Chargers sign James Jones as Stevie Johnson insurance

The San Diego Chargers signed veteran wide receiver James Jones.

What It Means:

With Stevie Johnson recovering from a torn meniscus, Jones will provide the Chargers with a veteran presence. However, there's a reason he's still available at this point in the offseason, and he will be behind Keenan Allen, Danny Woodhead, Antonio Gates, Travis Benjamin and Melvin Gordon in the pecking order for targets. Jones won't be on the fantasy radar in San Diego.

The 31-year-old Jones put up an unexpected line of 50 catches, 890 yards and 8 touchdowns last season with the Green Bay Packers. However, only two of those scores came after Week 6, and it would take a catastrophic amount of injuries to see him replicate that sort of production in 2016.
