Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons

FanDuel Price: $8,300
Projected Points: 15.8

With Julio Jones dealing with a nagging toe injury late in the season, the bye week was a big help, and he is expected to be fully healthy for this game.

I already mentioned that Ryan is set up for a big day against the Seahawks. That puts Jones, who led the Falcons with 24.34% of their targets this season, in line for a big day as well. That is exactly what happened back in Week 6, when Jones caught 7 of his 9 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown against a Seahawks defense that still had Earl Thomas.

In the last four games of the regular season without Thomas, the Seahawks gave up the second-most passing plays of 20-plus yards of any team. That bodes well for Jones, who ranked second in the NFL in plays of 20 or more yards this season.

The Falcons will also be playing this game at home, where Jones averaged 17.47 FanDuel points per game over the regular season, helping make him a great option to pair with Ryan this week.
