Five bounce back players for week 6 in fantasy football
Five bounce back players for week 6 in fantasy football
Julio Jones – It is a rare occasion that Julio would ever be considered a bounce-back play, but after two bad weeks in a row, it is time to mention him. He went from an average of ten targets during the first three games, too seven targets in the past two. Including the shootout between Houston this past week, where Matt Ryan threw three touchdowns, and over 300 yards.
One thing I always take with a grain of salt is the game log. This goes for any sport, but with NFL, and NBA as well, the game log can be your worst enemy. Don’t look and say oh well Jones hasn’t been able to do anything since week three, so he must be a bad play.
Arizona is about as good of a get right game as you will get as a fantasy player. They recently gave up a really big fantasy day to Tyler Boyd, who is nowhere near the same caliber of player as Julio. Arizona also plays at the fastest pace in the league, which means, plenty of scoring for their opponents.
I have no problem paying for Julio despite the recent form, as you saw last week, Thielen had some very bad performances, which dropped his ownership dramatically, and he put up a great game. The price is a little steeper for Julio, but his match-up and pure upside will outweigh the price tag, and the ownership will be very low on him.
