BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars got wide receiver Zay Jones back last week for the first time since Week 5. He didn't have a huge game, but he did manage to catch all four of his targets, finishing with 20 yards.
Jones played 63% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps, putting him third on the team among wide receivers behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. With Jones back in the fold, he immediately stepped back into the No. 3 receiver role.
That's a role that could have some fantasy relevance, though managers should temper expectations. Jones is a solid wideout, but with Ridley and Kirk on the field as well, his ceiling is capped.
The Texans' pass defense has played fairly well this season. In the first meeting of these teams -- which Jones missed -- the Texans held Trevor Lawrence to one touchdown pass and picked him off once as well. No wide receiver for the Jags had more yards than Christian Kirk's 54 in that game, though tight end Evan Engram had 67 yards.
Jones should be viewed as a flex option in 14-team PPR leagues this week. He should at least get a handful of targets, but it's a bit of a mystery when it comes to what he'll do with those targets.
