Jones feels like he's matured: The Houston Chronicle reports Texans WR Jacoby Jones is ready to become the returner and receiver the Texans wanted when they acquired him as a third-round draft choice. It has been a maturation process for Jones, and it began last March when he was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Jones was found passed out at a stoplight, asleep at the wheel of his running car. "I can tell I'm maturing," Jones said. "I see things that you do when you are younger and think, 'I used to do those things.' I guess I'm getting old — even though I'm only 24. This life you live as an athlete makes you mature faster than what you are." This offseason, he has devoted himself more than ever to improving as a player. With the Texans presently participating in organized team activities, his newfound dedication has not gone unnoticed. "He's been excellent in the offseason," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's grown up. He's handled himself a lot better than he has in the past. He's becoming a pro to me, so with that should come better play and more consistency."

Fantasy Analysis

Jones found success early as a rookie, surprising many with his big-play ability on returns. But during his second NFL campaign in 2008, he was plagued by dropped balls. Although he did return two punts for touchdowns, he rarely saw the field as a receiver. He caught just three passes after having 15 receptions as a rookie. That should change this year in his third season, which is typically the year when receivers have a breakout year. Jones should compete with Kevin Walter for a starting spot opposite Andre Johnson. Keep an eye on how Jones does, but he could be worth a late-round pick in deeper leagues.
