2024 RTSports Outlook

Jones started much of the season for the Jaguars but had his worst season in several years. He was just 57th overall in fantasy receiver scoring. He had one 100-yard game, but topped 50 yards just three times. He didn't get near the targets of the last few years with the Jaguars adding more talent in the passing game. Jones is 33 years old and his production has dropped in recent seasons. He is more of a depth player at this stage of his career. He should serve that role with the Lions this season, backing up their young talent. Jones uses his size well and has good leaping ability for the position. He has plus hands and runs good routes. He has struggled with drops at times but has been better in that area later in his career. Fantasy Outlook:   Jones might have a hard time getting as much playing time this year. He is going to be really hit or miss. He could have a big game or two, but will be a stretch for fantasy teams to roster. He could get 30 receptions for 400 yards and a couple scores.

Player Notes
Oct 25 11:10am ET

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. announced on Tuesday that he was stepping away from the team due to personal family matters. Jones was then released by the team. "To be brief, I am stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters," Jones wrote in part in an Instagram post. "Although this was no easy decision, I cannot be the person/player that I need to be for this team as well as tend to my family from afar." The veteran pass-catcher did not travel with the team to Baltimore in Week 7 and had very little production to begin the season, catching five passes for 35 yards on 10 targets. The 33-year-old didn't mention anything about retirement. The former fifth-rounder has played in 151 career games and has 547 catches for 7,421 yards and 58 touchdowns. With Jones out of the picture, Kalif Raymond could have a bigger role as wideout depth in Detroit.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. announced on social media that he is stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters. Jones didn't travel with the team to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 7 and will now be away from the team for the foreseeable future. The 33-year-old veteran had not seen much of a role in the offense through six games, catching five of his 10 targets for 35 yards. In Jones' absence, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond could be on the field a bit more behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds in Detroit's receiving corps. Fantasy managers that were stashing Jones in really deep leagues can go ahead and drop him now.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. (personal) is not traveling with the team to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 7 and has been ruled out for Sunday's game for personal reasons. Jones has been well off the fantasy radar this year in his return to Detroit, as he's caught just five passes on 10 targets for 35 yards and no touchdowns in six contests. The 33-year-old has been buried on the receiver depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond. His absence on Sunday shouldn't have a notable impact on the Lions offense one way or another in a tough matchup against the Ravens on the road.
