653 yards + 4 TDs last year
611 yards + 4 TDs this year (current pace)
As for Marvin Jones, didn't that guy supposedly leave so he could be a #1 option? Well he's been a massive free agent bust for Detroit. Since starting hot in his first 3 games last year, MLJ has a pathetic stat line:
57 catches
802 yards
5 TDs
114 targets (50% completion rate)
18 games
The fact that MLJ has needed more than a full season in the Lions pass-obsessed offense to produce these numbers is pathetic. For anyone that thinks MLJ has made up for this by being a deep threat, he has 0 catches over 40 yards this year, in 6 games. The Lions paid MLJ $40 million over 5 years...supposedly to replace Calvin Johnson. At this point, they may be better off trying to convince Calvin to come out of retirement.
