Jones stays short of the deep ball against Green Bay's pass defense. Green Bay clamps down on receivers—they're built to keep plays in front and limit explosive gains through the air. Jones averages just 7.1 yards per catch on 2.3 receptions per game, a modest target share that doesn't set him up for a 9-yard-plus reception in a neutral game script. The Vikings aren't trailing and forcing vertical throws; they're playing even, which means Jones stays in his role as a check-down option rather than a deep-route threat.
