1. Marvin Jones, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

If Marvin Jones is somehow still available in your league, grab him. He signed with Jacksonville for a two-year, $14.5 million deal to be the veteran presence that this receiving group needed. He’s immediately become a favorite target of rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Regardless of what team Jones has been on, he’s been productive and consistent. Aside from 2018 where he was injured, since 2013 he’s had no less than 50 catches in a season. There’s no reason to think he won’t exceed that number this season.

It is a crowded wideout room in Jacksonville with D.J. Chark and Laviska Shenault, but Jones has already established himself as a trusted target of Lawrence.

Get Jones on your roster and watch the catches come in as Jacksonville will be playing from behind quite a bit, meaning production for Lawrence’s favorite target.
