Three catches against Washington Jones caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Impact He and Bryan Edwards put up nearly identical numbers, but both took a back seat to another 100-yard performance by Hunter Renfrow. Jones has seen an uptick in volume the last two weeks, posting an 8-80-0 line on 12 targets as the Raiders scramble to plug the holes in their passing game, and his new role gives him some modest upside in Week 14 against Kansas City.

Seven targets in overtime win Jones caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in the Raiders' 36-33 overtime victory over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.

Impact Jones hadn't caught more than one pass in a single contest since Week 1, but his five receptions against the Cowboys were a personal best in his time with the Raiders. Despite the recent addition of fellow wide receiver DeSean Jackson, Jones continues to see a significant offensive snap share alongside Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow. Meanwhile, tight end Darren Waller (knee) is considered week-to-week, potentially opening up additional target opportunities for the aforementioned receiving corps versus Washington in Week 13.

Targeted twice Sunday Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Jones' offensive snap share surpassed the 70-percent mark for a third straight week, but he was held without a reception until the Raiders' penultimate drive of the game. On a more positive note, each of Jones' last four catches have gone for 20 or more yards. However, Jones could see his opportunities diminish soon if newcomer DeSean Jackson becomes more involved in the offense.

Posts another one-catch performance Jones caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Jones paced the Raiders' wide receiver corps in offensive snap share for a second straight week, but the ample playing time has translated into just two total receptions for 44 yards on seven targets. The newly acquired DeSean Jackson coughed up the ball after hauling in a 38-yard pass, but he was otherwise relatively uninvolved in his Las Vegas debut. Nonetheless, Jackson's ability to stretch the field figures to earn him more opportunities as he settles into the offense, which probably doesn't bode well for Jones' already modest target volume.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held to one catch Jones recorded one reception on four targets or 20 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.

Impact Jones was one of three Raiders pass catchers to rack up four targets, though he wasn't efficient in his performance. His only catch came midway through the third quarter, and it help set up a field goal for the team. It was only his third game with multiple targets this season, and the anticipated addition of DeSean Jackson may cut into his ability to continue to see volume moving forward.

Steps into starting role The Raiders list Jones as a starting receiver along with Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow on the team's updated Week 9 depth chart, Case Keefer of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Renfrow will serve as the Raiders' top option out of the slot, while Jones joins Edwards as a starter at either perimeter spot. Through the Raiders' first seven games, Jones has held a bit role in the passing attack, as he's commanded no more than two targets in any contest while stringing together a 6-115-1 receiving line. Jones should be in store for a sizable uptick in snaps if not targets, though he'll still likely remain a lesser priority in the passing game than Renfrow, Edwards and tight end Darren Waller.

NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Secures difficult catch in win Jones caught his only target for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

Impact Jones made an impressive 43-yard sideline grab on third and long when the Raiders were trailing by seven points in the first quarter, but he ultimately played less than 15 offensive snaps for a fourth consecutive game. Jones is averaging just one target per game ahead of the team's Week 8 bye.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes six-yard grab in loss Jones caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Impact Jones hauled in a pass for a third straight week, but fellow receivers Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow all logged 50-plus offensive snaps apiece, while Jones saw his snap share dip below 20 percent again. Expect a similar lack of involvement for Jones in Week 6 against the Broncos.

OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs eight offensive snaps Jones caught his only target for five yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Jones played less than 10 offensive snaps for the first time this season, but he's now recorded at least one reception in three of four games. His role in the Raiders' offense figures to remain limited against the Bears in Week 5.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes one catch in win Jones caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win against the Dolphins.

Impact Jones continues to out-snap No. 5 receiver Willie Snead, but the former has drawn just three total targets from quarterback Derek Carr through three games. Expect a similar role for Jones in Week 4 against the Chargers as Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow remain healthy.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches game-winning touchdown Jones caught two passes for 46 yards, including the game-winning 31-yard touchdown in overtime, during Monday's 33-27 win over the Ravens.

Impact Jones caught both of his targets and finished fifth on the Raiders in receiving yards as Derek Carr threw for 435 yards on Monday Night Football. While the 26-year-old finished fifth in yards, he was tied with Josh Jacobs for the least amount of targets. Jones' fantasy value remains limited for the 2021 campaign.

Staying with Las Vegas The Raiders re-signed Jones on Thursday, Myles Simmons of NBC Pro Football Talk reports.

Impact Jones appeared to be on the verge of a potential breakout season after compiling 56 receptions for 652 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bills in 2018. The past two seasons have been underwhelming, however. In a combined 31 games for the Bills (five) and Raiders (26) since the start of 2019, the former East Carolina standout has yielded only 41 catches for 370 yards and one TD. Jones slots in as a secondary option within the receiving corps, as Henry Ruggs (concussion), John Brown and Hunter Renfrow occupy the top three spots on the depth chart.

Impact Jones never got too involved in the Raiders' aerial attack during his second season with the team, despite fellow receiver Tyrell Williams (shoulder) spending the year on injured reserve while rookie Henry Ruggs (concussion) also missed multiple contests. Jones is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, though the Raiders will be more focused on re-signing Nelson Agholor.

JANUARY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to six snaps Saturday Jones was not targeted in Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Jones saw his involvement in the Raiders' offense evaporate with fellow receiver Henry Ruggs returning from his one-week absence on the reserve/COVID list. Jones finished the contest with a single-digit snap count and his irrelevance in most fantasy formats should continue Week 17 against the Broncos.

DECEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 53 snaps in elevated role Jones caught one of two targets for nine yards in Thursday's 30-27 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Jones' nine-yard reception came in overtime as the Raiders eventually ended their 6:42 drive with a 23-yard field goal. Despite logging 53 offensive snaps with fellow receiver Henry Ruggs sidelined on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones' minuscule target share continued as the Raiders also rushed 41 times. Hunter Renfrow has entered the league's concussion protocol, however, so Jones could be in line for more work again in Week 16 against the Dolphins.
