2020 NFL Week 17: Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings | Marvin Jones Jr. highlights
JANUARY 4, 2021 • YOUTUBE
Goes off against Vikings Jones caught eight of 11 targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 37-35 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Finishing out the year as the alpha receiver in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), Jones' big day could have been huge had a third touchdown not been overturned by replay. The Vikings' young corners simply had no answer for the strong rapport between Jones and quarterback Matthew Stafford. While missing out on that third touchdown (from 30 yards out) was extra disappointing since it would have gotten Jones to 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns on the year, there's at least no doubt that Jones is still near the top of his game despite approaching his 31st birthday in March. Now entering the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, it's possible we could see the veteran change teams this offseason, especially with Detroit - in the market for a new GM and head coach - possibly on the verge of a full-on rebuilding period.

Three targets Saturday Jones caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Neither Chase Daniel nor David Blough showed any ability to push the ball downfield to Jones after Matthew Stafford (ankle) exited at the end of Detroit's first possession. With the offensive line struggling to protect and Stafford possibly sitting out the season finale against the Vikings, Jones will be fighting an uphill battle as he tries to close out his season on a high note next week.

Dominates target share Jones corralled 10 of 12 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 46-25 loss to the Titans.
Impact Jones has proven himself as a high-floor fantasy asset with Kenny Golladay (hip) sidelined, but during Week 15, the 30-year-old established his second-highest receiving output of the 2020 campaign. An opening-drive TD catch gave Jones his seventh of the season, pulling him to within three of a career high (10) heading into a Week 16 home game against the Buccaneers. Atlanta's top receiver, Calvin Ridley, exploded for 10 catches, 163 yards and a score against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Held in check by Green Bay Jones caught four of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.
Impact Yet again the alpha receiver with Kenny Golladay (hip) shelved, Jones was held in check by a respectable Green Bay secondary, and no Detroit receiver topped 66 yards despite playing from behind most of the game. As Golladay didn't practice in any capacity last Friday, it seems there's a good chance that Jones will continue to operate as the No. 1 wideout in Week 15, but his upside will be severely capped if Matthew Stafford (ribs) is forced to miss time.

Huge outing with Golladay shelved Jones reeled in eight of 12 targets for 116 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.
Impact With Kenny Golladay (hip) unavailable for a fifth consecutive contest, Jones cruised past his previous season high in receiving yards (96) while notching his sixth score of 2020. He's averaged 5.8 receptions and 70.8 yards per contest over his past five appearances sans Golladay. By contrast, with the Pro Bowl receiver active Weeks 4 through 8, Jones recorded just 2.8 catches per game while enduring two separate outings of less than 10 receiving yards.

Can't do much with volume Thursday Jones caught six of 12 targets for 48 yards in Thursday's 41-25 loss to the Texans.
Impact Despite leading Detroit in catches and targets, Jones finished third on the team in receiving yards as he wasn't able to turn his volume into any splash plays. The veteran wideout has piled up 28 targets over the last three games, but his role could shrink in Week 13 if Kenny Golladay (hip) is able to return for a road clash against the stingy Bears defense.

Long touchdown negated by penalty Jones caught four of six targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss to Carolina.
Impact Again serving as the clear No. 1 wideout in the absence of both Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip), Jones was close to having a big day had a 51-yard touchdown not been called back due to an illegal offensive formation penalty. Without a long-range score, Jones had a hard time finding the painted area, as Matthew Stafford's thumb injury played a role in Detroit never reaching the red zone, which is where Jones caught three of his four touchdowns over the previous three games. Jones will at least have a solid chance to rebound in Week 12 against a Texans defense allowing the sixth-most yards per pass attempt (7.8) in 2020.

Ready for Sunday Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Jones started the week as a non-participant before upgrading to a limited practice Thursday and a full session Friday. He had his best game of the season last week against Washington, and he should be busy again with fellow wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola both ruled out due to hip injuries. Meanwhile, QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) is expected to play, though he's officially listed as questionable on the final injury report.
