Both coach Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers said the Packers need to James Jones more opportunities. Jones was held without a catch on two targets in Week 1 even through Rodgers attempted 37 passes and went for 333 yards. "James didn't get targeted as many times as we would have liked," Rodgers said. "Obviously you've got to try and give him the ball. But the way they were playing us, the ball was going to Jermichael and Randall a lot, and Jordy had a few more opportunities." With Finley (toe) looking questionable for Week 2, now is the time to throw some buy-low offers at Jones' owners. He has a shot to bounce back big against the Redskins' weak secondary Sunday.

James Jones did not catch a pass in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

James Jones caught two passes for 11 yards in the Packers' third preseason game Friday night. Jones is up to five catches for 72 preseason yards. Jones isn't going to repeat last year's league-high 14 touchdowns, but he could stay in the double digits and has increased value with Greg Jennings gone, Jordy Nelson battling knee woes, and Randall Cobb a biceps injury. With an Average Draft Position in the late-sixth round, Jones is a quality WR3 draft-day investment.

Wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said 2012 was "just a starting point" for James Jones. Jones set career-highs last season in catches (64), yards (784) and led the league in receiving touchdowns (14). Now Greg Jennings is gone and the Packers are extremely thin on the outside. "I thought he had a phenomenal year last year, and this year he's going to be even better than what he was last year," Bennett said. "I think he understands that and I think knows what he's capable of doing." Jones' touchdown rate will naturally regress, but he'll see a significant bump on last year's meager 98 targets.

James Jones thinks the Packers can have three 1,000-yard receivers next season. With Donald Driver retired and free agent Greg Jennings a goner, Jones' suggestion isn't outlandish. Last year, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and Jones combined for 2,483 yards while Jennings added 366. Next year, the trio will be playing every down. "It's exciting because it means more opportunities," Jones said.

James Jones caught four balls for a team-high 87 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay's Divisional Round loss to the 49ers. Jones made a huge catch in heavy traffic during the first quarter, coming down with a 44-yard bomb in double coverage to set up DuJuan Harris' 18-yard score. Jones would reach pay dirt himself on a seam route out of the right slot, with Aaron Rodgers threading a laser to him for a 20-yard touchdown. Jones, who turns 29 in March, seems to have turned a corner in his previously drop-plagued career. He led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (14) in 2012, and will have a bigger role in 2013 with Greg Jennings likely to depart in free agency.

James Jones hauled in four passes for 51 yards in the Packers' Wild Card win over the Vikings. Jones made plays over the middle and down the sideline, working often in Vikings CB A.J. Jefferson's coverage. Jefferson was benched late in the game in favor of rookie Josh Robinson. Look for Green Bay's wide receivers to put up better stats in the Divisional Round at San Francisco, in what ought to be a much more competitive game.

James Jones caught six passes for 62 yards and a touchdown at Minnesota in Week 17. Jones was involved in the game's pivotal play when a goal-line fumble was overruled as a touchdown even though coach Mike McCarthy broke the rules by throwing the challenge flag on a turnover. Jones finished a career-best regular season with a 64/784/14 stat line as a top-20 fantasy receiver. He remains Aaron Rodgers' top red-zone threat entering the rematch with the Vikes next week.

Aaron Rodgers says that ever since James Jones became a father earlier this year, he's been more focused. The knock on Jones has always been inconsistency and drops. But it's all come together this year as he leads the league in touchdown catches with 12 and has drawn heavy praise from both coach Mike McCarthy and Rodgers. With Jordy Nelson (hamstring) still sidelined, Jones will have plenty more opportunities against the Titans this week. "It's pretty impressive. He's really improved a lot," Rodgers said.

James Jones exploded for a career-high three touchdowns on seven targets, five receptions and 60 yards to lead the Packers to a 21-13 victory at Chicago in Week 15. No receiver causes his fantasy owners to pull out their hair more than Jones, who only produces big games when he's left on the bench. Jones got the scoring started with a 29-yard grab and came back with an 8-yard score just before halftime following a Jay Cutler interception. After a high pass through Jones' hands, Aaron Rodgers found him just inside the pylon for a 6-yard touchdown in the middle of the third quarter. Jones has a fine matchup in Week 16 versus the Titans, but he's made a habit of following up big games with an air ball.
