And if he's not elite where is he ranked? What tier of players is he with?

All I know is I drafted him as my bye week receiver and I am very happy.

I have had him on the bench for three weeks sitting him for Julio,Arob, and Jarvis. I don't know what to do because he's a stud

He isn't your next Julio Jones if you are asking if he is "elite", but he is most likely the breakout WR star of the season.

He has a real shot at top 10 WR numbers so take that for what it is worth.

I would trade Jarvis if you need an upgrade somewhere else or just hold him for bye week domination.

I'm not buying his production through three games, just don't think his talent translates to anything close the rest of the season. He made hay on some busted coverages against Green Bay. I'd consider him a prime "sell high" candidate.

ROS, I'd put him a notch below the Cooper, Decker, Cooks, Alshon, Benjamin tier. I think he, Travis Benjamin, Doug Baldwin will be closer in points at the end of the season. Could be wrong, but we've seen Marvin Jones playing ball for years against #2 corners. He is not as good as he's looked the first 3 weeks

I'd put him in the Alshon, DT88 tier if his targets continue. He's had at least 10 in each of the first three game. I don't think he finishes top 10, but top 15-20 is a possibility.


He may not have as much talent as the elites, but he's getting the targets and the quantity.

Lucky and elite aren't the same thing

I love how one player has an anomaly game and people project that as a regular game.

May be inconsistent but he has the targets, talent, and touchdown potential to have a career year. 1,000 yards and 10 plus touchdowns are looks like a real possibility.

Will he be elite? Well he doesn't have to be. Can he be elite? The opportunity is certainly there. Is he elite? No he isn't.

He's the #1 PPR WR through 3 weeks with 29 targets.

he's #1 guy in a better offense than what he was in, one that will throw it more than the Bengals by at least 100 attempts, prob closer to 150 attempts more.


he had 85 yards in GM1 and went over 100 in GM2. Yeah, he wont get 200 yards a game but the dude can play

See this is what I'm getting at. He won't put up that many fantasy points again but he's scored double digits in PPR scoring every week. If he scores double digits the rest of the 12-13 games he's top 15 at least.

If he scores double digits every game from here on out he may end up the number one wr. It's amazing how y'all think scoring in the teens is the norm in fantasy

Classic example of why I don't waste my time drafting backup QBs, TEs, or DSTs. He was the last man on my bench post draft and may end up a top 10 WR.

on sheer volume alone he will be relevant all year. It doesnt mater if he is the next Marvin Harrison or if he has a Pierre Garcon 2013 season (led league in targets, 113-1,346 ReYds)
