The Falcons have made Julio the focal point of their offense and he has become the league leader in receiving yards, receptions, targets, 20-yard catches, and receiving first downs. Yeah, he’s having a good season.
The Bears haven't been too bad on defense and rank 17th in receiving yards allowed per game. However, they rank as only the 24th-best defense against fantasy receivers. Their big blow came against the Green Bay Packers, allowing four touchdowns to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.
Fantasy impact: You’re obviously starting Jones and he’s probably the top option the rest of the way. If you want to sell high, you probably should be asking for literally any player you want. Jones is for real and he just needs to stay healthy to finish this season as a top-three receiver.
