Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 11
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: Marvin Jones Jr. $6,400
Marvin Jones Jr. has been one of the most consistent wide receivers over the past month. That’s probably surprising since the Detroit Lions aren’t in the headlines very often, but look at his points over the past four games.
Jones scored 19.6 Fanduel points against Washington (one of the better secondaries by points allowed in the game), 11.8 against Minnesota, 17.4 against Indianapolis, and 10.5 against Atlanta. He’s been scoring double-digit points at all turns, yet he’s still just $6,400.
Prior to the past month, Jones struggled a lot. His average per week is still low. This is going to help players get a huge value.
Jones hit a season high with ten targets last week. Stafford is starting to feel the chemistry with him. The quarterback has been very hot lately. Stafford has 300 yards in three of the last four games, and in two of those games, he had three touchdowns. The Lions have been passing more since the defense is having trouble stopping the other team.
Jones is going to have ample opportunity this week. The Panthers are falling apart with five straight losses. They allowed 46 points to the Bucs last week. McCaffrey is more than likely going to be out. Teddy Bridgewater might miss the game too.
This could be a points fest for the Lions since the defense will constantly be on the field. The secondary survived early in the season, but its lack of talent is shining through. This will give Jones the ability to dominate.
