Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Jimmy Horn Jr.

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.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. has played in four of eight games this season, catching five of his eight targets for 65 yards and handling six carries for 37 yards. After being a healthy scratch for the first month of the season, the sixth rounder out of Colorado played at least 20% of the snaps with multiple touches in the first three weeks when he was playing. His snap share dipped to just 13.1% in their Week 8 blowout loss to the Bills, but they still made an emphasis to get the ball in his hands with two rush attempts and a target. The Panthers need another consistent pass-catching threat outside of fellow rookie Tetairoa McMillan. Second-year wideouts Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette have had moments, but Horn has 4.4 speed and shiftiness that make him a tough cover. He could be a rookie who emerges over the second half of the season.
