Julio Jones Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones turned 13 targets into seven catches for 78 scoreless yards in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although the Buccaneers have performed poorly against the pass for the majority of the season, they have been better as of late and somewhat held Jones in check for much of the day. Since Calvin Ridley went down for the season, Jones has absolutely dominated the Falcons passing targets, and he was a stud in the fantasy playoffs. Heading into 2020, Jones will be 31 years old, but he's been fairly durable over the last few years and doesn't look like he's slowed down at all. Jones should be considered a high-end WR1 in 2020 drafts.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) has been held out of practice so far this week and his status for Week 17 against the Buccaneers is currently in question. If he misses the game, Matt Ryan takes a small hit, while Austin Hooper, Russell Gage and Devonta Freeman would get a boost. If Jones is active for the game, he's an absolute must-start for league championships given that he's caught 23 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks. He's been targeted a whopping 35 times the past two weeks.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones caught 10 of his 15 targets for 166 yards on Sunday during the win over Jacksonville. Jones had his best performance of the year from a yardage standpoint and did so while reaching 12,000 yards faster than anyone in league history. His lack of scoring consistently has plagued him all season, but after having some solid performances over the last two games, fantasy managers could quickly learn to look past that. The Falcons will close out the year against the Bucs in Week 17, with Jones going for 68 yards on five catches against Tampa at the end of November in the first meeting of the season between these two clubs.
