Has the light finally gone on for Zay Jones?

Zay Jones is starting to play ball, making catches. For all the drops last year, and his off-season stuff, I give the kid credit for turning it around. May not be a # 1 (or even a #2) but looks like he could be a productive #3 and a future piece of a winning puzzle. 

Ive thought the same thing- showing great hands and good routes! I do think he needs to get stronger- rarely breaks a tackle and I dont think he can hit the home run. We have to shore up WR and put him as a 2 or the slot.

He's nothing special,just targeted tonight.

Good luck with that.

 

I think he meant Buffalo-style Robert Woods, you know, 45-50 catches for 600 yards and a couple TDs Robert Woods. Not LA Rams Robert Woods, who is currently on pace to catch 97 passes for around 1300 yards and 7 TDs.

Is this illicit or political talk?  

Lol. The autocorrect gives away my internet activities.

Yup. I saw him waving his hands again pre snap 

Wasn't it KB's bone headed penalty that erased a long pass play ? Guy is worse than dead weight

We target Benjamin all the time and nothing ever happens.  Your theory is fake news. 

 

The production is pretty even to be honest.

 

Yards per catchable target:

  • Benjamin: 9.4
  • Zay: 8.4

Target quality:

  • Benjamin: 8.1 (31st in the league)
  • Zay: 7.8 (46th in the league)

True catch rate:

  • Benjamin: 60.9% (105th in the league)
  • Zay: 70.4% (95th in the league)

True drop rate:

  • Benjamin: 13%
  • Zay: 3.7%

PFF rating (and ranking in parentheses)

  • Benjamin: 60.7 (89th)
  • Zay: 61.9 (80th)

PFF receiving rating:

  • Benjamin: 60.4
  • Zay: 60.5

Zay's been slightly better this year, but the gap really isn't very large. They're both in contention for being the worst starting WR in the NFL.

I guess a lot of this is just eye test, given our QB's are either terrible, or a rookie.  Main thing is that KB is on the descent, whereas it looks like Zay is starting to "get it".

I do agree that they appear to be on two different paths. I'm still not very high on Zay, but he's at least shown enough to warrant keeping him around. Benjamin has shown enough to warrant getting him off the team. I don't want either guy to be a projected starter on this team next year though.

He’s what I thought he would be coming out of college, and is living up to his draft position.

 

It’s a start.  So much work left to do to really build an offense - #1 receiver, line, replacing McCoy, eventually tight end, and of course developing a rookie QB.

I think he can do damage in the slot.  Robert Woods would be his ceiling, imo.  We definitely need two stronger WR's on the outside though.
