We're talking about a guy who caught 20 balls in his rookie season in a team that just brought in two pass-catching RBs to join the locked-in Jalen Richard. Not all wide receivers are Julio "Fricking" Jones. As a generally favorite player for the Crimson Tide, Jones was the first freshman receiver to start in a season opener for the Tide, where Jones scored a 34-10 rout touchdown and caught 4 passes. The age defying machine. That a bad sign for a guy who will need to add touches and maintain his high efficiency to even match his draft position. It's not looking likely that Jacobs sees the 50-plus targets he deserves, which lowers him down the rankings. Kittle was the All-Pro tight end over Kelce, but that was due to his ability as a blocker. It's hard to go wrong with either Kelce or Kittle in your draft. Julio will Julio, until Julio isn't Julio. His low TD numbers are the only reason he isn't an automatic top-3 WR. Sure, Calvin Ridley is going to ascend, but a lot of his ascension comes from the missing targets from Mohamed Sanu. There are a lot of fantasy owners drafting Tyreek Hill over him, and while I understand the upside Hill presents on a weekly basis, Jones presents stability that Hill can only dream of. That usage edge is why Kelce>Kittle, but one of these years Kittle is going to find the end zone. Jones disappointed fantasy owners who spent a first-round pick on him in fantasy drafts in '17, when he scored only three touchdowns. The only thing keeping Kittle from being the first tight end drafted is Travis Kelce's equally rosy outlook. © Copyright 2010-2020 FantasyPros.com Beyond sports, Mayo covers everything from entertainment to pop culture to politics.
