Julio Jones, Roddy White, Matt Ryan's Post-Week 14 Fantasy Reaction

Julio Jones is starting to play his best football at the perfect time for his fantasy owners. 

As the fantasy playoffs heat up, so too does Jones. For the third straight week, he's scored double-digit fantasy points, and for the second straight week, he's exceeded a whopping 175 receiving yards, this time terrorizing the Green Bay Packers. 

In fact, Jones terrorized the Packers like he's never terrorized another team before, per Bleacher Report on Twitter:

That was also was the most any receiver has ever gained on Green Bay, per Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports:

The only thing that could stop him on Monday night was an injury that forced him out of action in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, he may have gone for 300 receiving yards.

Jones has had a bit of an up-and-down season for fantasy owners—he scored 10 or more points just three times in his first eight games—but he now has hit double-digit points in four of his past five games. Drafted as a WR1 heading into the season, Jones is absolutely living up to that designation now. 

Player	Receptions	Yards	TD	Targets	Fantasy Points
Julio Jones	11	259	1	17	31
Roddy White	3	42	1	5	10

Roddy White, on the other hand, came into the game slumping and was pretty quiet until Jones left with an injury. He's been pretty hit-or-miss all season long. While he has six games with nine or more fantasy points, he also came into Sunday with five games where he had fewer than five points. 

He's a flex consideration from week to week, but he's either helping your team or absolutely killing it. Can you afford that risk?

Matt Ryan offers a similar conundrum. While he's been fairly consistent (and blew up on Monday night), averaging 16.3 fantasy points per week coming into this game, he's scored 20 or more points just four times now this season. Starting a quarterback with a somewhat low ceiling generally isn't the route you want to go in the playoffs.

Ryan remains a QB2 with QB1 upside depending on the matchup. His owners will certainly be hoping he has a few more performances like this in the tank.

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy questions and tweet some corny jokes, too. It's more fun than a Colin Kaepernick press conference.
