News

  • Added by Jaguars

    Jones has agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million deal with the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones' deal with Jacksonville reportedly includes $9.2 million fully guaranteed. At first glance, this looks like a pretty solid value for the team, with the 31-year-old having logged a 76/978/9 stat line for the Lions in 2020. Jones joins a wideout corps that also includes DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault and an offense that's soon expected to include next month's projected No. 1 overall draft pick, QB Trevor Lawrence.

  • Stafford reunion possible

    Jones is expected to have interest in joining the Rams this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: An impending free agent, Jones is from Southern California, and the 30-year-old would presumably prefer to sign with a contender this offseason. Those two factors would make the Rams a logical destination for Jones, especially after the organization traded for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Jones caught passes from Stafford over each of the past five seasons in Detroit and connected with him for nine touchdowns in three of those years.

  • Goes off against Vikings

    Jones caught eight of 11 targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 37-35 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Finishing out the year as the alpha receiver in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), Jones' big day could have been huge had a third touchdown not been overturned by replay. The Vikings' young corners simply had no answer for the strong rapport between Jones and quarterback Matthew Stafford. While missing out on that third touchdown (from 30 yards out) was extra disappointing since it would have gotten Jones to 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns on the year, there's at least…read more

  • Three targets Saturday

    Jones caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Neither Chase Daniel nor David Blough showed any ability to push the ball downfield to Jones after Matthew Stafford (ankle) exited at the end of Detroit's first possession. With the offensive line struggling to protect and Stafford possibly sitting out the season finale against the Vikings, Jones will be fighting an uphill battle as he tries to close out his season on a high note next week.

  • Dominates target share

    Jones corralled 10 of 12 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 46-25 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones has proven himself as a high-floor fantasy asset with Kenny Golladay (hip) sidelined, but during Week 15, the 30-year-old established his second-highest receiving output of the 2020 campaign. An opening-drive TD catch gave Jones his seventh of the season, pulling him to within three of a career high (10) heading into a Week 16 home game against the Buccaneers. Atlanta's top receiver, Calvin Ridley, exploded for 10 catches, 163 yards and a score against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

  • Held in check by Green Bay

    Jones caught four of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Yet again the alpha receiver with Kenny Golladay (hip) shelved, Jones was held in check by a respectable Green Bay secondary, and no Detroit receiver topped 66 yards despite playing from behind most of the game. As Golladay didn't practice in any capacity last Friday, it seems there's a good chance that Jones will continue to operate as the No. 1 wideout in Week 15, but his upside will be severely capped if Matthew Stafford (ribs) is forced to miss time.

  • Huge outing with Golladay shelved

    Jones reeled in eight of 12 targets for 116 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.

    Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (hip) unavailable for a fifth consecutive contest, Jones cruised past his previous season high in receiving yards (96) while notching his sixth score of 2020. He's averaged 5.8 receptions and 70.8 yards per contest over his past five appearances sans Golladay. By contrast, with the Pro Bowl receiver active Weeks 4 through 8, Jones recorded just 2.8 catches per game while enduring two separate outings of less than 10 receiving yards.

  • Can't do much with volume Thursday

    Jones caught six of 12 targets for 48 yards in Thursday's 41-25 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Despite leading Detroit in catches and targets, Jones finished third on the team in receiving yards as he wasn't able to turn his volume into any splash plays. The veteran wideout has piled up 28 targets over the last three games, but his role could shrink in Week 13 if Kenny Golladay (hip) is able to return for a road clash against the stingy Bears defense.

  • Long touchdown negated by penalty

    Jones caught four of six targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: Again serving as the clear No. 1 wideout in the absence of both Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip), Jones was close to having a big day had a 51-yard touchdown not been called back due to an illegal offensive formation penalty. Without a long-range score, Jones had a hard time finding the painted area, as Matthew Stafford's thumb injury played a role in Detroit never reaching the red zone, which is where Jones caught three of his four touchdowns over the previous three games.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones started the week as a non-participant before upgrading to a limited practice Thursday and a full session Friday. He had his best game of the season last week against Washington, and he should be busy again with fellow wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola both ruled out due to hip injuries. Meanwhile, QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) is expected to play, though he's officially listed as questionable on the final injury report.

  • Fits in limited practice

    Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Though Jones was listed as a non-participant Wednesday in the Lions' first practice of the week, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com suggests the wideout's absence was likely rest-related. Jones' return to work a day later supports that notion, and if he can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game in Carolina. With the likes of D'Andre Swift (concussion), Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) all going down as a non-participants in…read more

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Jones and fellow starting wideout Danny Amendola (hip) both missed Wednesday's practice, while Kenny Golladay (hip) and T.J. Hockenson (toe) were limited participants. To make matters worse for Detroit's receiving corps, quarterback Matthew Stafford sat out practice and could be in danger of missing time due to a ligament tear in his thumb. As such, the Lions can scarcely afford for Jones to miss Sunday's game in Carolina.

