Marvin Jones Jr. Week 8 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Oct 21st 2019, 1:01pm EDT

That's going to pad the stats a bit, eh? After his four-touchdown performance, Jones currently sits as the No. 16 wide receiver in PPR formats, ahead of his teammate Golladay. That doesn't even begin to tell the whole story, as his finishes this year are WR55-WR52-WR11-WR33-WR74-WR1. That's a rather large variety of outcomes, but he's been outside the top-50 more than he's been inside the top-30. He has seen at least five targets in each of the last five games, so he should at least be in the WR3/4 conversation most weeks, especially when it's a good matchup, like the one he has in Week 8 against the Giants. They've allowed 10 wide receivers to finish as top-40 options against them, including five of them to finish as top-16 wide receivers, including the Cowboys No. 2 receiver Michael Gallup who tagged them for 7/158/0. The bottom line is that this is no matchup to run from, especially if the Giants decide to shadow Golladay with Janoris Jenkins, though I don't think that happens. Jones obviously comes with some volatility, but he should be a startable WR3 in this game.
