2. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons

Reception NEP: 148.18

In his first season with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, Jones set career highs in catches (136), yards (1,871), and targets (203). His receiving yards were the second most of all time and he tied Antonio Brown with the second most catches in a season. He added eight receiving scores and was second in the league in yards after the catch with 679.

Jones was the only player in the league with over 200 targets, and his 203 targets were the fifth most since 1990.

Confirming that he’s matchup-proof, Jones caught 16 balls for 266 yards and a touchdown in two late-season meetings with Josh Norman and the Carolina Panthers, who were the second-best pass defense this year.
