BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: One very bad thing happened on Week 4 for Marvin Jones Jr.: while he should have been elevated with Zay Jones (ankle) inactive, horrid weather and Trevor Lawrence's turnovers entirely killed his already diminished (just played 14 of 47 team snaps) upside.
This past Sunday, though, we got to watch the proper Jones once more. So much so that Jones Jr. led the Jags in targets with 11 against the Texans catching seven of those for 104 yards over the full match. The result: 17.4 PPR points in what marked a season-high tally for MJJr.
The truth is that this type of Jones might not really hold over time. That said, we're discussing WW targets here so you won't find any buried Justin Jefferson lying around, will you? Jones was good for some reasonable 7.8, 6.3, and 13.3 (WR36 overall in that Week 3 slate) fantasy points in the prior games to his 0.0 dud from W4.
Perhaps the best of all is the clear development showcased weekly by sophomore QB Trevor Lawrence. Yes, the five turnovers from Week 4 sucked, and it's not that he was incredible this past Sunday (12.3 FP) but he's getting there and his first three games of this year saw him throw just one INT against six touchdowns for a total 58.1 total FP and a per-game average of 19.4 FPPG.
Jones should keep his production up to something in the 8-to-12 PPR-clip going forward. Not the worst option available in most leagues to slot in at WR3/flex.