  • Not seen at practice

    Jones (undisclosed) wasn't present at practice Wednesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The Lions' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with Kenny Golladay (hip) returning to practice Wednesday after missing two straight games and Danny Amendola taking a seat after injuring his hip this past Sunday against Washington. As a result, coach Matt Patricia may just be holding out his other veteran wide receiver, the 30-year-old Jones. Wednesday's injury report will reveal the reason for Jones' absence.

  • Big day against Washington

    Jones caught eight of 10 targets for 96 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-27 victory over Washington.

    Analysis: Jones really hadn't taken advantage of any of Kenny Golladay's (hip) previous three absences this season, but he came through against a Washington defense that previously allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2020. With Golladay yet to return to practice and Danny Amendola (hip) possibly on the shelf as well, it seems like Jones could continue to serve as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game in the short term. Next up is a Week 11 matchup against a floundering Panthers…read more

  • Catches fourth TD of season

    Jones caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Again serving as the de facto No. 1 receiver in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), Jones somehow saw his third-lowest target total of the season. His stat line certainly wasn't helped by Matthew Stafford's (concussion) departure for the locker room, but Jones' light workload is still surprising given how the Vikings' already-weak secondary was also dealing with numerous injuries to cornerbacks. While it's not clear if Golladay has a chance to return Week 10, Jones seems like a risky choice…read more

  • Scores twice in loss

    Jones caught three of seven passes for 39 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Jones scored on a 25-yard crossing route on the opening drive and found the end zone again after Kenny Golladay (hip) left the game. While the veteran was otherwise held in check by a tough Colts defense, Jones could see an increased workload in the near future if Golladay misses time. Next up is a Week 9 matchup against a Vikings defense that has allowed the third-most yards per pass attempt (8.5) with 17 passing touchdowns through seven games in 2020.

  • Offensive involvement reignited

    Jones corralled five of his six targets for 80 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-22 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said this week that he needed to find creative ways to get Jones more involved in the game plan, and during Week 7 that effort was visible. Jones finished one notch behind Kenny Golladay for the team lead in targets, while his 80 receiving yards marked a season high. The 30-year-old totaled just 17 yards over Detroit's preceding two games combined entering Sunday, but evidently there does exist a reality in which Jones and Golladay can cohabitate as…read more

  • Cleared from injury report

    Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones started the week as a non-participant before upgrading to limited participation Thursday and a full session Friday. He's played more than 80 percent of offensive snaps each game this season, but he's averaging only 2.8 catches for 29.2 yards, and he's seen just 10 targets in the three games Kenny Golladay has played. A matchup with the feeble Atlanta defense could help, though Jones was shut down by a similarly vulnerable Jacksonville unit last week.

  • Puts forth limited practice

    Jones (knee) took part in Thursday's practice in a limited fashion.

    Analysis: The activity level marks a step forward for Jones, who didn't take any reps during Wednesday's session. Assuming Jones can repeat his limited participation Friday or upgrade to full work, he should be in good shape to play this weekend in Atlanta. Through five games, Jones has been a disappointment for fantasy managers with only 14 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown across his 24 targets.

  • Misses practice with knee injury

    Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Jones is appearing on the injury report for the first time this season. The veteran wideout will have two more chances to increase his level of activity in practice ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta, so there's seemingly not yet reason for fantasy managers to worry about his availability. Jones has been held below 10 receiving yards in back-to-back games, but if healthy, he'll have a good opportunity to get right against a suspect Falcons secondary.

  • Meager production continues

    Jones caught two of five targets for eight yards during Sunday's 34-16 victory over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Although Jones' biggest catch of the day was wiped out by a questionable offensive penalty, he has officially gone back-to-back games with single-digit receiving yardage despite a pair of inviting matchups against the Saints and Jaguars. Meanwhile, the Lions appeared to make a concerted effort out of their Week 5 bye to give D'Andre Swift more touches. If that notion becomes a legitimate trend in the coming weeks, the 30-year-old Jones might have even more trouble carving out regular touches on…read more

  • Held under 10 yards vs. Saints

    Jones caught one of his two targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's 35-29 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: In a matchup against a Saints secondary that was without Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) for Week 4, Jones was contained to his lowest receiving output since Oct. 7, 2018. With Kenny Golladay back in the lineup the past two weeks, Jones has been held to four total catches (on five targets) for 60 yards. While Golladay nursed a hamstring injury Weeks 1 and 2, Jones attracted 14 combined targets, accumulating eight catches, 78 yards and a touchdown. An Oct. 18…read more

  • Finishes with 51 receiving yards

    Jones caught all three of his targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jones finished fifth on the team in targets while ranking third in both receptions and receiving yards. He made the most of the looks he received, but his reduced role is a direct result of teammate Kenny Golladay making his season debut. Jones still has the ability to break off big plays when given the chance, but his boom-or-bust profile could result in plenty of down weeks as well. With Golladay drawing attention from the Saints defense next Sunday, perhaps Jones will find himself called…read more

    Jones caught four of six targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Jones' four-yard touchdown late in the first quarter gave Detroit a 14-3 lead, but it was all Packers from there. The veteran receiver is off to a pedestrian start with eight catches for 78 yards and a touchdown through two games. Jones will hope to pick up the pace against the Cardinals in Week 3.

