Despite missing a good chunk of the season due to a knee injury, Jones' PPG average would have put him into near WR2 territory in standard leagues. Although it's clear Jones is about to take a backseat to Golladay in the passing game and he struggled to connect with Stafford consistently last season, Jones is only a year removed from a breakout 2017 season where he finished as a WR1. The offense coming over to the Lions this year is based on multi-receiver sets, and Jones should have enough chances to return value in 2019.
A big play threat when he's on the field, Jones should see a decent chunk of target share, with enough to approach 45 receptions. The loss of Golden Tate leaves a huge void, and Golladay and Jones should form an effective duo. Jones has typically been familiar with the end zone (he had 5 touchdowns in only nine games last year, and led the team with 9 in 2017), so it would seem his standard league value is much better than his PPR.
Jones has a history of being a productive fantasy receiver on a moderate volume, so don't overlook Jones. His shortened 2018 season and ascendance of Golladay is sure to make many owners forget about Jones, but don't hesitate to add him as a depth with upside.

 Matthew Stafford ruled out for Week 10
Back injury, Jeff Driskel will start
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 10, 9:00 am
|  | Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford has fractured bones in his back and doctors will not let him play today vs. Bears, per source. Jeff Driskell starts for Detroit. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This move lowers the ceiling on Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and all of the Detriot pass catchers. Driskel is a QB2 in a matchup on the road against the Bears.
