Zay Jones Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to re-sign wide receiver Zay Jones, according to a source. The Raiders will keep the former Buffalo Bill around for another year after Nelson Agholor departed in free agency to the New England Patriots. Jones will continue to add receiving depth in Las Vegas behind tight end Darren Waller and receivers Henry Ruggs III, newly signed John Brown, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards in 2021. The soon-to-be 26-year-old had 14 receptions on 20 targets for 154 yards and one touchdowns in 16 games (two starts) for the team in 2020. In four NFL seasons between the Bills and Raiders, Jones has only 124 receptions for 1,338 yards and 10 touchdowns, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones was given starter snaps immediately after the team traded for him in the middle of last season. However, Jones will just be fighting to make the final roster this summer after the team drafted Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards at the position. They also added Nelson Agholor in free agency, so Jones will be battling it out with Agholor, Keelan Doss and Marcell Ateman for one or two openings. The 25-year-old caught 20 passes for 147 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games (seven starts) for the Raiders last season. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes in a much deeper wide receiver room in Las Vegas.

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.
