Marvin Jones Jr. News
According to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. (undisclosed) is on the non-football injury list. The 33-year-old inked a one-year deal to return to Detroit after playing in Jacksonville for the last two seasons. He finished with only 46 receptions for 529 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, some of the lowest marks of his career. That said, since the reason for Jones' absence hasn't been made public, it's unknown if he'll be ready for the 2023-24 campaign. However, he isn't expected to be a consistent fantasy producer even if he's on the field, although he should benefit from a Lions' high-powered offensive approach.
Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is expected to sign a one-year, $3 million deal worth up to $5 million with the Detroit Lions, according to a source. Jones spent the last two years with the Jaguars, but before that he played in Detroit from 2016-20. In 16 regular season games (10 starts) for Jacksonville in 2022, he caught 46 of his 81 targets for 529 yards and three touchdowns, numbers that all represented his lowest marks since his rookie season in 2012 with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 33-year-old had his only 1,000-yard season with Detroit in 2017, but fantasy managers should probably expect numbers more in line with his 2022 campaign in 2023. Jones figures to see infrequent work in Detroit this time around behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and second-year wideout Jameson Williams.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught only one of his three targets for 21 yards in Saturday's 27-20 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. The experienced wideout has been an inconsistent option all season with him being behind Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Evan Engram in terms of Trevor Lawrence's go-to options in the passing game. After combining for four receptions, 50 yards, and a touchdown in this year's playoffs, Jones' future with the Jaguars is unknown as he is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is set to enter his second stint with the team after two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he could be as high as the No. 2 passing option during the Lions' first six games. Sophomore wideout Jameson Williams will miss the first six weeks due to a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, so Jones will have to compete with Josh Reynolds, Tom Kennedy, Kalif Raymond, and Sam LaPorta to be the next guy in the target pecking order...
