Julio Jones Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been held out of the end zone since Week 3 and held under 60 receiving yards in two of his past three games. The Falcons have been spreading the ball around more this year, heavily integrating tight end Austin Hooper into the offense. But make no mistake, Jones is still the team's unquestioned No. 1 target in the passing game, and it's one of the most productive passing games in the entire league. Jones might have some down games with his target share decreasing from previous years, but he'll still produce solid numbers more often than not. Look for him to catch about six or seven passes for around 100 yards with a good chance to score this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a solid bounce-back game in Week 6, catching eight passes for 108 yards against the Cardinals. Given the favorable matchup and his underwhelming outputs the previous two weeks, Jones's 108 yards without a score in Week 6 might not fully please his owners, but it was a solid day nonetheless, especially in PPR. The Falcons' passing game has been electric all year and quarterback Matt Ryan hasn't been force-feeding Jones by any means. Tight end Austin Hooper has taken a big step forward with his role in the passing game and led all Falcons with 117 receiving yards in Week 6. Jones and the Falcons are now 1-5 after their loss to the Cardinals and will host the Rams in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) sat out Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday, but there's little indication that his availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals is in question at this point. Jones has been a bit underwhelming the past two weeks, totaling seven catches for 94 yards, but this week's matchup against a dreadful Cardinals secondary that is lacking star cornerback Patrick Peterson should help turn things around. The Falcons should be throwing the ball a lot on Sunday, so expect Jones to catch at least five or six passes for around 100 yards or more with a good chance to score.
