8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9
Zay Jones, WR, Buffalo Bills
This may be the last hurrah for Zay Jones' fantasy upside this season. His only appeal has come from his volume, as he has been woefully inconsistent. With the Buffalo Bills' addition of Kelvin Benjamin, Jones' volume is likely to take a big hit. Benjamin will be suiting up on only two days of practice this week, though, and even if he plays a full complement of snaps, he may not be fully up to speed in the offense on Thursday.
Jones doesn't see a ton of targets, as there haven't been many to go around in the Bills' run-heavy offense in general, but he has at least five in each of his last four games, averaging 6.3 per game in that span. That accounts for 21% of the team's total.
He has also accounted for a big 34% of the team's air yards during this time with a lot of those targets coming deep down the field. His average depth of target (aDOT) sits at 15.0 for the year.
The New York Jets rank 24th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, putting him in a good spot to convert some of those high-value deep targets into fantasy points.
