2023 Receiving Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Departing this offseason are the Tar Heels two top wide outs Josh Downs and Antoine Green. Downs and Green accounted for over 1,800 of the team’s 4,330 receiving yards last season. With star quarterback Drake Maye returning for his junior season there is a huge hole in the wide receiver group that expects to get a lot of action from what many pundits believe is a first-round pick in next year’s NFL Draft. Jones is poised to lead the charge in filling this void as he was the team’s third leading wide receiver last season as he accumulated 24 catches for 434 yards and two touchdowns. Read Past Outlooks
Out for spring ball
Jones will not partake in spring ball, Michael Koh of WCHL & Chapelboro reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones posted his best campaign to date in 2023, racking up 46 catches for 711 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets. He'll presumably enter 2024 in position to reprise his role as a starting wideout. However, he'll miss some pivotal time in spring to work with the new candidates to start under center in Texas A&M transfer Max Johnson and Conner Harrell, who started the Tar Heels' bowl game.
