Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) tore his Achilles in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Additionally, the Cardinals will be without top wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. "this week and possibly longer" after he underwent surgery for appendicitis. Arizona's receiving corps will be very thin for quarterback Jacoby Brissett on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Tight end Trey McBride should be a target hog, with Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch stepping up as the top two receiving options in the passing attack. Jones, 30, wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in 2025 in a struggling Cardinals offense. He will finish with just 12 catches for 183 yards and no touchdowns in his eight games played.

The Arizona Cardinals will place wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) on Injured Reserve with an Achilles injury that he suffered in the Week 10 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Jones wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in standard-sized leagues, but now he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games for the Cardinals. The 30-year-old veteran pass-catcher had only 12 catches on 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns through eight games this year in a struggling Cardinals passing game. With Jones out for the foreseeable future, Greg Dortch should see more targets, but he's only worth a waiver-wire pickup for WR depth in deeper leagues. The earliest that Jones will be able to return will be for a Week 15 matchup on Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Houston Texans on the road.
Nov 10, 2025 6:35 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He exited in the second quarter after failing to haul in a pass from Jacoby Brissett. Jones finishes Sunday's game with just the one target and zero receptions. We'll need more information from the team before confirming a recovery timeline for Jones, but it's usually a bad sign when a player is quickly ruled out with an Achilles injury. As we wait for an update, the Cardinals will look to make a dent in a four-possession deficit near the end of the first half. Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch should occupy depth receiver roles behind Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was cleared from the injury report, but it may not matter in terms of whether or not he's startable in most fantasy leagues. While he has looked better in their last two games with Jacoby Brisset under center, Jones is currently the WR95 on the year, and until those last two games, he didn't register a finish above WR61 in half-PPR formats. One thing going for him is that the Dallas Cowboys give up the most fantasy points per game to opposing receiving corps, and Brissett is starting at least one more time. With that being said, Jones is not a trustworthy start for anyone that's not in a very deep league.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 30-year-old was listed as a limited participant on Thursday and Friday before being upgraded to full on Saturday. Jones is coming off his two most productive games of the season before Arizona's Week 8 bye, catching both of his targets for 67 yards in Week 7 against the Packers and hauling in five of eight targets for 79 yards in their Week 6 loss at the Colts. The veteran has benefitted from Jacoby Brissett serving as the starting quarterback, which he is set to do again on Monday night against the Cowboys.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 7, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Jones missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to return to a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to be active this weekend. The 30-year-old wideout had his best showing of the 2025 campaign in last Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, when he caught five of his eight targets from backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett for a season-high 79 yards. The caveat is that top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (head) suffered a concussion early in that game and never returned. Harrison has since cleared the league's concussion protocol and has been cleared to play this Sunday, so Jones' chances of a repeat of his Week 6 are unlikely, if he even plays. If Jones is unable to play, Michael Wilson should serve as the team's WR behind Harrison.
Oct 17, 2025 7:53 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, while Michael Wilson (foot) was listed as limited. The Cardinals suffered multiple injuries to wide receivers in Week 6, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving with a concussion as well. Jones is coming off his best game of the season, catching five of his eight targets for 79 yards. Wilson left early with an injury after catching four of five targets for 44 yards. Their statuses will be monitored throughout the week, and Greg Dortch would be a name to watch if Jones and Wilson are unable to play on Sunday.
Oct 16, 2025 12:40 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones had by far his most productive game of the season in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, recording five catches for 79 yards on eight targets. Jones had hauled in just five catches for 37 yards on seven targets across four games heading into Week 6. The 30-year-old's production against Indianapolis was buoyed by the absence of Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), who exited Week 6 early due to a concussion. With Harrison Jr.'s status for Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers in question, Jones could once again be called upon to play a larger role in his team's offense. Pending Harrison Jr.'s availability, Jones could be a deep-league waiver wire option as a short-term fill-in at the wide receiver position.
Oct 14, 2025 9:20 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Jones, who will catch passes from Jacoby Brissett this week with Kyler Murray (foot) inactive, has played roughly half of the offensive snaps in all four of his games this season. As a result, we have a pretty clear expectation of what his role will look like against Indianapolis. With just five catches for 37 yards this season, Jones remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.
Oct 12, 2025 11:42 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (head) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report on Friday, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Jones will be able to suit up on Sunday versus the visiting Tennessee Titans. The 30-year-old veteran suffered a concussion in Week 3 and was forced to sit out last Thursday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. Now that he's back, he'll resume his role as the Cardinals' No. 3 behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. Arizona's inconsistent passing attack has barely been able to support Harrison as fantasy relevant through four weeks, let alone Wilson and Jones. In three games into his second season with the Cards, Jones has a measly three receptions on four targets for 29 scoreless yards. Continue to ignore him in fantasy in his return.
