Jones is coming off a pedestrian three-catch, 29-yard performance in Sunday’s comeback win over the Green Bay Packers. In games this year in which Jones has gained less than 100 yards, he has followed it up by topping that mark the very next contest.
That is good news for fantasy owners as Jones gets set to face a Bucs secondary that has struggled mightily this season. He enters Week 9 ranked second in the NFL in receiving yards (859), fifth in yards after contact (268), and first in 20-plus yard receptions (16).
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Jones as the top wide receiver for Week 9. He faces a Bucs defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers this season.
Jones is a must-start this week. No questions asked.
