Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Tyquan Thornton

Friday, October 3, 8:02 PM

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.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton scored a touchdown for the third straight game in Sunday's 37-20 Week 4 win over the visiting Baltimore Ravens as the Chiefs' offense looked the best it has all year against a beleaguered Ravens defense. However, with Xavier Worthy returning from a dislocated shoulder that he suffered in Week 1, Thornton's role declined, and he caught just one of his two targets on the day for an 11-yard touchdown in the second half. The 25-year-old will continue to be a factor in KC's offense moving forward, but there's no denying that Worthy's return puts a pretty big dent in Thornton's fantasy upside as the primary deep threat. Rashee Rice will return in Week 7, too, which will be another big blow to Thornton's fantasy appeal for the rest of the season. We might have already seen the best from him in 2025.
