Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones is expected to miss six weeks for the Bengals after breaking his foot in practice Monday.
Giants, Buccaneers Favored to Land 49ers' Alex Boone
FOX Sports 1's NFL insider Mike Garafolo reports that Jones broke his left foot during team practice on Monday and is expected to miss at least six weeks after coach Marvin Lewis said it would only be “a couple of weeks”.
Jones had a pin inserted into his fifth metatarsal; the injury is eerily similar to the one teammate Mohamed Sanu suffered in 2012. Sanu missed an extended period of time.
Jones is currently the No. 132 player in fantasy football and is being selected around the 11th round in most standard leagues. If you select Jones or have selected him already you want to monitor his status closely. Jones should drop into the 13th through 15th round area while a bump in stock is to be expected for Sanu as he not among the top 200 players in fantasy.

Jones is also the No. 51 wide receiver in fantasy and was going to be looked at as Andy Dalton’s No. 2 receiver behind the dominate A.J. Green. Green should get a rise in stock as well as if his ceiling couldn’t get any higher.
Bengals' hope right now is to have WR Marvin Jones back after their Week 4 bye. If it happens, he returns to play v. the Patriots on Oct. 5.
