Fantasy Football: 5 Bold Predictions for Week 5

Julio Jones Will Score 2 Touchdowns

If you pay much attention to fantasy football, you have definitely heard that Julio Jones doesn't score a lot of touchdowns. Even casual football fans have probably heard by now that Jones has precisely zero touchdowns through four weeks of NFL action, and particularly with the way it juxtaposes with rookie teammate Calvin Ridley's handful of touchdowns over the past few games.

With 502 receiving yards, Jones is on pace for a record-breaking 2,000 receiving yard season and easily the best zero-touchdown season of all time. But that's not going to happen because this week Julio is going to score a pair of touchdowns.

The Atlanta Falcons play the Pittsburgh Steelers in what figures to be yet another high-scoring affair this Sunday. The Steelers' pass defense has been burned repeatedly this year, allowing the seventh-most net yards per pass attempt and the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts (almost 40 per game).

What makes me so sure about Julio finding the end zone -- twice -- in this one is that the Steelers are bleeding receiving production on the left side and the middle of the field, allowing 8.69 and 10.21 yards per play, respectively.

Since Week 2, Julio has seen 20 of his 27 targets come when he lined up on the left side of the field. He's positioned perfectly to hit the Steelers where they're hurt and will finally break his touchdown drought in a big way.
