Should You Start or Roster Charlie Jones?
Three seasons in, Jones still hasn't carved out an offensive role, and the trend is going the wrong direction. He played 14 games in 2025 but logged just 11 routes on a 2.1% snap share, drawing a single target for a 0.2% target share and a brutal -0.534 EPA per play. The 2024 line was nearly identical: 16 routes, one catch for five yards across seven appearances. His career-best workload remains 2023, when he ran 30 routes and turned nine targets into 64 yards at 2.13 yards per route run.
That 2023 efficiency hints at usable hands, but it came on a sample too thin to project anything. An ankle issue ended his 2025 early, and he spent the bulk of the year on special teams behind a crowded Bengals receiver room. Until injuries or departures clear a path, Jones is a roster-clogging zero with no draftable value in any format.

Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
Three seasons in, Jones still hasn't carved out an offensive role, and the trend is going the wrong direction. He played 14 games in 2025 but logged just 11 routes on a 2.1% snap share, drawing a single target for a 0.2% target share and a brutal -0.534 EPA per play. The 2024 line was nearly identical: 16 routes, one catch for five yards across seven appearances.

Charlie Jones Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Charlie Jones's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

What could hurt Charlie Jones's fantasy value?

How difficult is Charlie Jones's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 4 come against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
