Cardinals WR Zay Jones has been suspended for the first five games of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Jones was arrested in November and charged with domestic battery, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Those charges were later dropped, but the league evidently found enough evidence of wrongdoing to hand down this suspension.

Jones was set to enter the season as Arizona's No. 4 WR and wasn't on the redraft radar. This obviously knocks him further off.

Zach Pascal and Chris Moore are the leading candidates to replace Jones on the depth chart. But the fantasy takeaway here is that Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch are locked in as the team's top three WRs.

Dortch, who's had a buzzy summer, has already been a strong late-round target in fantasy drafts. His ADP is sitting in Round 22.
