Marvin Jones missed the entire 2014 NFL season due to ankle and foot injuries. Thus, people have proceeded to forget that Jones is the No. 2 wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals’ depth chart.

With an average draft position of 142.5 and an owned percentage of 26.1 percent, Jones is likely available in your league—whether it be via a late draft pick or the waiver wire.

Jones burst onto the scene in 2013, recording 51 receptions for 712 yards and 10 touchdowns opposite A.J. Green. Now 25, he’ll return to being one of Andy Dalton’s top options.

Tyler Eifert could take away from his targets, but Jones is the very definition of a low-risk, high-reward selection.

As a member of your bench, Jones is the type of player with whom you manage matchups. He’ll benefit from Green facing double-teams and elite cornerbacks, which makes him a perfect situational lineup pick.

A likely scenario: Jones emerges as a true No. 2 receiver on a team that isn’t afraid to air it out.
