Marvin Jones

Week 1 at Washington Commanders

Given the dysfunctional nature of the offense, we should be looking at the 2021 Marvin Jones performance and marveling at how productive he actually was. Jones caught 73 passes (three short of tying his career high) for 832 yards and scored four touchdowns through the air. He only averaged 8.5 fantasy points in Half PPR scoring, posting a solitary WR1 week and finishing as the WR34 across the season.

The Commanders ranked 30th in aFPA allowed to wide receivers last season, so on paper, this would seem to be something of a decent matchup. The Jaguars are something of a mystery on offense at present, however, and with the new offense and added competition for targets, it's hard to get too excited about Jones at this stage of the season. He is projected for a WR5 week to start his season.

Week 15 vs. Houston Texans

Marvin Jones showed some small signs of life in Week 14 with a 6-70-0 line against the Titans. While it might be tempting to think Jones is on the upswing, Trevor Lawrence still only threw for 221 yards without a score in a game where the Jags were dominated. With the Jaguars offense playing as poorly as it currently is, Jones's floor is rock bottom despite the useable performance last week. He can be started in a soft matchup against Houston if you're truly desperate, but he is best kept on the bench as this offense should be avoided wherever possible for fantasy purposes.

Week 13 at Los Angeles Rams

Marvin Jones is one of the top options in Jacksonville, which means he's one of the top options in the worst passing offense in football. Jones will occasionally post a decent line based on sheer volume or finding the endzone, but there is no pass catcher that is a safe start in this offensive situation. Jones, like the rest of the Jaguar passing game, should be left on the bench for Week 13 and likely the rest of the season.
