15 matchup with the Bills, Jones would be expected to step up into a bigger role.

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones has been a big disappointment since the departure of Golden Tate combined with the injury absence of Marvin Jones. In his last six games, the former Jones has just seven receptions for 93 yards and no touchdowns. Injuries and tough matchups have riddled the Lions, but their offense has been struggling recently. This week, even with a decent matchup, Jones isnt on any fantasy radar.

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones caught his only target for 25 yards on Sunday against the Rams. His reception was one of the longest plays of the day for Detroit but it didnt produce points for the Lions. Even if he had found the end zone, it is almost impossible to trust anyone on Detroit for fantasy except Kenny Golladay and a healthy Kerryon Johnson. The Lions take on the Cardinals in Week 14.
