Draft note

by John Paulsen

Here are Jones’s finishes in the last few years, working backward: No. 17 (in 16 games), No. 27 (in 13 games), No. 61 (in nine games–with the No. 30 per game average) and No. 9 (in 16 games). Jones always seems to outperform his average draft position, which is in the 10th round this season as he joins a new team and rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He was signed to replace the production of Keelan Cole and Chris Conley, but will compete with D.J. Chark and Laviska Shenault for targets in what may be a conservative, run-oriented offense meant to protect Lawrence as much as possible. At 31 years old, Jones is at the tail end of his prime. He should remain productive, but it’s unlikely that he’ll see the 7.1 targets per game that he’s garnered over the last three years.

Marvin Jones signs two-year deal with Jacksonville

Jaguars are giving former Lions' WR Marvin Jones a two-year, $14.5 million deal, including $9.2 million fully guaranteed, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

I figured Jones would sign with a contender, not with a team in rebuilding mode, but money talks, and the Jaguars have a lot to spend. Even at 31, Jones is a solid weapon for (likely) future No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence. He posted 76-978-9 last season, and benefited from the extended absence of Kenny Golladay. In Jacksonville, he'll join a receiving corps that already features D.J. Chark and Laviska Shenault. The Jaguars also added Phillip Dorsett yesterday. Fantasy-wise Jones will be in the WR4/WR5 mix as a low-volume threat in the Jacksonville passing game.

JAX WR Marvin Jones - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
The Jaguars and Marvin Jones Jr. agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million deal, including $9.2 million fully guaranteed, in March. In Jacksonville, Jones will be reunited with former Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who holds the same position on coach Urban Meyer's staff. . The 31-year-old Jones flourished in his five seasons with the Lions after signing with the team as a free agent in 2016, following the retirement of Hall of Fame receiver Calvin Johnson. With the Lions, he had 289 catches for 4,296 yards and 36 touchdowns. He had his only 1,000-yard season in 2017, with 1,101 yards and an NFL-leading 18 yards per reception. As SI.com notes, Jones has been a high-volume touchdown receiver in his career, collecting 51 in 88 career starts. In fact, Jones is the only wide receiver with at least nine touchdown receptions in each of the past two years.

Fantasy Downside
Jones has benefitted from being paired with other top receivers in his career such as A.J. Green and Kenny Golladay. In Jacksonville, he'll work alongside promising youngsters D.J. Chark, Laviska Shenault Jr. and Collin Johnson. Chark and Shenault are promising up-and-comers, but they won't necessarily distract opposing defenses.

2021 Bottom Line
In an offense that will likely be throwing on the regular, Jones should be viewed as a value play with plenty of upside.
