Julio Jones Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said that none of the team's players will be off limits, including quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones, when the club hires a new general manager. "Who will come forward with a plan for us to have a championship team, a competitive team, et cetera. And that may include Matt and Julio for now, for the next two years, three years, or may not. I have no idea," Blank said. Ryan was the MVP in 2016 but will be looking for a bounce-back year in 2021 if he remains with the organization. Jones has been one of the top receivers in the NFL since he entered the league, but he was banged up for most of the 2020 season and Calvin Ridley is slowly emerging as the new No. 1 after gaining 1,374 yards in his third season.

As expected, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is inactive for the team's season finale against the Buccaneers. Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage are both strong fantasy options with Jones sidelined. Still an elite wideout when he plays, Jones will end the season having played just nine games and failed to reach 1,000 yards for the first time since 2013. 2021 will be his age-32 season and Jones might slide a few spots down draft boards because of injury concerns, but he can still be a fantasy WR1.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Jones has missed the last three games with a nagging hamstring injury and has been unable to practice since the sessions leading up to Week 13. A report came out indicating that Jones would like to suit up again this season, though that's looking increasingly unlikely as long as he remains sidelined at practice. If the All-Pro can return even in a limited fashion, it would give him a chance at suiting up in the season finale against the Buccaneers. At this point, it might be in the best interest of the team to shut Jones down for the final game and get him healthy for 2021. Stay tuned for updates.
