Making the Case to Draft Marvin Jones

Every year there seem to be a few tight ends that have a breakout season. In 2018 it was George Kittle and last year it was Mark Andrews and Darren Waller. This year there is a couple of intriguing options but one seems to rise above the rest that has the highest ceiling.

Washington Backfield Fantasy Breakdown Post Guice Fallout
Before Friday came around, all eyes were on Derrius Guice being the lead-man in Washington’s backfield. After tearing his ACL in his rookie year, Guice tore his meniscus in week one of the regular season but returned to get injured once again. Now, his problems have continued but this time they are off the field. He was charged with strangulation, assault and battery, as well as the destruction of property. Shortly after finding out this news, the Washington Football Team decided to release the injury-prone back. With Guice now out of the picture, the backfield takes a bit of a turn fantasy-wise. I’ll go through each option in the backfield and include their current ADP.
