Julio Jones Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones has already established a rapport with Tom Brady. During Wednesday's joint practice session with the Miami Dolphins, the duo continued to look in sync, with Brady connecting with Jones on a well-placed deep ball. Fantasy managers were undoubtedly let down by the veteran wideout over the last few years. However, with arguably the greatest signal-caller ever targeting Jones throughout the season, he should have more than enough chances to get back on track, despite guys like Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Leonard Fournette looking to stay involved.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting veteran wide receiver Julio Jones involved a lot in training camp practice right away. Quarterback Tom Brady has connected with him twice in red-zone passing drills in practice on Thursday. Remember, Chris Godwin (knee) isn't on the practice field yet despite avoiding the Physically Unable to Perform list. When all of Tampa's wideouts are healthy, Jones will be competing with Russell Gage for No. 3 duties behind Mike Evans and Godwin. The 33-year-old veteran looked done in Tennessee last year, but much of that had to do with lower-body injuries that Jones has dealt with in recent seasons. He'll surely have his moments with Brady in 2022 and he has more upside with the Bucs than he did with the Titans, but Jones is an injury risk that will most likely produce inconsistent results on a weekly basis.

Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, according to a source. Quarterback Tom Brady gets another new weapon before the 2022 season. Jones, who has missed 14 games the last two seasons due to various injuries, will give Tampa a bit more receiver depth in case Chris Godwin (knee) isn't ready to go by Week 1. The 33-year-old veteran looked close to the end in 2021 with the Tennessee Titans, averaging 43.4 yards per game to finish with 31 catches, 434 yards and one touchdown in 10 games played. If healthy, Jones could be a reliable pass-catching option for Brady, but with Mike Evans, Godwin and Russell Gage in the mix, it might be a stretch to think that Jones will suddenly be an every-week fantasy starter again in 2022.
