Jones missed both Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness, but returned Friday at full capacity. He is listed as probable and was never in any real danger of missing Week 12’s contest. Jones will be active despite dealing with a bug.
Fantasy Spin: Jones can be counted on once again as a borderline WR1/WR2, though his upside could potentially be capped by being shadowed by the formidable Joe Haden all afternoon. Despite that, Jones is formidable enough himself, and has the talent to capitalize versus the league's best. Because he will be playing without limitations, fantasy owners can pen their high-upside receiver into their lineups without hesitation this week.
