DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Atlanta Falcons
With the Lions rushing attack controlling the clock at Jacksonville last week, Marvin Jones posted just two grabs for eight yards, as Matthew Stafford spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers. Since Kenny Golladay’s return, Jones has only three total receptions the past two contests and 14 through five games. Even facing a porous Atlanta D, he is a risky start due to the lack of looks he's been receiving.

DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Matthew Stafford completed only 17 passes two weeks, with Marvin Jones finishing with just a nine-yard reception on two targets. In the past two contests since Kenny Golladay returned Jones has seen a total of five looks. While he’s still an important part of the Detroit aerial attack, Jones is a risky fantasy play for now, even against a poor Jacksonville pass defense.

DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. New Orleans Saints
Kenny Golladay returned to the Detroit lineup last week, which meant Marvin Jones received only three targets from Matthew Stafford, after combining for 14 the first two games. He caught all his looks for 51 yards and has been over 50 yards or scored in all three contests this season. Jones has a favorable matchup at home versus a below average New Orleans pass defense. He should be used as a WR3/flex option.

DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Arizona Cardinals
With Kenny Golladay out again last Sunday against the Pack, Marvin Jones received six targets, leading to four grabs, 23 yards and his first score of the season. While his looks were just one shy of the team-leading seven to Danny Amendola, Jones did not register a catch for more than eight yards. Even if Golladay is back this week to help draw more attention, Detroit is facing Arizona’s No. 8 pass defense. Jones is at best a WR3/flex option.

DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Green Bay Packers
In the tough loss to the Bears last week, Marvin Jones finished with four receptions for 55 yards on eight targets. Without Kenny Golladay, it was Quintez Cephus who led Detroit with 10 targets and Danny Amendola with 81 yards. Jones will continue to receive looks from Matthew Stafford and has a good matchup at Green Bay on Sunday. The Pack allowed Kirk Cousins to pass for over 250 yards and a couple TDs in the opener, although much of that came with the Vikings trying to play catchup. If Golladay can't go, Jones should post good numbers.

DET WR Marvin Jones - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 – Marvin Jones vs. Chicago Bears
After missing the last three games in ’19 due to an ankle injury, Marvin Jones is healthy and will be back in the starting lineup for the regular season opener. Even with multiple Lions QBs last season he was having a solid season, collecting 62 receptions for 779 yards and nine touchdowns. As long as Jones can stay healthy, he should be primed for another good year. In the opener consider him a WR3/flex play.

DET WR Marvin Jones - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Prior to Matthew Stafford getting hurt last season, Marvin Jones was the No. 15 WR in PPR scoring. In ’19 he was the No. 27 WR before getting injured himself (ankle) and missing the final three games. Overall, in his 13 games last year he finished with 62 receptions for 779 yards and nine touchdowns. The number of grabs and scores were the second-most he’s posted during his seven-year career. When both Stafford and Jones were healthy in ’17, he finished as the No. 11 PPR WR.

Fantasy Downside
What a rollercoaster season it was for Jones in ’19. He failed to reach 50 yards in seven of 13 contests and scored six of his nine TDs in just two games, with four of those coming in one outing. Jones will again lineup opposite of Kenny Golladay, who is the team’s clear No. 1 wideout and T.J. Hockenson should receive plenty of looks in his second season too. Staying healthy has been an issue as Jones has missed 10 games the past two seasons.

Bottom Line
At 30 years of age, Jones could be nearing the downhill part of his career, especially for a WR who’s missed action due to injury. While Kenny Golladay is the Lions’ top WR, Jones still sees plenty of looks from Stafford, finishing with just three fewer receptions than Golladay in ’19. Detroit signed former Packer Geronimo Allison, who could push Jones for playing time, but expect another solid season from the veteran. He’s a good WR3 option for your fantasy team.
