Julio Jones Salvages Week 16 Performance With A Touchdown
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) rescued what would have been a disastrous fantasy outing with a touchdown in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Coming into the game Jones had been questionable, but was active despite the Falcons season being in the doldrums. Jones was clearly not 100% as he was targeted just five times, compared to an average of over 10 per game in the rest of the season, coming away with 21 yards and the touchdown. Going into Week 17 Jones remains a hard fantasy player to ignore, but if you do have the choice and he is still limited it might make sense to look elsewhere in a game with little riding on it for the Falcons.
