Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Tyquan Thornton

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.

Following a four-week stretch that saw him put up nearly 60 yards per game and three scores, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has fallen off the fantasy radar. He's seen two of his lowest snap counts of the season over the past two weeks, while making only one catch. Rashee Rice, in his first game back from a six-game suspension, was targeted nine times on only 19 pass routes, signaling that he has stepped right back into being the focal point of the team's passing offense, and he'll only continue to see the field more as he plays himself back into shape. What's left of the team's pass work opportunities will be divvied up between Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and emerging rookie Brashard Smith, leaving Thornton on the outside looking in. While his speed will always make him a big-play threat, his occasional spikes will be too rare and difficult to predict to give him any fantasy value moving forward.
