News: The Chiefs signed linebacker and special-teams standout Edgar Jones, releasing Andy Studebaker in the process.
Analysis: Neither player will put up many stats, so the Fantasy relevance here is minimal.
News: The Chiefs announced on Monday that the club has signed linebacker Edgar Jones and placed defensive back Kyle McCarthy on injured reserve.
Analysis: Neither move should impact Fantasy rosters.
News: The Ravens signed LB Edgar Jones on Wednesday to take the roster spot of LB Prescott Burgess, who was placed on IR.
Analysis: Jones has played for the Ravens in the past, so learning the team's defensive system won't be a big deal. But Jones is just added depth and can be ignored in Fantasy.
News: The Ravens on Saturday activated special teams standout Brendon Ayanbadejo (quadriceps) from the PUP list and released linebacker Edgar Jones.
Analysis: Jones has been solid in the past on special teams but really doesn't contribute much more than that. He's released now and clearly brings no Fantasy value to the table.
News: The Baltimore Sun reports the Ravens are moving Edgar Jones again. This time he's going to outside linebacker. In his first three seasons with the Ravens, Jones has gone from outside linebacker to tight end. There had been talk this offseason that Jones was going to fullback. Instead, he is going back to the spot where he began his NFL career.
Analysis: Last year, Jones finished fourth on the team with a career-high 19 tackles on special teams. He could move back to offense again with an injury, but it would likely be at FB instead of TE since the Ravens drafted two rookies to play behind Todd Heap. Ultimately, no matter his position, ignore Jones in all leagues on Draft Day.

Analysis: Clayton was dealing with a knee injury but was listed as active and just did not have a catch. The rest of these players have minimal Fantasy value and should not be used in Week 17 at Oakland.
News: The Ravens had five players who did not record any stats on offense Sunday against Chicago with TE L.J. Smith, WR David Tyree, WR Justin Harper, RB Jalen Parmele and TE Edgar Jones.
Analysis: All of these players have minimal Fantasy value. Don't plan on using them in any leagues in Week 16 at the Steelers.
News: Baltimore TE Edgar Jones made his first catch of the season Week 14 against Detroit. He gained 8 yards.
Analysis: Jones is clearly not a relevant Fantasy option and can be reserved in all formats for Week 15 against Chicago.

News:Troy Smith, Matt Lawrence, L.J. Smith, Demetrius Williams and Edgar Jones were all held without a stat Week 5 against the Bengals.
Analysis: None of these players are worth using in Week 6 at Minnesota and have minimal Fantasy value in all formats. L.J. Smith would only be worth using if Todd Heap gets hurt and is out for an extended period of time.
News: Baltimore WR Demetrius Williams, TE Edgar Jones, TE L.J. Smith, QB Troy Smith and RB Matt Lawrence were active for Sunday's game at New England but did not record an offensive stat.

News: Baltimore WR Demetrius Williams and TE Edgar Jones were active and saw playing time in Week 3's win over the Browns. Neither caught a pass or touched the ball and they finished with no stats in the win.

News: In the Ravens' Week 1 win vs. the Chiefs, QB Troy Smith, WR Demetrius Williams, RB Matt Lawrence and TE Edgar Jones were active but didn't post any stats.
Analysis: Williams has a shot to eventually contribute for the Ravens, but not for Fantasy owners. Everyone else listed isn't expected to produce enough stats to warrant Fantasy use. Keep them all off rosters. The Ravens play at the Chargers in Week 2.

