Zay Jones Fantasy

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's bad news for rookies Hunter Renfrow and Keelan Doss, who both haven't done much of anything with Williams hurt. Williams is a low-end, touchdown-dependent WR3 if he's active. The only pass-catcher you can trust with any certainty in this offense is tight end Darren Waller. Take a wait-and-see approach with Jones in deeper leagues.

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is a healthy inactive for Week 7 against the Packers. It's a surprise considering Tyrell Williams (foot) is also out, but it appears that Jones just hasn't mastered the offense yet after being acquired from the Bills last week. Also inactive are right tackle Trent Brown (calf) and wide receiver Dwayne Harris (ankle). With both Jones and Williams inactive, the Raiders are thin at the receiver position; expect rookie Hunter Renfrow, Trevor Davis and rookie Keelan Doss to work in three-receiver sets against a solid Green Bay defense. Oakland will lean heavily on running back Josh Jacobs and tight end Darren Waller.

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is taking in his first week of practices with his new team as he looks to put a disappointing tenure with the Buffalo Bills in the rearview mirror. After getting traded out West last week, Jones has studied the playbook intensively in hopes to suit up this Sunday to face the Green Bay Packers. The Raiders will be desperate for pass-catching options this week with Tyrell Williams (foot) injured, so Jones will likely suit up, but his snap count could be limited. The 24-year-old could emerge as a dangerous weapon this season, but he should be left off the fantasy radar in Week 7 until he becomes fully acclimated in this offense.
