ZAY JONES NEWS

No catches Week 13 Jones failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Impact The 25-year-old's only target came during the third quarter as he played seven offensive snaps. Nelson Agholor, Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow are clearly established as the Raiders' three top wideouts, and Bryan Edwards is also ahead of Jones on the depth chart.

Hauls in one pass Sunday Jones caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Jones has been dealt one target in three consecutive games, but even a blowout defeat failed to boost his involvement in the Raiders' offense. A road matchup against the winless Jets awaits, but Jones' competition for playing time remains healthy.

Notches 18-yard reception in loss Jones caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Jones remains at the bottom of the pecking order at wide receiver for the Raiders as he matched his season low of five offensive snaps on Sunday Night Football. If he's able to earn more playing time in Week 12, a favorable matchup against the Falcons awaits.

Adds one reception in win Jones caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 37-12 win over the Broncos.

Impact Jones has now logged 10 or less offensive snaps in four consecutive games since the Raiders' Week 6 bye. Fellow receiver Bryan Edwards' recent return from injury doesn't help Jones' case for playing time moving forward, while starters Nelson Agholor, Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow remain at full strength as well.

Another targetless outing Jones wasn't targeted in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Browns.

Impact On a windy day in Cleveland, Derek Carr attempted just 24 passes, his first game this season with fewer than 40 passing attempts. He still managed to disperse the ball to nine different players, but Jones was left out of the mix and played just 10 offensive snaps. Jones is clearly just a depth wideout at this point, and his role could diminish further once rookie third-rounder Bryan Edwards (ankle) is back in the fold.

Not targeted against Tampa Bay Jones played 10 offensive snaps but was not targeted in Sunday's 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Jones was relatively uninvolved despite fellow receiver Bryan Edwards' (ankle/foot) continued absence, while Nelson Agholor broke out for 107 yards and a touchdown on five catches across from Henry Ruggs. Hunter Renfrow also saw six targets as Jones' role figures to remain limited Week 8 at Cleveland.

Limited upon Ruggs' return Jones caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Jones, who logged a season-high 66 offensive snaps Week 4 against the Bills, saw his role severely reduced Sunday due to Henry Ruggs' (knee) return from a two-game absence. The upcoming bye week lends additional opportunity for receiver Bryan Edwards (ankle/foot) to get healthy as well, which would further downgrade Jones' outlook for a Week 7 tilt against the Buccaneers.

OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 66 snaps in loss Jones caught four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

Impact Jones averaged a mundane 5.3 yards per target, but he earned the start at wide receiver on the outside across from Nelson Agholor after rookies Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) and Bryan Edwards (ankle) were ruled out. Tight end Darren Waller and slot man Hunter Renfrow were the only Raiders to earn more targets than Jones on Sunday, and the latter could be on tap for additional work in Week 5 against the Chiefs if Ruggs and Edwards remain sidelined.

OCTOBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Increased opportunity on tap Jones appears to be in line for an increased workload during Sunday's game agianst the Bills, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Raiders will be without at least one starting wideout Sunday, with Bryan Edwards (ankle) ruled out, and Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) also is listed as doubtful. Jones would stand to start in three-wide sets if Edwards and Ruggs can't go, though both Hunter Renfrow and Nelson Agholor remain ahead of him on the depth chart. Through three games this season, Jones has secured all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Catches all three targets in New England Jones caught three passes on as many targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Jones benefited from the absence of rookie Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) on Sunday, but the former could see even more work in Week 4 against the Bills if fellow receiver Bryan Edwards were to miss time with the ankle injury he suffered in New England. Through the Raiders' first three contests of the season, Jones has managed to catch all four of his targets for 47 yards and a score.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

First TD since 2018 Jones caught a 15-yard touchdown pass in Monday's 34-24 win over the Saints.

Impact Jones only has one target through two games, but he made the most of it with a crucial touchdown toward the end of the second quarter. However, he played just 18 of 80 offensive snaps (22 percent), so he doesn't have dependable fantasy value.

Elevating to bigger role Jones could play a key role in the Raiders' offense this season, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Tyrell Williams (shoulder) landing on reserve/injured earlier this week, Jones could find himself in a larger role this season. "Could not be more proud of Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones," Raiders GM Mike Mayock said when asked about the team's wideout depth. The Raiders acquired the 2017 second-rounder from the Bills last October and he went on to record 20 receptions for 147 yards across 10 games for the Silver and Black.

Lands on roster bubble Jones may lose his roster spot, ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Impact Tyrell Williams, Henry Ruggs, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards are locks, presumably leaving Jones to compete with Nelson Agholor and a slew of young players for one or two jobs. Early reports seem to favor Agholor as the veteran pick, and it would be cheaper for the Raiders to keep a late-round pick or an undrafted player over Jones for the sixth and final spot (if one even exists). The 2017 second-round pick never made any noise after he was traded from Buffalo to Oakland last October, with his 461 offensive snaps producing 20 receptions for only 147 yards. According to Pro Football Focus, Jones' mark of 0.58 yards per route was tied for last among the 117 wide receivers that drew 25 or more targets in 2019.
