Best Pick: Julio Jones
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been a superstar in fantasy football for years now, and 2017 isn't going to be any different.
In 2016, Jones missed two games due to injury but still finished sixth among wide receivers in half-PPR (point per reception) scoring. On a points-per-game basis, he ranked fourth among wideouts, despite finishing with 53 fewer receptions than he had in 2015.
Jones also scored just six touchdowns in 2016, and there's reason to believe that he's due for some positive regression in the touchdown department.
The all-time leader in receiving yards per game looks set to have another monster season.
