Marvin Jones active for Lions, fantasy owners against Eagles

Marvin Jones will play for the Detroit Lions Week 5 against the Eagles, take a look at his fantasy projections

Wide Receiver Marvin Jones is officially listed as active for the Detroit Lions Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite being hampered by a foot injury, Jones will be on the field as a top target for the Lions. With other weapons for Matthew Stafford sidelined due to injury, Jones should definitely see the ball thrown his way early and often against the Eagles’ secondary.

Marvin Jones should see his production hold steady, if not increase, in Week 5 due to the team being without tight end Eric Ebron.

Fantasy Projections: Outside target Marvin Jones is officially listed as active for the Detroit Lions. Dealing with a nagging foot injury, Jones will not let that stop him from stepping on the field Week 5 in an NFC showdown against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. For fantasy owners, Marvin Jones will be a solid play as a WR2 or Flex against the Philadelphia corners.
