Fantasy Football News and Rumors
Check out the latest news and notes from around the NFL.
Zay Jones suspended for five games
Zay Jones has been suspended for the first five games of the 2024 NFL season for violating the NFL’s rules of conduct.

While Jones was a reliable player for Trevor Lawrence in 2022, his performance dropped off in 2023 after an injury-plagued season.

With the arrival of expected superstar Marvin Harrison Jr. and the expected rise of second-year player Michael Wilson, he likely won’t have fantasy relevance in most 12-team leagues.
