Marvin Jones – WR, Detroit Lions

Jones is a steady, sure-handed veteran receiver but has also emerged as an above average run-blocker for the Lions this season.

In the final year of his contract, Jones has seen his productivity dip this season, and the Lions might be willing to take whatever they can get while Jones would likely welcome a fresh start to audition for one last big-money contract this offseason.

Over the past four years in Detroit, Jones has caught 227 passes for 3,464 yards and 28 touchdowns, while catching just 14 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown through five games in 2020. Pro Football Focus lists Jones as the No. 96 ranked receiver in the league, but he is one year removed from the third-highest graded season of his career.

In the interim, Jones has the chance to be an upgrade over Golden Tate, who has largely been a non-factor this season with 19 catches for 156 yards.
