The only way Sanu is versatile in the respect that not only is he strong and big, but he's slow and drops a ####load of passes too.

I missed the TD that got called back. How can I view video replay of that play? TIA.

Props to Waldman who has always been a big fan of his since he was a rookie. Everyone always rags on his misses but he has a good eye for talent. Can't estimate heart/attitude/dedication which at times leads to some whiffs.

I feel ya on that one... the pumping fist slowly transformed into a palm for face. Great play though, his acceleration on runs after the catch is top notch.

Marvin Jones - WR - Bengals
The Cincinnati Enquirer believes Marvin Jones could be in for a "massive spike in production."
Yes, the Bengals are implementing a run-centric scheme under new OC Hue Jackson. But there's still room for Jones' production to jump because he played on just 48.0 percent of the snaps last season en route to a 51-712-10 line. This year, he's expected to push for at least 80 percent of the snaps as Mohamed Sanu has been turned into a strict slot receiver. Jones' 11th-round ADP is appetizing.

Is that the same Rotoworld sourced from Cincinnati Enquirer who said the Bengals plan to emulate the 49ers and Seahawks just moments before they posted that? Dont those teams have a run focused offense with a WR2 with no better than average stats? Yup sounds like Rotoworld for ya.

I'm really high on Marvin Jones and have always liked his talent going back to his days at Cal Berkeley. Of course Green will continue to be force fed the ball and Jones targets have only so high that they can go, but I think he's going to continue to be a red zone target. He's got the frame and box out ability to grab contested throws in traffic down low. Jones is highly underrated in fantasy, and I recently acquired him in a dynasty trade giving up Dobson and some spare parts. The point is, the Jones owner feels he upgraded to get Dobson and he is a Brady owner. But I think Jones floor and ceiling are way higher than Dobson, who is one of many rotating options in that high power Patriots offense. Cincinnati will be a high scoring offense and Hue Jackson is a very creative coordinator who likes to dial up all sorts of trick plays to get the ball in the end zone. I expect Marvin Jones to have a big year.

@JayMorrisonCMG: #Bengals WR Marvin Jones broke his foot at Saturday's practice. Screw inserted. Will be out for several weeks.
ooooooof!
ooooooof!

@JeneBramel: Marvin Jones: Broken fifth metatarsal and screw placement usually means Jones fracture. If that's case, 8 wks optimistic, likely 10-12 wks.

@JeneBramel: Bengals have about 3 wks to assess Jones' rehab/recovery before needing to decide whether he can stay on 53 or decide that IR/return better.

@SigmundBloom: First reaction to MJones being out is Sanu can get his foot in the door, but more interesting to me is Eifert becoming de facto #2 target

Sanu is not a factor. Eifert is the guy to own now that Jones is hurt.

about this? Julio Jones also had a Jones Fracture.

Well, sucks, but he is totally useless for this year.
Still a good guy to have for dynasty that you can get real cheap right now, and a fabulous buy low for anyone in a rebuild.
I am sure we some guys like Sjax, Dwill, Colston, Wayne.......................traded for him a bunch

In deeper leagues I'd look out for reports on Sanzenbacher in the slot. Always liked him.

He's a hard working team guy who's willing to go over the middle. Country strong.

Extensive typo then. Not sure it really matters that much but I've not been able to see any other news outlets repeating anything about the suspension, so it's probably a brain fart that wasn't picked up by the editor, maybe because they are being folded into usatoday
I can see why USA Today wanted to shell out the big bucks- hard to get top-notch insider info like that!

KFFL is a traveshamockery, but there's an outside chance the NFL suspended Marvin Jones for being injured.

I've been waiting patiently since before he got hurt. Expecting big things down the road. Hue Jackson's offense is one of the bettter run offenses in the NFL. I won't start Jones immediately after the bye, but I've got my popcorn ready.

Would you drop josh gordon for him?

He had a lot of touchdowns last year, but didn't have that many targets. Really came on down the stretch though.
I watched some highlights yesterday and they were a mixed bag. I didn't see him getting much separation, generally went down during or immediately after the catch, lots of body catching balls, didn't see him elevate or high point balls. On the plus side, he seems to have great hands, and used body position well to catch the ball in traffic. He has decent measured speed (4.46), but I didn't see him running away from people, or have much YAC at all.
Overall I was a little underwhelmed by what I saw, but it's hard to argue with the production. And he might be one of those guys who can be sneaky good because he doesn't need much separation to come down with the ball.

A lot of TDs but 4 of them came in 1 game. I played against him that week of course lol

Here's what he did in his last 5 games last year (after a stretch where he caught 4 balls in 3 games):
3-60-1
5-48-1
6-85-0
5-61-1
8-130-0
The last game was in the playoffs. That's a pretty good run.

Unless you have a really deep bench, an IR slot or are just one of the best teams in the league I'd get rid of Gordon. I'm not saying Jones is definitely that guy but are you telling me that once your playoffs start that you are just going to randomly start a guy like Gordon with a new QB, coach and coordinator? Maybe if I saw something great in week 12/13 or else I have some really crappy WRs!
Huh? Of course most teams are going to "randomly" start a guy like Gordon in the ff playoffs, assuming he's playing.

Like I said... You start him if you have other really bad options but unless I see something great in week 12/13 I'm going with a known commodity in the playoffs. And if you don't have other good options it's probably because you held a guy like Gordon on your bench for 3 months.
A known commodity like a guy that led the league in receiving yards in 14 games last year? Oh wait...
Gordon is better than whoever your FLEX or WR2 is.
This is not even a real debate. You start Gordon if he is playing. Maybe not the first week but definitely after that.
Honestly, it sounds like someone is mad because Gordon isn't on his bench.

Like I said, you start him almost automatically. The guy was the #1 FF WR in ppg last year, there isn't a team in all of FF who has better options. It's not like his arms fell off.
