Velus Jones Jr. Fantasy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. caught one of his two targets for 28 yards and added a 42-yard rushing touchdown in a 29-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. Jones did an impressive job staying inbounds on his touchdown run, which came on an end-around in the second quarter. The 2022 third-round pick wraps up his rookie season with seven catches for 107 yards and a touchdown while he added another 103 yards and a score on the ground across 12 games. The Bears will certainly be looking for more out of Jones heading into 2023, although wide receiver is a position that the team is likely to address in the offseason.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. caught two passes for a team-high 52 yards in the team's 35-13 loss to the Bills in Week 16. The rookie's season to this point has been nothing short of disaster as ball security issues have been made him mostly unplayable all season. But Jones Jr. was able to flash his speed on some impressive kickoff return runs in this game and then delivered the Bears biggest splash play of the day, springing free for a 44-yard gain. Jones Jr. has been a bust this season but will have a chance to end his season on a high note over the final two weeks of the season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. will be active for the Week 11 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The third-round rookie was a healthy scratch last week. Now, the Bears have decided to make Jones active for what could be a high-scoring affair with the Falcons. The assumption is that Jones will be the primary kicker returner, but also be mixed in the receiving game. Fantasy managers shouldn't bother streaming Jones considering he hasn't done much this season.
