Julio Jones Fantasy Stats

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has officially announced his retirement. The Alabama product had an incredible run as a Falcon, with whom he spent nine seasons before serving three consecutive one-year stints with the Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Jones tallied 914 receptions, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns in 166 career games. The 35-year-old is the author of the third-highest single-season receiving yardage total of all time and ranks No. 16 on the all-time list of most receiving yards in a career. Jones was a spectacle on the field, with a rare blend of size, speed, and physicality that sought to give any defensive back fits. The former sixth-overall pick of the 2011 draft holds an excellent case for becoming a member of the Hall of Fame.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion following a hard hit in the second quarter of Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Before taking the hard shot that left him concussed, the 34-year-old veteran caught three passes for just 22 yards. The Eagles are also without top receiver A.J. Brown (knee), so DeVonta Smith, who leads the team with four catches for 100 yards, and tight end Dallas Goedert (three catches for 11 yards and a touchdown) should continue to be a big part of Philly's passing game as they look to come from behind to beat the Bucs. Quez Watkins could also get more involved through the air in the second half. If the Eagles come back and win this game, Jones could be unavailable for the Divisional Round in Detroit against the Lions.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones should see an uptick in targets in Monday's Wild Card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Star wideout A.J. Brown (knee) has been ruled out so the Eagles will need the veteran Jones to step up. The Philadelphia passing game will still heavily revolve around DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert but Jones could be a sneaky DFS play with the aforementioned players commanding the most defensive attention. On the year, Jones has an extremely modest 11 catches (19 targets) for 74 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games. He did haul in two touchdowns on two catches back in Week 16 so he could still be a solid red zone target for QB Jalen Hurts. Quez Watkins should also see some more looks but will likely cost a bit more than Jones in DFS lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones caught two of his four targets for 13 yards in the 27-10 upset loss to the New York Giants on Sunday in the Week 18 regular season finale. Philly's offense looked really bad to close out the regular season in a game in which both quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) and receiver A.J. Brown (knee) were injured. DeVonta Smith (ankle) was inactive, so the Eagles are now rolling into Monday's wild-card contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with questions surrounding their top two receivers. The 34-year-old Jones joined the Eagles midseason and played in 11 games, never catching more than two passes or going for more than 34 receiving yards in a single game. Depending on the health of Brown and Smith for the start of the postseason this weekend, Jones could be looking at an increased role, which could make him worth a look in DFS as a low-cost sleeper.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones will face off against the Giants in New York in Week 18. The veteran receiver has not had a huge role since signing with the Eagles earlier this season, but he scored twice last week against Arizona and could now see his role increase in the regular season finale. DeVonta Smith (ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Jones the clear top option to take over as the No. 2 receiver. Quez Watkins has played the slot role for the majority of the year, while Olamide Zaccheaus has been moved all over the formation. While fantasy managers can not count on Smith-levels of production from the future hall of famer, they can view Jones as a cheap dart throw with high upside in daily fantasy formats after he scored twice last weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones caught both of his targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns during the team's 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran has barely been involved since joining Philadelphia but was able to capitalize on both of his targets this week and find the end zone multiple times. He led the Eagles receivers in fantasy points this week and will be on the flex radar for those playing next week, with DeVonta Smith (foot) spotted in a walking boot and on crutches after the game. Quez Watkins should also see an increase in usage against the Giants. Consider Jones a boom-or-bust flex option when the Eagles travel to New York next week.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones had been limited in practice this past week due to a groin injury but was left off of the final injury report and will play Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran has not done much since joining the Eagles back in Week 7. Jones has failed to record a target in two of six games and has not reached double-digit receiving yards once this year. Olamide Zaccheaus and Quez Watkins will continue to rotate with the future Hall Of Famer as the No. 3 option behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Jones is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 14, especially against a Dallas defense that allows the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (groin) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jones apparently hurt his groin in the Week 13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and may need to sit out this upcoming game on Sunday versus the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. The 34-year-old veteran isn't really on the fantasy radar, though, as he's had a pretty small role in the offense since debuting for the Eagles in Week 7. In his six games played with Philly, Jones has five catches on eight targets for just 16 yards and one touchdown. If he is unable to get the green light to play this Sunday, Quez Watkins would be battling for No. 3 duties behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith with Olamide Zaccheaus.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (groin) did not take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Jones lost snaps -- he was out there for only 10 snaps -- to Quez Watkins in the Week 13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and could be in danger of sitting out this weekend's divisional tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles had been limiting the 34-year-old veteran in practices with a knee injury, but now he's listed with a groin issue. Even if Jones returns to practice later this week and is active in Week 14, he should be avoided in all starting fantasy lineups, especially with tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) set to return this Sunday. Jones has only five catches for 16 yards and one touchdown since joining the Eagles in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) has been removed from the injury report after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. He will play in Week 13 versus the San Francisco 49ers, though he remains off the fantasy radar given his role as the No. 4 wide receiver in Philadelphia. Look for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to lead the receiving corps while Olamide Zaccheaus plays a tertiary role.
