Zay Jones Signing Back With Cardinals

Tuesday, March 11, 1:47 PM

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.

Jalen Nailor, Brandon Powell Listed As Co-Starters In WR3 Role

Wednesday, August 7, 9:20 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receivers Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell were listed as co-starters in the No. 3 role on the team's first unofficial depth chart. The wideout spot behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison is open following the departure of K.J. Osborn, and the pair of pass-catchers are the prime candidates to fill that gap. Nailor, a sixth-round pick out of Michigan State in 2022, has tallied 12 receptions for 208 yards and one touchdown through his first 21 NFL games. Powell, an undrafted free agent in 2018, has hauled in 76 receptions for 678 yards and three touchdowns in 55 games with the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams, and Vikings. It will be interesting to see who comes out of the camp battle victorious, but neither is likely to have much fantasy value in an offense led by Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy. However, one of the two wideouts could have deep-league value early in the season if Addison is suspended following his misdemeanor DUI charge, especially since tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is likely to miss the start of the regular season.
