Marvin Jones (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall

Current ADP: ~95

Marvin Jones ranks 26th in the last three-year span among receivers in PPR points, but last year he could only finish WR46. That's enough reason for most owners out there to fade him in drafts.

Of a potential total of 48 games since the start of the 2016 season, Jones has missed eight. Ranking 26th even with that deficit is impressive. If we take his 115.8 points from last season in nine games and put them on a 16-game baseline, he'd have reached 205.9, close enough to Jarvis Landry, Amari Cooper, and Tyler Lockett.

To be fair, the Lions' offense last season was a mess. It lost its direction, saw Golden Tate traded, missed Marvin Jones from Week 10 on and never truly clicked. This year's expectations are much higher than what happened last season. In 2017 Marvin Jones caught 61 passes for 1,101 yards and nine touchdowns and there is no reason to think he can't reach such performing levels once again. Back then, he finished as the WR5 and 38th-best player overall in PPR leagues. He will have to battle with Kenny Golladay for targets but with Golden Tate out of Detroit, he will be one of the receivers Stafford will rely on the most. Count on him to make a resounding comeback.
