Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones has played in just three games this year, but the veteran has two touchdowns in limited action. That said, he has remained on the fantasy radar, especially since he had a big fantasy season last year.
However, on top of his knee injury, he is now in the news headlines for an off-the-field incident, meaning there are now two factors that could keep him out of the Week 11 game against the Tennessee Titans.
Is Jones playing in Week 10? What's his fantasy football outlook? Let's get into it.

Is Zay Jones Playing In Week 11?
Jones (knee) was arrested on Monday night on a misdemeanor domestic-battery charge, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office jail records. According to John Shipley of JaguarReport, a team spokesperson said that the team is aware of the situation and they're still gathering information but have no comment on the matter right now.
Jones hasn't been able to play since Week 5 due to a knee injury, and getting arrested won't help his case if there are any punishments from the team or the league. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned to see if there's anything handed down. He should be on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.
Should I Start Zay Jones Against the Titans?
If Jones surprisingly plays, he should still remain on the waiver wire or bench, even in a favorable matchup with the Titans. Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, but Jones would likely play a limited role behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. Kirk is a must-start, while Ridley is a boom-or-bust play after his recent struggles.
In ultra-deep leagues, Jones can continue to be stashed, but his latest development is not a positive sign for his fantasy outlook in 2023.
