The 10 Best Wide Receivers for the 2014 Fantasy Season
7. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons
| Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 91.1 | 1,339.57 | 9.42 | 189.93 |
Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons believe their wide receiver is 100 percent ready to go after an injury-shortened 2013 season. This bodes well, as the very talented, yet injury-riddled player enters his fourth NFL season.
The Falcons lost Tony Gonzalez after the future Hall-of-Famer retired. Gonzalez had 82 receptions on 120 targets last year. This is good news and bad news for Jones. The bad news is that teams can now focus more on Jones and Roddy White. The good news is that those targets have to go somewhere, and Iām willing to bet the Falcons are going to try their hardest to get them to a supremely talented Jones.
Let's remember that Jones was off to a blazing start in 2013, too. In five games last year, he had 41 receptions, 580 yards and 2 touchdowns ā a line that would have extrapolated to the number one fantasy scoring wide receiver. This is the reason we, and many others, rank him so high; the potential is astronomical.
