James Jones, WR, Green Bay Packers

Revenge narrative anyone? James Jones will return to Oakland to face his former team this weekend for the first time since rejoining the Packers. But let's not be silly here -- we're not throwing someone into our playoff lineups just because they might be a little perturbed at their former employer (at least I'm not).

Jones is in play this week due to Oakland's weak secondary and his role within this Packers offense. Per our Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP metric, the Raiders have the 10th worst pass defense in the league. And while Jones' fantasy production has tailed off of late, his targets have actually increased slightly. Over his past four games, Jones is averaging 6.75 targets per game; he simply hasn't been able to sustain his ridiculous touchdown pace from earlier this season.

With the Packers' implied team total sitting at 25, we should see multiple scoring opportunities in this game for them. Even if he is unable to reel in a touchdown this week, with his usual complement of targets, he should be able to find success against the Raiders pass defense.
