Zay Jones primed for a breakout season in 2018?

Ryan Talbot of New York Upstate has pegged sophomore WR Zay Jones as a prime breakout candidate on the Bills' offense for 2018. Jones struggled mightily in his rookie campaign, both on and off the field. He was injured for part of the season, plagued by drops when he did play, and had a bizarre off-the-field incident after the season. (New York Upstate)

Fantasy Impact:

Buffalo showed confidence in both Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones, or at least more confidence than other position groups, by not addressing the wideout position in the 2018 NFL Draft. Benjamin and Jones are the most likely starters for the Bills in 2018, as unappealing as that may be. While the Bills offense will almost certainly be near league-bottom, Benjamin and Jones should both see plenty of targets. If Jones can straighten out his drops, he could very easily return good value on his draft position based on volume alone. However, Jones will very likely be volatile, so he may be frustrating to own in fantasy leagues. If you play best ball formats, he's a better pick in that type of league.
