5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 10

Julio Jones Is Averaging 8.6 Fantasy Points Per Game

After finishing among the top-10 wide receivers in terms of standard fantasy points per game during each of his first six seasons, Julio Jones is currently sitting on the WR2 bubble. He has been held to single-digit points in six of nine games, and has even struggled to consistently produce in PPR leagues dating back to last season.


Jones' lack of fantasy success is largely linked to his lack of touchdowns. He ranks inside the top-12 wide receivers in targets (76), receptions (49) and receiving yards (715), but has found the end zone just once all season. Touchdowns have consistently been an issue for him throughout his career -- he has only reached double-digit touchdowns once, but his pace of 0.1 touchdowns per game this season is the worst of his career.

Our models project Jones to see the most (13.21) targets of any wide receiver in Week 11 against the Richard Sherman-less Seattle Seahawks. That provides him with a great opportunity to turn his season around, but with the Atlanta Falcons implied total at just 21.00 points, we project him for just 0.4 touchdowns.
