Marcus Jones catches pass and records pick-six against Bengals

Marcus Jones continued to show off his versatility against the Bengals in Week 16. The rookie cornerback stepped up big on Saturday, registering 14 tackles, recovering a fumble, and returning an interception for a touchdown. He also got involved on offense, catching a pass from Mac Jones for a 15-yard gain.
Fantasy Impact:
Jones provides immense value for the Patriots as a motivated special teamer, talented cornerback on defense, and sneaky chess piece on offense. He has logged an offensive reception in three of his last four games, and on Saturday, he became the second player in NFL history to register a receiving touchdown, interception return touchdown, and punt return touchdown in one season. (The other: Deion Sanders.) Needless to say, while Jones might not be on the fantasy radar, he has quickly blossomed into a fan-favorite in New England.
