The Atlanta Falcons’ superstar wide receiver made fantasy owners, coach Dan Quinn and Matt Ryan all happy with his performance in Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Jones and Ryan combined for a 500-yard outing, while Jones brought in 12 receptions for 300 yards. Both were franchise records, and Jones’ 75-yard touchdown reception came in the fourth quarter. He caught the ball at the 35-yard line and weaved his way through Carolina’s secondary for the score. Jones was involved on all five touchdown drives in the Falcons’ 48-33 win. Atlanta improves to 3-1 on the season, and is now first in the NFC South Division.
Jones has 22 receptions for 488 yards and three touchdowns after four games.
