Zay Jones

Jones had a moderate impact with 34 receptions on 64 targets, gathering 321 yards at an average of 9.4 yards per reception. He was hurt the entire season with three different injuries, so I'd call his 2023 campaign a wash. Playing in 9 games, he earned 61.1 fantasy points with 2 TDs, averaging 6.8 points per game. WR62 in points per game. I'd look more at his final four games as a better representation of what we can expect from a healthy Jones. Without Kirk, Jones averaged 8 fantasy points per game and 17.3 expected points per game. Similar to Calvin Ridley, there was a stark difference between expected and actual production. He was released by the Jaguars after the 2024 NFL Draft but wasn't on the open market for very long, immediately inking with the Arizona Cardinals.

Zay Jones has come to an agreement on a one-year contract with the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Jones was released late last month after spending the last couple of seasons with the Jaguars. The 29-year-old wide receiver will bring seven seasons of NFL experience to the Arizona receiver room. Jones had his best campaign as a pro in 2022, hauling in 82 passes for 823 yards and five scores. He was limited to nine games last season due to multiple nagging injuries and finished the season with 34 grabs for 321 yards.
