Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons

DraftKings Price: $9,300
Projected Points: 17.1

After having the offense firing on all cylinders in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, the Atlanta Falcons will look to keep their unblemished record (2-0) pristine in a road matchup against the Detroit Lions.

The Falcons have a solid 26.75-point implied team total and are 3.0-point favorites despite being on the road. The Lions are also going to be playing on short rest after they battled the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.

Julio Jones has looked incredibly dominant through the first two weeks even though he's not being peppered with targets. For the most part, he just hasn't had to be used the way a true superstar gets used. Things could change in Week 3, as they are not only on the road but facing a Lions team that should be able to hang with them for most of the game.

Jones looks every bit as explosive as he did in 2016. He has 174 receiving yards on just 9 receptions, and as long as the game stays competitive, we think Jones is in a great spot. Our models project him for 17.1 points on DraftKings, which honestly might be his floor.
