Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The former Arkansas player was charged with cocaine possession last July. He was suspended for the last three games of the 2008 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. In a plea deal, Jones entered a program that emphasizes treatment. Before his suspension last season, Jones was having the best year of his career, with 65 catches for 761 yards and two touchdowns. Now, with free agent Reggie Williams unlikely to return, Dennis Northcutt and Mike Walker currently represent the team's top receiving threats.
