Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons

FanDuel Price: $9,300
Projected Points: 20.40

Julio Jones is in a great spot this week against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing wide receivers this season. With the highest over/under (53.5) of the week, this game figures to be a shootout, which plays in Jones’ favor.

After leading the NFL with 204 targets last season, Jones has only averaged 6.5 targets through the first two weeks, meaning he is due for an increase.

As I mentioned earlier, the studs are guys who don’t even need a plus-matchup to be successful, but Jones gets an added boost here. None of the Saints’ top three cornerbacks rank better than 90th at their position according to Pro Football Focus.
