Lions' Marvin Jones expected to be shadowed by Vikings' Xavier Rhodes
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones is expected to be shadowed by Minnesota Vikings corner Xavier Rhodes in the two teams' Week 4 matchup.
What It Means:
According to ESPN's Courtney Cronin, Rhodes will mainly shadow Jones but could also see time on Kenny Golladay. That means that Rhodes will stay on the Lions' outside receivers while Golden Tate faces some combination of Trae Waynes and Terence Newman in the slot.
Through 3 games, Rhodes has allowed just 10 catches and 103 yards to a trio of top NFL receivers. Fittingly, Jones is projected for 3.2 catches, 50.2 yards and 8.2 FanDuel points at $5,700 on this week's slate.
