Marvin Jones

Week 13 at Chicago Bears
Even without Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola in the lineup on Thanksgiving, Marvin Jones finished with only 48 yards. It wasn’t for a lack of effort from Jones and Matthew Stafford, as the veteran was targeted a season-high 12 times, resulting in team-leading six receptions. Jones hasn’t registered a 100-yard game in ’20 and caught four passes for 55 yards in the opening week loss to the Bears.

Week 11 at Carolina Panthers
With Kenny Golladay out again last week versus Washington, Marvin Jones led Detroit in targets (10), receptions (eight) and yards (96) and scored his fifth TD of the season – four of those have come in the past three contests. All of those stats were season highs for Jones who has become a big part of the Lions aerial game in November with the team’s top receiver nursing a hip injury. The Panthers have a below-average pass defense so Jones should be used as a WR2 start, especially if Golladay is unable to play.

Week 9 at Minnesota Vikings
With Matthew Stafford throwing for over 300 yards versus the Colts last week, Marvin Jones finished with only 39 yards, but two of his three grabs went for TDs – bringing his season total to three. Marvin Hall stepped up with a long reception after Kenny Golladay left in the second half with an injury, as Stafford spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers. Without Golladay Jones should receive an increase in looks and has a good matchup against a suspect Vikings pass defense.
