Jones had a strong Week 1, catching five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Jones, along with Calvin Ridley manned the outside while Christian Kirk was relegated to the slot. If Jones were to miss much time, Kirk would likely see more outside work, along with snaps and targets.
This matchup with the Chiefs has been marred with turnovers and what was supposed to be a high scoring game, so far, isn’t. Patrick Mahomes has just 82 yards passing and an interceptions, while Trevor Lawrence has 57 passing yards and a fumble.
