Julio Jones A WR1 Against Seattle
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Seattle Seahawks secondary in Week 1. Seattle ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so it is a semi-tough matchup. However, Seattle is a bit banged up, with Tre Flowers (ankle) and Jamal Adams (hand) nursing injuries. Jones is likely to draw the bigger Flowers on the outside, who did have three interceptions last year but was up-and-down in coverage. It's a matchup that Jones should be able to exploit and fantasy managers should expect WR1 numbers.
