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.

Zay Jones has been released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Jones has been a member of the Jaguars for the past two seasons, but now he will hit the open market as a free agent after Jacksonville released him on Tuesday. The team likely feels more secure about their receiving core after bringing in Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason, and letting the veteran go will also open the door for Parker Washington to get more reps, who flashed some potential in his limited action last year. Jones is a talented player and could find fantasy relevance if he lands with the right team.
