Update, Sept. 29 — Jones will not play in London on Sunday due to his knee injury. Give Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk and Evan Engram a boost in usage.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (right knee) is out for Sunday’s game against Atlanta at Wembley Stadium. HC Doug Pederson said KR/WR Jamal Agnew (quad) will be a game-time decision but “we’re optimistic that he can [play].”

Update, Sept. 28 — Jones was unable to practice on Thursday and continues to appear unlikely to play against the Falcons in London.
The Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Houston Texans in Week 3 to start the season 1-2. They did so without Zay Jones, who was out due to a knee injury suffered in Week 2. It appears that Jones will miss another game, this time when the Jaguars meet the Falcons in London in Week 4.
Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters on Wednesday that Jones is a “long shot” to play, per Mia O’Brien. His absence should again help elevate Jamal Agnew to the third wide receiver role.
Fantasy football implications for Week 4
With Jones out last week, Agnew saw 41 snaps and five targets, while Christian Kirk was at 63 snaps and six targets and Calvin Ridley had 59 snaps and seven targets. Kirk’s elevation in snaps is the biggest fantasy football news to come out of Jones’ injury, as he was seeing WR3 snaps with Jones and Ridley both healthy. Kirk should continue to have fantasy value with Jones out.
