Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 7
By Nick Villano
Prediction #3: AJ Brown and Julio Jones break top ten in fantasy
Julio Jones finally returned for the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, and he helped his team beat one of the top teams in the conference. While it was a lot of Derrick Henry (as usual), Jones returned with one huge catch on a tipped pass, and he finished the night with three catches for 56 yards.
While that’s not a performance to go home about, A.J. Brown was really good for the Titans despite a struggling Ryan Tannehill. He had seven catches for 91 yards and helped set up Henry for big runs. This offense goes through the running game, but with Jones and Brown back together, there’s a chance these two could spur some offensive production from the passing game.
This week, the Titans are facing the Kansas City Chiefs, the cure for all passing woes. Their secondary is not having a good season at all, and their defense is allowing the second-most points to quarterbacks in the league. While they don’t give away a ton of points to receivers, the Titans aren’t really targeting the tight end as much and the Chiefs will be going all in to stop Henry.
Jones and Brown are too much for the Chiefs to handle. They will have monstrous weeks in what becomes a back-and-forth matchup. Both teams will score north of 30, and that will lead to huge days from both Julio Jones and A.J. Brown.
