3. Best fantasy football pickups for Week 15: WR Zay Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars
Rostered: 60.5%
Jones is rolling right now. On Sunday, he had a massive game with eight receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. As of Monday morning, he is the eighth-highest scoring fantasy wide receiver this week. He has now been targeted 43 total times over his last four games!
In fact, Jones has been targeted 98 times this season, which is tied with Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Chris Olave for the 16th-most among wide receivers.
Jones has proven himself to be a valuable fantasy contributor, at times. This season, he has reached double-digit fantasy points in six individual games and 20+ fantasy points in three games. The Jaguars’ offense is starting to quietly build momentum. They scored 36 points against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, and they scored 28 points against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12.
Jones is receiving WR1 volume, and as long as that continues, he is a must-start in most leagues.
