Had him on my watch list since after the game last week. Decided to get a bit hectic and cut bait on Hakeem Nicks this morning and picked up Marvin Jones and plugged him in before the early games started.I have waited on this guy in quite a few dynasty leagues.
Good to see he is FINALLY showing some value and rewarding his loyal followers.
He was a Waldman guy.
as an AJ Green owner, I'm having difficulty not having these thoughtsKind of want him to break his leg
I kind of want you to get diabetes.Kind of want him to break his leg
Well, pat your self on the back because no one else is going to.I started him ....yippeeee
This is his third solid outing in a row. It's starting to be less than fluky, and more what one would call the emergence of a young but gifted wide receiver in a prolific passing offense.A little fluky but I'll take it!
Yup. The stars aligned today for what is probably a career-game, but he's been trending upward anyway.All of the above.Fluke performance or a startable WR going forward?
He's still tough to believe in as a regular starter with Green, Gio, Eifert and Gresham on the team.He inexplicably fell in the draft and was touted by Bloom and Waldman. Many thought he would overtake Sanu last year easily, but when he finally got on the field he fought knee and shoulder injuries. Today's performance was a fluke in terms of TDs, but he's clearly become a favorite target of Dalton--just as he was starting to at the end of last year--and in the last three weeks has gone 3-71, 4-57, and 8-122 with 6 touchdowns on 5, 6, and 8 targets. He's made many extremely acrobatic catches, gets red zone looks (obviously) and isn't simply catching garbage yards. Seems like a great person to plug into your WR3 spot.
"I didn't want to start 2 WRs on the same team"Guy in my league picked him up earlier in the week then cut him like 2 days later, I guess due to injury he had. As an AJ Green owner I opted not to grab him even though I could use a shot in the arm for my team of underachievers. Was not keen on idea of starting 2 WR on same team. Boy was I wrong. Guess this is why I'm on my way to a 3rd straight loss and a 3-5 record.
me too.. between him and Andre Ellington.. the WW is keeping my team atop the rankings haha<-- started him
4 TDs = flukeAll of the above.Fluke performance or a startable WR going forward?
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/10/28/pff-reaction-blog-week-8-2/- The craziest thing about Jones being able to pick up 122 yards is that he did it running just 13 routes. That’s 9.38 yards per route run with 84 of them coming against rookie Milliner.
I didn't realize he'd done that much damage on just 19 snaps. I picked him up today as a flex option for Week 9. Three weeks is a pretty big sample size when you're talking about nearly a third of the season played thus far. He seems like he could have Andre Ellington-like potential.From Rotoworld:
Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals
Marvin Jones played on just 19 snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Yes, Jones had four touchdown catches and 122 yards while playing on 32.7 percent of the offensive snaps. It's a reminder that although the second-year man is far better than Mohamed Sanu and is a legit red-zone threat, he's not a true No. 2 wideout. Over the last three weeks, Jones has played on just 69-of-206 snaps (33.4 percent) and now talented Andrew Hawkins is eligible to return from short-term IR. There are going to be a lot of duds for owners chasing Jones' impressive box scores from the past three weeks.
What? They keep getting the limited chances until they keep getting the limited chances? So what happens when they keep getting the limited chances?These situations with backup TEs/WRs like Reed, Cruz, Laurent Robinson and Williams is that they keep getting the limited chances until... they do.
I read that through and edited before you posted, but the point is don't hold back because they're getting limited snaps and it looks fluky; games like this lead to larger roles.What?

Bengals ran a lot of running plays after the half and they benched their starters at the end of the 3rd. Not surprised that Marvin on played in 32.7 percent of the snaps. He is obviously one of Dalton's favorite targets, and has came up huge for the Bengals the past 3-4 weeks.I didn't realize he'd done that much damage on just 19 snaps.

Go Bears!Listening to Bloom, he talked about Keenan Allen, Jordan Reed, Kenny Stills, Marvin Jones. Think I'm gonna stop listening and hear him/take action instead.
Grabbed him off the wire this week only to "play it safe" and go with Hartline.
P.S. ... and yes. I will keep you updated on my team.
Is Sanu going to be out?Folks gonna chase those 4 TDs or believe that this has Eddie Royal written all over it?
You obviously can't expect 4 TD games, but I certainly wouldn't liken his situation moving forward to Royal's after his big week.Folks gonna chase those 4 TDs or believe that this has Eddie Royal written all over it?
I think the talent is there to be a must add, but there's enough Eddie Royal-ness that I will not be spending big FAAB (or #1 waiver) to get him.Folks gonna chase those 4 TDs or believe that this has Eddie Royal written all over it?
