Draft Note by Spencer Babbitt
Week 3 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Julio Jones's 6-128 line on eight targets in Week 2 should have been even better but he was robbed of a red zone touchdown by a dubious replay review where the officials ruled his heel was on the line in the back of the end zone when he caught the pass. Nevertheless, Jones had a strong bounce back performance in Seattle following a disappointing Week 1 debut. Jones (8) trailed only A.J. Brown (9) in targets, and Jones was much more efficient with his opportunities than Brown's 3-43 line. In Week 3, Jones and the Titans will host the Colts, whose secondary has been burnt by the likes of Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, and Cooper Kupp to open the season. Jones's production in Week 2 should be closer to what we should expect going forward with a disastrous Week 1 looking like an anomaly rather than a sign of persistent issues. Fire Jones up as an upside WR2 in Week 3 vs. Indy.

Draft note
Jones played at a 91-1371-5.3 pace in nine games last season. His 85.7 yards per game were the sixth-most at his position, so the 32-year-old can still play. Receivers changing teams often disappoint compared to previous production, but Tennessee has 18.7 vacated targets per game up for grabs after losing Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith and Adam Humphries, so there is plenty of usage available in this offense. As the 16th receiver off the board in the early fourth round, this is as late as Jones has gone in fantasy drafts in years.
