Julio Jones Proves His Top Fantasy Football Value Against Dolphins
Julio Jones continues to show this preseason how dangerous he can be. We break down the fantasy implications.
Presswire
Analysis: The night would have been even more notable for Jones if had held onto a would-be touchdown pass from Ryan that nearly slipped his grasp. It's clear the Falcons intend to take shots down the field for Jones often. They made a huge move to acquire him last year, and they will use him as much as possible in his second season. In their first preseason game against the Ravens, Jones was unstoppable. Ryan may not have the best deep ball in the league, but Jones is likely to come down with whatever is thrown his way. He has the skills to be a WR1 in 2012, easily ranking among the top 10 receivers.
