@GrahamBarfield: Aaron Rodgers has supported two top-24 WRs in per-game PPR output in 5-of-7 seasons, but his No. 3 WR has finished inside of the top-36 once

Are you guys dropping Montgomery for him?

As of right now, this move has yet to still be officially made, correct?

Hmm..not sure Id say lower Davante, but that is relative to where he is drafted in (your) league. Montgomery and Janis are afterthoughts now, hard to say where Id put Jones at this point. Itll probably be a rotation between him and the other 2 WRs at this point so Id guess all of them are fantasy irrelevant this year.
You guys are missing the boat here. Rodgers loves jones. They have great rapport. Only reason jones left was BC they had jordy and Cobb and couldn't sign him. The organization and coaches love him too. He was a key red zone read for Rodgers. A trusted receiver. With jordy not around he will likely end the year as the 2nd most valuable gb wr after Cobb.
I picked him up as my wr5 just now and I'm rolled about it. He's a must add.

Fantasy relevance is quite possible.
Impacting Adams, no.
Favre/Rodgers/coaching/scheme is what makes all these GB receivers, not the other way round. Thompson is good at picking valuable WRs for Green Bay, and they're all in the tank when they leave. Adams is a better receiver than Jones in 2015, and will be fed. That's what creates the fantasy value.

For those who had reasonable expectations for Adams, no, but for those expecting 1400/14, yes.

JJ is well worth a late-round flier. GB has always found ways to give him some decent fantasy value. Bye-week WR with potential to be a WR3, maybe better, if Devante Adams doesn't cement his position.

Very concerned Adams owner.
But my only hope is GB Will do what GB has always done... Serve their future. Going back to sharpe and freeman, they have always developed. So while jones is probably more immediately capable of an impact, the broad view would be an attempt to establish their second rounder who they have raved about, And not feed the guy who wasn't good enough to make. Six win giants team

That was the year. 64/784/14. The only year he posted WR3 numbers or better.

As a packer homer, James Jones will help with his veteran experience and knowing the system and Aaron Rodgers.
Jones was a bit inconsistent in Green Bay (dropping the ball when he was wide open a few times), but many times he seemed to be in the right place and be wide open as the third receiver. Jones knows the Green Bay system and Rodgers pretty well, and Rodgers knows Jones pretty well (that what really matters), so Green Bay will be alright if everyone gets on the same sheet of music.
I also own Adams, and I and not very worried about Jones cutting into his production, if Adams plays well, he will get a ton of targets.
Rodgers throws to who is open.

Love is a too strong of word here, but Jones does fit well in the system and knowing Rodgers, and that what counts this late into the preseason.

Love this guy as a WR 4/5 this year. He's a perfect bench WR to use on byes and for injuries in standard because he's a threat to score every game. Rodgers loves this guy and him and Cobb will be 1A and 1B in the Red Zone after Lacy. Adams seems to struggle there. Are there WR with more upside like Lockett available? Sure, but they are more lottery ticket types. You're safe with James. If Cobb gets dinged, which he probably will at some point, he becomes a must start.

Jones is old and was never very fast though.

I have to defer to the Packers homer on Mike McCarthy's situational WR tendencies, but I think we all can agree that Jones is old and slow. He's got good hands, and will fight for yards after catch. But I just don't see him lining up outside. Any corner should be able to lineup with him in single coverage and shut him down. Maybe in 4 WR sets I can see Jones breaking free for some space. But I just don't see Jones having an adverse affect on Ty Montgomery gaining a fantasy relevant role in this offense.
Those numbers aren't too different from the ones he put up in his last full season as a Packer.

I don't have him in any of my leagues because I don't have space, but I firmly believe he will be relevant in the beginning of the season. He may be slow but he knows the offense and is a big target. Factor in Cobb's injury (I think he will have a hard time reaching for grabs) and no Jordy, I think Jones could be a big factor in the red zone at least for the first couple games.
If looking for long term value, look elsewhere..

The easy and inexcusable strip of the ball that the Jets safety or corner pulled on him late in the exhibition game of the preseason might have been his death knell with the Giants. I'm not saying he won't be good in a system he knows, but he looked pretty bad for the Giants in the preseason. They kept some shaky guys over him at WR.
He's a flyer you take in the late rounds of your draft and drop a week or two later if he doesn't produce for something better on the waiver wire. He could be a great bye week for injury fill in if he develops some consistency and rapport with Rogers. Knowing the system is a huge plus but this guy has been bounced from the Raiders and the Giants which makes me temper my expectations.

Meh.
He's really only been significant in FF once, and that required a huge outlier in TD production. Anyone expecting more than his career average production (50 - 650 - 5 ish) is setting themselves up for a let down. His "name brand" value has always been > his production.

I took him with my last pick...but already had to drop him.
With Evans injury and my bench WRs consisting of Torrey Smith and Martavis Bryant...I went with Rueben Randle so I could have someone with a late game to switch in if Evans can't go.
I like him for some up and down games as a possible red zone target...but not enough to be trusted right off the bat.

Red, I think Jones' value is only with the Packers. If you heard Rodgers talk about JJ with reporters, he was thrilled to have him back and he trusts him. Jones may be old and has lost a step, but he's going to score some TDs. Not a fantasy starter, but a nice filler to have.

Agree...I think its like Flynn...Jones is worth more to GB than to other teams. Chemistry with the QB and fitting what they do there appear to be very important.

That was also the year Jordy had the hamstring problems and missed five games. Jones put up 25/327/5 in those games.
So, James Jones is three years older and three years slower. But this is eerily similar as he's one of the few healthy and reliable receivers on an elite offense. If he posts another WR3 or better season it wouldn't shock me.

Me too. I knew he would make an impact but wanted to see first. Looks like a bigger RZ threat than Adams.
