BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~112 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~123
ANALYSIS: It might be a little bit of a stretch to label Trevor Lawrence as a league-winning player this early in his career, much less as a rookie quarterback playing his first pro snaps. He can truly be the real deal, but it's not that he will finish as a QB1 off his last year in Clemson. Even then, though, he should make everyone around him better in 2021. In a receiving corps that clearly lacks true/proven talent in Jacksonville, free-agency acquisition Marvin Jones looks like the best bet to rack up fantasy points.
Jones, believe it or not, has been around since 2012 when he played for the Bengals. He moved to Detroit after that span, and that's where he found his tastiest mojo. Barring his nine-game 2018 season, the other four campaigns he played (min. 13 games in each of them) saw Jones reach at least 172 FP, and his FPPG average is all the way up to around 14 PPR points per game in the last three full-seasons he has played. Jones is coming off his best season after scoring a career-high 227+ PPR points last year.
Jones has finished as a WR3 in four of the last five seasons (again, he missed seven games the year he didn't accomplish that feat), one as a WR2 (2020) and another one as a WR1 (2017). Even if he has to face competition when it comes to targets in Jacksonville, that would most probably only mean that he would be related to a WR2 role slightly below D.J. Chark Jr. Other than that, the path is very clear for Jones to put up numbers weekly and fulfill PFF's projection of a WR37 (borderline WR3) finish.
UPDATE: Travis Etienne's injury opens up what was projecting to be a decent amount of vacated targets for the rest of the Jags' crew. Jones should be the second option in the passing game with Chark Jr. and Shenault as his primary competition for targets, and he should be able to carve out a solid role with rookie quarterback Lawrence. He's an easy, undervalued WR3/WR4 target this season.
