3. Marvin Jones-Cincinnati Bengals (28.7%)

Last year, many fantasy owners tried stashing Marvin Jones who was coming off a solid 2013 but was slowed by a foot injury to start 2014. Unfortunately for the Bengals and his owners, Jones never recovered enough to play even a single snap last season.

This year, though, he’s started strong with a growing role each week. He’s clearly emerged as Cincinnati’s second receiver across from A.J. Green and shown he can produce in that role. Last week he caught his second touchdown pass of the season as part of a five-catch, 94-yard game against the Ravens.

While the Bengals like to use a smash-mouth, run first approach when possible, they’re passing game has been productive enough early in the season to make Jones, Green, and tight end Tyler Eifert fantasy relevant.

This week, the Bengals host the Chiefs who have given up more fantasy points to wide receivers than any other team in the league making Jones a nice plug and play option based on his red zone presence and growing role in a solid offense.
