Six catches, 205 yards and two touchdowns. That was the stat line for Detroit Lions receiver Marvin Jones Jr. on Sunday during a 34-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

How good was that career night? As a rookie with the Bengals in 2012, it took him 11 games and 18 catches to total 201 yards -- and he only had one touchdown back then. Even last season he had just 816 yards receiving on 65 catches. (Welcome to Detroit.)

Seemingly out of nowhere, he has back-to-back 100-yard games -- that should be good for his cardboard, which is pretty plentiful from that rookie season.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown will be trading in his cleats for Dancing With the Stars soon and that's perhaps what prompted this tweet on Thursday.

Or maybe he's just taking over the Skittles beat from the retired Marshawn Lynch?

Sorta legit collecting question: What might something like this sell for at auction if "show-used"?

Super Bowl MVP Von Miller. UFC fighter Paige VanZant. Pittsburgh Steelers receiving machine Antonio Brown. Former CFL/NFL star and Heisman-winner Doug Flutie.

What do they have in common? They'll all be Dancing With The Stars when the show premieres for yet another season on March 21. 

A fourth of the dozen teams competing on the ballroom dancing competition come from the sports world, and, because of trading cards, they just might be the targets of the show's fans who want a collectable of their own.

One of the biggest football auctions of the year is set for Friday and Saturday as Hunt Auctions continues its traditional Super Bowl sale.

The Super Bowl 50 Live Auction will be at the Moscone Center in San Francisco with more than 900 lots including modern-day game-dated memorabilia like the J.J. Watt Houston Texans gamer above -- a jersey with a hefty price already in early bidding -- and pieces from football's early years. too.

Because of its high profile as part of the NFL Experience show, prices can be pretty strong once the auctions close.

The NFL's postseason kicks off with four games this weekend and it seems each of them have players to watch when it comes to collecting football cards.

Here's one player from all eight teams Buzz says could be of interest -- some obvious, some not.

J.J. Watt -- The Houston Texans' defensive dynamo and part-time tight end is basically a household name with his bloody noses and his Papa John's commercials, but when it comes to autographed Rookie Cards he might be overvalued. He's one of very few defensive stars to really get attention when it comes to cards, so it would take a monster game against the Chiefs to make those Contenders Rookie Cards even better buys. Sorry for the bad news there. (Maybe him being able to successfully complete a pizza curl in a follow-up Papa John's commercial would help?)

The Dallas Cowboys' QB put up impressive numbers in a game that was never even close -- but they still count.

Kellen Moore threw for 435 yards and three touchdowns (also throwing two picks and losing a fumble) in a 34-23 loss to Washington on Sunday, marking the end of a dismal season for the Cowboys and his last chance to make an impression on collectors before Tony Romo returns from injury next season. He ends the year with just four TDs and six picks since he only played in two other games this season -- all losses.

Will a game like this breath some long-term life into his 2012 Rookie Cards? Probably not, but it's a reminder that a good game can bring the spotlight to anyone in any week in the NFL -- so he gets the nod here.

It doesn't take much for a running back to establish himself quickly these days -- and it doesn't take much for one to fade into obscurity, either -- but one started that two-part journey with a big arrival game of sorts under the Sunday Night Football spotlight.

It's Arizona's David Johnson, who ran for a league-leading 187 yards and three touchdowns in a 40-17 win over the Eagles.

It was his third straight week of 92 yards or more but he'd gone scoreless in those other games, leaving him off Buzz's radar -- also probably since he's a Cardinal, not on a team that gets much hobby attention. You can find his RCs throughout this year's NFL lineup from Panini America and Topps. For the season, he has 517 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Jeremy Langford might not be the Bears rookie that many thought would be stirring things up in Chicago, but in Week 10 he was just that with 20 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown as well as seven catches for 109 yards and a score. On the season, the fourth-rounder out of Michigan State has four rushing touchdowns and 225 yards -- most of that in the last two weeks. when Matt Forte has been out due to injury. Could the Bears have a new option here on offense? Sure seems like it.

As one of our five players to watch this weekend, we told you to keep an eye on Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota in his return to the starting lineup.

He delivered, throwing for 371 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-28 win over the New Orleans Saints -- his best performance in six games this season. In fact, that upped his touchdown total for the year to 12, which is tied for the most for a rookie QB in franchise history. (Vince Young's mark will fall this week unless the undefeated Panthers throw a shutout.)

We all know that Mariota's cardboard was going to remain expensive no matter what happened as he's one of the premiere players in this year's rookie class. With a game like that, though, any jitters people had about digging in on his cardboard likely vanished.
