Fantasy Football
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jones failed to make an impact as a rookie after Chicago selected him in the third round of the 2022 draft. Jones missed the first three games of his career with an injury and proceeded to play only 155 snaps in 12 games. The Tennessee product was actually more effective as a rusher (103 yards on nine carries) than as a receiver (107 yards on 13 targets). While 210 yards on 16 touches is nothing to sneeze at, Jones has suddenly found himself buried on a Chicago depth chart that now includes DJ Moore, Chase Claypool and Darnell Mooney. Jones was an old rookie (he's 26 years old), so while he has terrific speed (4.31 40-yard dash) and may hit for the occasional splash play, consistent fantasy production is a long shot. He doesn't need to be drafted.
