2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jones, the Bengals' fourth-round pick out of Purdue, was a really late bloomer, posting his first 1,000-yard season in his fifth collegiate year, at age 24. Jones is listed by the team as 6-foot and 188 pounds, but did test well at the combine with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash and a 124-inch broad jump. The Bengals expect to use him immediately in the return game, and he'll claw to earn reps as their fourth receiver. They'll have tough contractual decisions to make regarding Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, with the hope being that Jones might ultimately supplant Boyd in the future. Read Past Outlooks

Ends team return TD drought
Jones returned a punt for an 81-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 27-24 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick out of Purdue has yet to line up at receiver through his first two NFL games, but he became the first Bengals player to score a touchdown in 2023 when he went untouched on a punt return to tie the game early in the second quarter. Jones' 81-yard score represented the first punt returned for a touchdown by a Bengals player since the 2012 season. Jones should continue to maintain a key role as a return man throughout his rookie season, but his opportunities on offense will likely be few and far between while all of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are healthy.