Oct 3, 2025 8:02 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has ruled out wide receiver Zay Jones (concussion) for Thursday night's divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks to kick off Week 4, according to Dani Sureck of AZCardinals.com. Jones suffered a concussion in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers and was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will be cleared in time to play in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. With Jones out on Thursday, expect to see Greg Dortch more involved in the passing attack behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. However, Dortch still won't be a recommended flex option for fantasy lineups. Jones has had very minimal involvement in the offense through the first three weeks, catching just three of four targets for 29 yards and no touchdowns. He wasn't even targeted in Week 2.
Sep 24, 2025 12:24 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that wide receiver Zay Jones (concussion) is in concussion protocol, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Jones has recorded three catches on four targets for 29 yards so far this season. Arizona has a short week this week as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, which could make it unlikely that Jones will be able to suit up. If he is indeed sidelined, it could mean a slight uptick in targets and playing time for Cardinals wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and Simi Fehoko. Jones should be off fantasy radars regardless of his availability in Week 4.
Sep 23, 2025 11:41 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones is so far off the fantasy radar that he's invisible. The veteran pass-catcher has only received one target in two games and caught it for four yards. He was even out on the field for 51% of the snaps against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2, but didn't receive a single target. At this rate, the only way he would be in a fantasy lineup is if the league gives points for the number of yards run on routes without getting the ball. Managers can leave him on the waiver wire until some sort of big shakeup happens to the Cardinals' lineup.
Sep 19, 2025 10:20 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones didn't play much of a part in the passing game during the Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old caught his only target for four yards despite playing 47% of the snaps. When it comes to pecking order in the passing game, Jones was tied for sixth. Backup tight end Elijah Higgins and James Conner both saw more targets. So, even though their headed for a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2, Jones can either remain on the waiver wire in average-sized leagues, or just be left on the bench.
Sep 13, 2025 10:22 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones hasn't exactly been fantasy-relevant since his best season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022. Outside of that year, he's gone for more than 600 yards once, back in 2018 with the Buffalo Bills. Last year with the Cardinals, Jones appeared in 11 games and received 11 targets, which turned into eight receptions for 84 yards. He seems to be headed for more of the same this season, as the RotoBaller rankers slotted him in at WR113 for this season. For their Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, Jones is projected to get 2.3 fantasy points, which leaves him well off of the fantasy radar.
Sep 6, 2025 11:01 AM EST
The Arizona Cardinals are re-signing wide receiver Zay Jones to a one-year, $4.4 million deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old signed with Arizona last May but was suspended for the team's first five games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Overall, he played in 11 contests and totaled eight receptions for 84 yards. In addition to the Cardinals, Jones has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his eight-year NFL career. He has posted more than 600 receiving yards just once in his career, so it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025.
Mar 11, 2025 1:47 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Michael Wilson (ankle) and Zay Jones (hamstring) have been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson has been limited in practice this week, but appears to go ready to play. Wilson has put together a quiet season outside of a few good weeks. Jones is set to make his season debut this week and will likely take over the No. 3 wideout role. Wilson figures to take a backseat to Jones or the two of them split up the third receiver role. Either way neither of them carry more than low-end flex appeal heading into this game.
Oct 19, 2024 6:55 PM EST
The Arizona Cardinals officially added wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) to their 53-man active roster on Monday. The Cardinals had a roster exemption on Jones for a week after his suspension ended. After releasing receiver Chris Moore last week -- Moore eventually re-signed to the practice squad -- the Cardinals had an open roster spot. Jones was suspended for the first five games of 2024 due to a violation of the league's personal-conduct policy. The 29-year-old injured his hamstring in practice last week and did not suit up for the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers. If he's able to make progress in practice this week, Jones could be in line to make his 2024 debut on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. When fully healthy, Jones will be battling for targets as Arizona's WR3 with Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal behind rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and Michael Wilson. Jones can stay on the waiver wire in standard-sized fantasy leagues for now.
Oct 14, 2024 6:15 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) will not suit up in Week 6 at Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Jones was reinstated earlier this week after being suspended for the first five games of the season. However, the 29-year-old is nursing a hamstring injury and won't make his 2024 debut until at least Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. For now, he belongs on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy leagues. When healthy, Jones will serve as receiver depth for the Cardinals behind rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. He'll be battling for playing time with the likes of Zach Pascal and rookie Xavier Weaver. In just nine games with the Jaguars in 2023, Jones had 34 receptions for 321 yards and two touchdown grabs.
Oct 11, 2024 1:31 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was reinstated from his five-game suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday and he can officially rejoin the team. However, the Cardinals are expected to request that they be given a roster exemption for one or two weeks for Jones after he was suspended under the league's personal-conduct policy. So the 29-year-old is unlikely to play in the upcoming Week 6 contest against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Jones will eventually be competing for the WR3 role in Arizona with Greg Dortch behind rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. The former second-rounder of the Buffalo Bills in 2017 out of East Carolina belongs on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. Jones played in nine games (seven starts) for the Jaguars in 2023 and had a 34-321-2 line for Jacksonville.
