Julio Jones broke out for 131 yards and two touchdowns on three receptions and 33 yards on two carries to lead the Falcons to a 31-7 victory over the Colts in Week 9.
Jones proved to be over his hamstring injury on a pair of explosive end-arounds. He first got on the board with a diving catch of a 50-yard bomb in triple coverage in the end zone before outracing the entire Colts defense for an 80-yard score on a slant. Now averaging 88.3 total yards per game, Jones is a viable WR2 option going forward. Keep him in the lineup for next week's game against the Saints.
he's already had a couple 100 yard games, hardly a break out. although the touchdowns are nice to finally see. he wasn't huge for TDs in college for some reason and i was getting worried it be more of the same in the nfl
3 receptions is kind of key here. Remember adding Harry Douglass 2 years ago and starting him after a similar performance opposite roddy? Worth picking up, but on a "normal" day 30 of those points are Roddy's and Gonzo's.

Oh I'm in a dynasty league, so I guess my opinion is a little skewed to rookies
