Wide Receiver Rank: #71
Overall: #219
Jones had one big game last season, catching four passes for 132 yards in Week 15. His highest receiving besides that game, though, was just 29 yards. Jones had twice the amount of receptions and yards his rookie season. He should be the No. 3 receiver for the Packers this season and compete to start in another season or two. But Jones has some competition at receiver with Jordy Nelson and Ruvell Martin pushing him for the No. 3 job this season. Jones has decent quickness, but runs good routes and has above-average hands. He also does well in traffic, making the tough catch.

The Packers have a lot of quality options at receiver, which will hurt Jones some weeks, but he still has enough upside to take as a No. 4 or 5 fantasy receiver. Jones should be a bigger factor once Donald Driver is out of the way, which could be in a season or two. |
