When the Tennessee Titans traded for Julio Jones, they created arguably the best wide receiver duo in the league. Now the Titans are projected to have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL.

All the way in on that.
A.J. Brown, Jones’ new teammate, is coming off his second consecutive 1,000-yard season and a trip to the Pro Bowl. Jones is coming off an injury-riddled season, but he is still Julio Jones, who is regarded as one of the receivers in the history of the NFL.
Although they will be on the same team, there will be an internal battle to see who will record more yards.
WynnBET has had odds up for who will lead the league in receiving yards and Brown and Jones have gone back and forth. A month ago, Brown had higher odds than Jones to win the receiving title (+3500 to +4000). Now, Jones has left Brown in the dust. Jones’ odds are set at +2000 while Brown is still at +3500. Those odds for Brown are actually good value.
Betting on Julio Jones is rarely, if ever, the wrong answer. However, my pick is with A.J. Brown this year. My pick is entirely based around Jones’ health. Jones is heading into his Age-32 season and is coming off a season where his hamstring was a major issue. Those two items are not a good combination.
Brown is also familiar with the system and Tannehill as a quarterback. Jones is good enough to make up for lost time, but Brown’s connection is already solidified.
Last year was a career year for Brown. Jones will act as a mentor for him, and I see Brown taking full advantage and becoming the clear No. 1 option.