Analysis: Jones has minimal Fantasy value no matter what position he plays. Ignore him in all leagues this season.
News: The Carroll County Times reports the Ravens are using former DL Edgar Jones at TE with injuries to Todd Heap, L.J. Smith and Quinn Sypniewski. But Jones is also still rushing the passer at times as well. "The first rep felt a little bit different," Jones said. "By the second or third rep, it felt like second nature."
Analysis: Jones has minimal Fantasy value at either spot. Ignore him in all leagues.
News: The Baltimore Ravens have listed the following players as inactive for Week 16 on Saturday night at Dallas: QB Todd Bouman (3rd QB), K Steven Hauschka, WR Terrance Copper, WR Marcus Maxwell and DL Edgar Jones.
Analysis: Most of these players are nothing more than reserves or minor contributors for the Ravens. They have little to no Fantasy value when active. Keep them reserved Week 16 at Dallas.
News: Ravens QB Troy Smith, PK Steven Hauschka, WR Marcus Smith, TE Daniel Wilcox and TE Edgar Jones all dressed, but failed to record an offensive stat Week 15 vs. Pittsburgh.

News: The following Ravens players did not have stat in Week 8 against Oakland: WR Ernie Wheelwright, TE Daniel Wilcox and TE Edgar Jones.
Analysis: None of the players on this list should be considered viable Fantasy option. They are not in a position to contribute regular stats as they aren't in line for regular playing time. They've got some depth chart climbing to do and should be left on the waiver wire.
News: Ravens WR Ernie Wheelwright, TE Daniel Wilcox, TE Edgar Jones and WR Demetrius Williams all played in a Week 7 win over Miami, but did not record an offensive statistic.
Analysis: None of these four players have any Fantasy value, so continue to ignore them in all formats.

News: Ravens OLB Edgar Jones traded his white No. 91 jersey for a purple No. 46 on Tuesday, reports the team's official website. The Ravens will attempt to move Jones to TE in order help with position depth. Jones dabbled on offense during offseason minicamps, where he saw brief duty at the position when a rash of injuries thinned the corps. It seems that this time, the move is for real. "We want to give it a little more of a full-blown experiment," said head coach John Harbaugh. "We want to give him a week or two in there to see how he does. He’s played well at linebacker, he knows the linebacker position. We feel like we can move him back there at any time and he’ll do just fine for us. But, we want to see if he can help us at tight end." Switching to 46 allows Jones to play at both spots during games because linebackers and tight ends can each wear numbers in the 40s.
Analysis: Ah, good old iron man football. The way the game was intended. Guess what? Jones could play eight positions and he still wouldn't rack up enough Fantasy stats to be considered viable in Fantasy play.
News: Ravens backup DL Edgar Jones grabbed his first career sack in Baltimore's 22-16 overtime loss to the Dolphins in Week 15. He finished the game with two total tackles.
Analysis: Jones is an undrafted free agent rookie and isn't worth owning in any Fantasy leagues at this point. The Ravens play the Seahawks in Week 16.
News: The Ravens' list of inactives for Week 14 against the Colts includes RB Cory Ross, DB Gerome Sapp, WR Demetrius Williams, DL Edgar Jones and DL Justin Bannan.

News: Ravens QB Steve McNair, WR Demetrius Williams, DB Chris McAlister, DB Gerome Sapp, TE Daniel Wilcox and LB Edgar Jones are all inactive for Week 12 at San Diego.
Analysis: McNair continues to sit idle while he recovers from a left shoulder injury. He is nothing more than a No. 2 Fantasy QB when healthy. McAlister continues to be bothered by a knee injury and is a low-end Fantasy DB when healthy. The remaining inactive players have little to no Fantasy value when active. Keep these players reserved Week 12.
News: The Ravens inactives for Week 11 against Cleveland include DB Samari Rolle, DB Gerome Sapp, TE Daniel Wilcox, WR Demetrius Williams and LB Edgar Jones.
Analysis: Keep all of these players reserved for Week 11 against the Browns and continue to monitor their status for Week 12 at San Diego.

News: Ravens QB Troy Smith, DB David Pittman, TE Daniel Wilcox, DL Trevor Pryce and DL Edgar Jones are all inactive for Week 6 vs. St. Louis.

News: The Ravens list of Week 1 inactives for Sunday's game at Cincinnati includes K Rhys Lloyd, QB Troy Smith, WR Yamon Figurs, DB Ronnie Prude, RB Mike Anderson, LB Antwan Barnes, LB Prescott Burgess, DL Edgar Jones.
