BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues
ANALYSIS: Marvin Jones had a strong game last Sunday against the Saints, hauling in six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Jones has been playing second fiddle to Golden Tate in the Lions receiving core so far this season, but an AC joint sprain suffered by Tate on Sunday could open the door for more targets moving forward. Tate is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, so with a bye week coming up that still leaves a few weeks where Jones will be the No. 1 target for Matthew Stafford and the Lions' pass-heavy offense. Considering the damage Jones was able to do at the beginning of last season, and the damage he has done the last few weeks, this news makes him WR2 material heading into Week 8 against the Steelers. Those in 12+ team leagues and beyond should be adding Jones this week even with the bye. Shallower formats can wait to determine how long Tate will be out, but any amount of time missed will make Jones startable in most fantasy formats.
