4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 3
Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons
FanDuel Price: $8,700
Projected Points: 17.2
Sticking with that Saints-Falcons game, which has the second-highest over/under of the week (52.5 points), Julio Jones will be in a great spot to post a big day for Atlanta. He has been targeted 28 times already this season, and now gets a matchup with a Saints defense that has given up the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in the league.
Since these two teams are in the same division, we also have a solid sample to look at how Julio has done versus the Saints recently.
| Year | Week | Rec | Yards | TD |
| 2017 | 16 | 7 | 149 | 0 |
| 2017 | 14 | 5 | 98 | 0 |
| 2016 | 17 | 7 | 96 | 1 |
| 2016 | 3 | 1 | 16 | 0 |
| 2015 | 17 | 9 | 149 | 0 |
| 2015 | 6 | 6 | 93 | 0 |
| 2014 | 16 | 7 | 107 | 0 |
| 2014 | 1 | 7 | 116 | 0 |
The one touchdown in eight games does stand out, but the lack of end zone success is something we've become accustomed to with Jones at this point. Outside of that one-catch, 16-yard performance in Week 3 of 2016, Jones averaged 7.0 catches for 115.4 yards in the 7 other matchups.
Coincidentally, that one-catch performance came on a week when the Falcons' star receiver missed practice time due to a calf injury, which also happens to be the case this week. But he appears to be in line to play this week, so don't miss out on this excellent matchup.
