Julio Jones owners can breathe a sigh of relief: The Atlanta Falcons receiver has found the end zone.
Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY Sports
He finished with nine catches for 99 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night in New England. Jones faces the Jets this week so, yeah, you might want to start him.
Also near the top of our rankings are Antonio Brown traveling to Detroit and A.J. Green playing at home against the Colts.
Jarvis Landry is rapidly approaching the top 10, even with a not-so-favorable matchup with the Ravens on Thursday night. On a related note, it looks like DeVante Parker will be a game-time decision after he was limited at practice on Tuesday.
Lastly, keep an eye on Emmanuel Sanders, who has a “chance” to play this week, and Bennie Fowler, who would be Trevor Siemian’s No. 2 wideout should Sanders not play.
