Scouting report

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Los Angeles Rams
Last week he finished with eight receptions on nine targets for 108 scoreless yards, 25% of the team targets, and 31% of the team air yards.

Jones will look to put up another 100-yard performance against the Rams secondary who lost Aqib Talib to IR and traded Marcus Peters to the Ravens. The Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey but his status against the Falcons has not been determined. Monitor Ramsey’s status closely because he will likely matchup against Julio if Ramsey is cleared to play. The Rams are fifteenth best against wide receivers, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. This game has the highest over/under (54.5) of the week. 4for4’s rankings expert John Paulsen has Jones ranked as the half PPR WR1. Julio is a must-start this week.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Arizona Cardinals

Jones has turned in two consecutive poor fantasy performances. In Week 4, he was the half PPR WR37 against the Titans and the half PPR WR54 against the Texans in Week 5. Last week he finished with three receptions on seven targets for 42 scoreless yards, 15% of the team targets, and 27% of the team air yards.

Week 6 is a prime bounce-back spot for Jones in a game that has the potential to turn into a shootout. Also, the Cardinals are still missing two of their starting cornerbacks. Offenses playing against Arizona average the sixth-most plays per game, per Evan Silva and this game has the second-highest over/under (51). The Falcons are passing at the highest rate in the league, 72%. 4for4’s rankings expert John Paulsen has Jones ranked as the half PPR WR2. He is a must-start against a poor Cardinals secondary.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Houston Texans

Julio Jones had a forgettable Week 4 performance against the Titans. He finished with four receptions on seven targets for 52 scoreless yards, 13% of the team targets, and 22% of the team air yards.

Jones will look to bounce back against the Houston Texans who are fourth-worst against wide receivers, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. Jones is a high end WR1 as a road underdog (+4) in a game with a high over/under of 50 points.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Tennessee Titans

Jones is tied with Hilton for the most touchdowns (4) scored through three weeks. Against the Colts zone heavy defense in Week 3, he finished with eight receptions on nine targets for 128 yards, one touchdown, 26% of the team targets, and 46% of the team air yards. Jones is the Half PPR WR2 with 60 fantasy points. Keenan Allen is the WR1 with 73.2 Half PPR points.

The bad news is the Titans are ranked fifth best against wide receivers, according to our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert John Paulsen has him ranked as the Half PPR WR2. Despite the difficult matchup, Jones is a must-start across all leagues.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Indianapolis Colts

Mount Saint Julio exploded in Week 2 against a poor Eagles secondary. He finished with five receptions on 10 targets for 106 yards, two touchdowns, 23% of the team targets, and 33% of the team air yards. He tied Odell Beckham as the Half PPR WR2 with 25.1 fantasy points.

In Week 3 against the Colts, 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Jones ranked as the Half PPR WR3. The Colts defense schemes toward playing zone coverage so look for Jones to settle underneath the Cover 3 zone. Jones’ big play potential is hurt by the Cover 3 zone coverage but he is a clear fantasy starter against the Colts.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Like most of the Falcons, Julio had a forgettable Week 1. He finished with six receptions on 11 targets for 31 yards, 24% of the team targets, and 30% of the team air yards. He finished as the Half PPR W32 with 12.1 fantasy points.

Julio is a good bounce-back candidate in Week 2 because the Falcons are implied for 25.25 points at home and will face an Eagles secondary who gave up 380 yards against the Washington Redskins in Week 1. Additionally, the Eagles are ranked 7th worst against wide receivers according to our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert John Paulsen has Jones ranked as the Half PPR WR1. Jones is a must-start in every league format because Mount Saint Julio volcano could erupt.

ATL WR Julio Jones - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Minnesota Vikings

Julio Jones finished the season as the NFL’s top receiver in targets (170), receiving yards (1,677), air yards (2,420), and percent share of team’s air yards, 45.6%. In full PPR settings, Jones was the WR2, behind only DeAndre Hopkins, and the WR3 in half PPR settings, behind Tyreek Hill and Hopkins.

As of Thursday, there are mixed messages around Jones playing in Week 1. Jones said he didn’t know if he will play against the Vikings but also said he planned on playing. These messages are polar opposites but we will plan on Jones playing unless we hear otherwise before Sunday. The matchup will be tough for Jones, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric that has the Vikings ranked third best against wide receivers. 4for4’s rankings expert John Paulsen has Jones as the PPR WR6 in Week 1 with a median projection of 17.1 fantasy points. Jones is startable in every league format.
