Contents

2018 Fantasy Recap
Tier | FPTS 2018 | Rating | GP | SNPS/G | TGT | REC | TGT/G | YDS | 100+ YDS | YDS/REC | TD | Yahoo PTS/G |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 212.8 | 99 | 16 | 51.1 | 170 | 113 | 10.6 | 1,677 | 10 | 14.8 | 8 | 16.8 |
Julio Jones finished with his second highest yards in a season, and also posted over 100 yards per game for the fifth time in his career. Jones led the league in targets (170), and also receiving yards. Jones was in the top 20 in average target air yards and had some of the best separation numbers in football. There is no signs of slowing down for Jones right now. It was also no surprise to see him have another strong season in addition to another Matt Ryan career year. 2018 was another big year for Jones, yet it seems most have gravitated towards the Hopkins, Adams, and Thomas crowd in terms of being the top fantasy wideout.
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Position Ranking | ADP | Auction Value | Bye Week | Receptions | Receiving Yards | Touchdowns |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
WR2 | 1.11 | $31 | 9 | 113.2 | 1,589.8 | 9.8 |
The Falcons bring a top five quarterback and wide receiver to the table in terms of projected fantasy points. Wideouts will have a top ten schedule against opposing secondaries this season, as if they need any help. The thing with Jones is that he is such an efficient route runner and also a nightmare to play against. He had 2.93 yards per route run last season, and was above 3.00 the season prior. Even at age 30, Jones is a safe bet for fantasy drafts.
While you may have concerns about his touchdown numbers, which always seems to be the case when discussing Jones, you really shouldn’t. His consistent yardage outcomes make him a top eight wideout each season. The only time he wasn’t that, was 2013 when he played just five games. In 2018, Jones led the league in TAY%, which is percentage of team’s air yards. Both him and DeAndre Hopkins were the only two above 40%. Jones has a lot of competition for a WR1 finish on the year, especially with a few newcomers and OBJ with a viable QB.

Draft & Auction Value
Julio Jones is likely going to be sitting there within the last few picks of round one, and you should feel completely comfortable with him in that spot. Especially if you can pair with Matt Ryan 5-6 rounds later. Jones at the moment is being taken as the fourth wideout off the board, behind Hopkins, Adams, and Thomas. Jones is also sitting in auctions right around the $30 mark, which isn’t surprising at all. There will be no discount despite Jones turning 30 and other wideouts creeping ahead of him.
