Two bests collide on Sunday when the best quarterback-wide receiver tandem in the league through four weeks faces the best defense against wide receivers, at least in fantasy terms, when the Falcons travel to Denver.
Matt Ryan and Julio Jones top the leader boards in passing and receiving yards thanks in large part to a 300-yard game against Carolina last week. The Broncos, meanwhile, are inching their way once again to the top of the league leaders in passing defense (they currently rank second in ypg), and are dominating opposing wide receivers in the fantasy world. Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.com says Jones is still a start this week, but not in DFS games.
If you’re less worried about the fantasy implications and more concerned with the win-loss column in the standings, Bryant McFadden of 120 sports says it will be the running back duo of Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman that will be the difference for Atlanta against a Broncos defense that is allowing 113.8 yards per game.
