Chandler Jones

Per Tom Pelissero, linebacker Chandler Jones is finalizing a deal for around $17 million a year with the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

The two-time All-Pro pass rusher will now be paired up with Maxx Crosby on a Raiders defense that just lost Yannick Ngakoue via trade. At 32-year-old, Jones is still a difference maker recording 10.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, 12 tackles for loss, and 26 QB hits last season for the Cardinals. AFC West quarterbacks have much to fear with Khalil Mack and Chandler Jones joining their division.

It "doesn't sound" like star edge-rusher Chandler Jones will be on the Cardinals for the 2022 season.

Fantasy Impact

Jones has been a staple of the Cardinals defense for the last few years, but it looks like change could be coming to Arizona. The veteran edge rusher was hot and cold for the team this year, and he will likely draw a lot of interest from defense-needy teams on the open market.

The Cardinals activated Chandler Jones from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Fantasy Impact

He'll return on Thursday against the Packers after missing the Cardinals' past two games. It's certainly a boost to Arizona's defense. There's also a chance that Green Bay could be without Davante Adams.

Cardinals LB/EDGE Chandler Jones (reserve/COVID-19) won't play in Week 7 against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Jones didn't play in Week 6 either. His absence hurts the Cardinals' defense, but the unit remains an excellent fantasy play in Week 7 against the lowly Texans.

Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones (reserve/COVID-19) isn't expected to play in Week 6 against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

The news comes directly from coach Kliff Kingsbury. His absence hurts Arizona's defense, but the unit wasn't really on the fantasy radar this week anyways.
