Michael Crabtree had 3 times more 100 yard games in 2015 than Marvin Jones has in his career. Marvin Jones' only 100 yard game in his career is still that 4 TD game where he abused the crap out of that awful CB.
I disagree about the targets big time. In 2013 Marvin Jones was the 4th best rated receiver by PFF because he could get open and caught anything in his direction. (Didn't subscribe this year PFF went to hell but he did catch 70% of his passes.) Yes he had a 4 TD game but if you watch it he scored those TDs every way a WR can do it deep fade screen. He proved to be a redzone threat the entire year.
Marvin Jones has the size speed athleticism and route running skills to be a dangerous definitely worth 6+ mil.
Edit: He's not really worth the 6+ mil to cincy though because he's the 4TH target behind AJ Eifert and Gio.
