2. WR Julio Jones, Falcons

Week 14- Dec. 9

Per PFF, the Packers gave up the most fantasy points per route in 2017 and no one is celebrating more than Julio Jones’ fantasy owners.

In fact, no receiver loves torching Green Bay’s secondary more than Jones. He’s coming off back to back 100-yard games vs the Packers looking to make it three in a row in just a few months. He almost single-handedly eliminated them from 2016 playoffs after catching nine passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns.

Arguably, Jones’ best game of his career also came against Green Bay in 2014 when he hauled in 11 catches for 259 yards. A game the Packers somehow still won.

Kevin King saw some success as a rookie when facing Jones on a few plays, but we will see how he does lining up across from Atlanta’s go-to target for a full 60 minutes.
