If you had Julio Jones on your fantasy football team today ...
Congrats to you if you have Julio Jones on your fantasy football team. Jones killed the Carolina Panthers and after a 75-yard catch and run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter he reached 300 yards on the day.
Jones goes in the books for the sixth-most receiving yards in NFL history for a single game.
- Flipper Anderson – 336 yards in 1989
- Calvin Johnson – 329 yards in 2013
- Stephone Paige – 309 yards in 1985
- Jim Benton – 303 yards in 1945
- Cloyce Box – 302 yards in 1950
Box was a halfback so technically, this is the fifth-best game ever for a receiver.
Jones is a monster. If you have Matt Ryan on your fantasy team you're doing even better because he's thrown for 503 yards.
