Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones didn't put up big numbers only catching four passes for 34 yards, but he did have the Packers only receiving touchdown in the Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones was third in targets with eight, behind Randall Cobb who had 11 and Jordy Nelson who had nine. It was his first touchdown of the year.

Fantasy impact: The Packers didn't put up big numbers in the passing game against a tough Bengals defense but Jones did catch the only touchdown pass. James puts up enough numbers to keep him on the fantasy radar, but is clearly behind Nelson and Cobb. He is getting more targets but only had four receptions in this game. He is starting to look like a better wide receiver option, but still somewhat of a boom or bust right now. The Packers have a much needed Week 4 bye. They return in Week 5 to play the Detroit Lions.