    Jones caught four of eight targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Jones had one of the highlights of the game when he ran over Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson in the open field. While fantasy owners were probably hoping for more on a statistical level given the absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring), it's possible Jones has a better chance of being productive when there is someone like Golladay available to take defensive attention away. It's not clear if Golladay will return for Week 2 against Green Bay.

  • Working out with younger teammates

    Jones (ankle) acknowledged on Twitter that he recently hosted Lions rookie Quintez Cephus and free agent signee Victor Bolden for workouts at his residence.

    Analysis: Jones spent the final three games of last season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Considering he was seen planting and cutting on both of his ankles in the video he posted, it seems the 30-year-old is getting back to full health. Jones, in a contract year -- along with Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola -- is also giving the Detroit front office plenty of reason to keep him around -- n spite of his age and contract status -- given his displays of leadership.

  • Out for season

    Jones (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Matt Patricia told Rothstein that Jones injured his ankle on the final possession of the Lions' Week 14 loss at Minnesota. Apparently, the issue is severe enough to keep Jones sidelined for the remainder of the season, which is a fate that has befallen him for the second straight year. Overall, he hauled in 62 of 91 targets for 779 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games in 2019. In Jones' absence, Kenny Golladay figures to be even more prominent in the passing attack, while Danny Amendola…read more

  • Held in check

    Jones hauled in three of seven targets for 38 yards in the team's Week 14 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Jones racked up seven targets but managed to convert fewer than half into receptions. His longest gain of the day came midway through the first quarter, when he hauled in an 18-yard reception down the right sideline. On a positive note, Jones has shown some rapport with third-string quarterback David Blough, racking up 13 targets in two games with Blough under center. Jones will draw an exploitable matchup in Week 15 as the Lions take on the Buccaneers.

    Jones caught three of six targets for 40 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: News that Detroit would be turning to its third-string quarterback understandably made it hard to trust Jones against a tough Chicago team, but the veteran wideout put up a respectable fantasy total nonetheless thanks to his outstanding red-zone prowess. In fact, Thursday's touchdown marked Jones ninth score in 12 games this season and he only needs one more to match his career high of 10 touchdowns from the 2013 campaign with Cincinnati. Combined with his upside to rack up triple-digit…read more

    Jones caught five of 11 targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Jones, like the Lions' offense has a whole, has missed Matthew Stafford (back), but the veteran wide receiver has made the most of playing with backup Jeff Driskel, enjoying a team-high 21 targets in Driskel's three starts. Driskel showed Sunday that he's willing to force the ball to Jones, sometimes to the Lions' advantage -- such as on a 14-yard sideline throw to set up a field goal just before halftime -- and sometimes to the team's detriment, such as on an ill-timed interception in the…read more

  • Catches two TD passes vs. Dallas

    Jones caught four of five targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones tied for the team lead in targets but finished averaging an atypical 10.8 yards per catch. He ruggedly found his way into the end zone from 11 yards out in the third quarter and added a 25-yard score in the fourth, keeping his team in a game it was expected to lose handily. Jones now has seven touchdowns in his last five games and seems able to produce even with Jeff Driskel under center.

  • Not impacted by Stafford's absence

    Jones caught five of six targets for a team-high 77 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: It was encouraging to see Jones post a typical stat line with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford (back) under center. While Jones' ceiling is certainly lower sans Stafford, he should remain a viable fantasy option against the Cowboys in Week 11 regardless of whether the Lions' starting quarterback makes his return.

  • Missing starting QB in Week 10

    Jones will be catching passes from backup quarterback Jeff Driskel in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bears with Matthew Stafford (back) inactive for the contest.

    Analysis: Jones' fantasy outlook, along with that of the rest of his skill-position teammates, naturally takes a sizable hit with Stafford out of action. Driskel does have starting experience, having logged nine games under center with the Bengals last season during which he generated a 6:2 TD:INT and threw for 1,003 yards overall. However, a last-minute spot start against the Bears at Soldier Field figures to be a difficult assignment, even with Chicago's defense not quite as consistent as in seasons…read more

    Analysis: Jones led the team in targets while averaging a healthy 15.8 yards per catch. He broke off a season-long 47-yard gain to help him get there and added a two-yard touchdown reception to give him six scores through eight games in 2019. Jones is on pace for one of the best statistical seasons of his career and will look to keep it up next Sunday against the Bears.
