2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jones finished 2021 strong in Las Vegas and earned a three-year, $24 million contract in 2022 in Jacksonville, where he quickly became a favorite of Trevor Lawrence's in the short passing game. Jones' aDOT dropped from 14.0 his final season in Vegas to 8.6 his first year in Jacksonville, with the trade off career highs for targets (121), catches (82) and receiving yards (823). It would've been a bigger year if not for his league-high 13 drops, and his lackluster 6.8 YPT was easily topped by teammates Christian Kirk (133 targets, 8.3 YPT) and Evan Engram (98 targets, 7.8 YPT). Better efficiency seems likely this year, if only because it would be hard to drop that many passes again and third-year QB Trevor Lawrence figures to continue improving. On the other hand, Calvin Ridley is replacing an over-the-hill Marvin Jones at wideout, making Zay unlikely to approach last year's volume. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Continues to provide big plays
Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 83 yards in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Jones was doubled in targets by Christian Kirk, but he still managed to lead the Jaguars in receiving yards. His 37-yard reception early in the fourth quarter was the highlight of his performance, and it also marked Jones' seventh reception of 20 yards or more in his last nine games. Jones enjoyed his best season in the NFL in 2022, and he remains under contract with the Jaguars for the 2023 campaign. However, he is likely to lose some opportunity as the team welcomes Calvin Ridley (suspension) into its receiving corps.

2017
Jones spent the past three years with the Raiders and rebounded with 47 catches for 546 yards and one touchdown last season, which was his first notable production since his second year in the league with the Bills in 2018. He received $14 million guaranteed over a three-year deal with the Jaguars, which should slot him in as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones. QB Trevor Lawrence struggled as a rookie last year, but the Jaguars have made significant additions across the offense. Jones' outlook is significantly improved over past seasons, though any production is far from guaranteed while joining a new offense with an unproven signal-caller.
