Marvin Jones Jr. Week 11 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Tue, Nov 17th 2020, 1:18pm EST

So, in his toughest matchup of the season, against the league's No. 1 defense against fantasy wide receivers, Jones racks up eight catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Makes sense. He's scored four touchdowns in his last three games, and has accumulated at least 13.0 PPR points in each of the last four games, which is almost always enough to get a receiver into the top-36 for the week. With Golladay looking iffy again this week and Danny Amendola injuring his hip last week, the Lions are short on pass-catchers. It also doesn't hurt that Jones played nearly half of his snaps in the slot in Amendola's absence. This should lead to a big target share for Jones, which is important against the Panthers. There have been six wide receviers who've seen double-digit targets against them this year, and each one of those receivers finished with 19.7 or more PPR points. In fact, any receiver who's seen more than five targets has finished as the WR42 or better. The issue has been volume for receivers, as they've seen just 20.2 targets per game against the Panthers. On a per-target basis, they've been pretty average against them, allowing 8.07 yards per target and a touchdown every 22.4 targets. With the targets so concentrated to Jones, he should be played as a solid WR3 with top-15 upside this week.
