Zay Jones (knee) likely out again Week 8 for Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is expected to be ruled out again Week 8 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, per head coach Doug Pederson.
What It Means:
Jones' next chance to play will be in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers when the Jaguars return from their bye. Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, and Evan Engram will be the top targets for Trevor Lawrence again on Sunday.
Kirk ($7,000) is the WR14 and Ridley ($6,800) is the WR18 in numberFire's Week 8 PPR rankings. The Steelers are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season, but their pass defense ranks third-best in our opponent-adjusted NEP model.
