Julio Jones 2019 Outlook
After a bumpy 2018 offseason in which his contract became an issue, GM Thomas Dimitroff reiterated in January that "we'll take care of that business, and that will be done. ..." Wise choice. Jones caught 113 passes for a league-best 1,677 yards and eight touchdowns in 2018. His 138 receiving yards against the Buccaneers in the season finale marked the 10th time Jones surpassed the 100-yard mark on the campaign, breaking his previous franchise record of nine games with 100-plus yards which he set in 2015. In 2017, Jones led the Falcons with 88 catches for 1,444 yards and three touchdowns. He became the first player in NFL history with three games of over 250 receiving yards, when he caught 12 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 win over the Buccaneers in Week 12 that year. In his eight total seasons in the league, Jones now has 698 receptions for 10,731 yards and 51 touchdowns. Assuming the contract remains a non-issue, not even a change of offensive coordinators (with Dirk Koetter returning to Atlanta to take over for the fired Steve Sarkisian) should cause any downturn in Jones’ production this season.
Julio Jones 2018 Outlook
Jones wasn't on hand when the Falcons opened their off-season workouts, just days after Falcons photos were deleted from his Instagram page, fueling speculation of unrest between Jones and the team, and quickly drawing the attention of Fantasy Nation. The team said the vanishing photos had more to do with Jones wanting a "fresh start" on social media than anything else. One source told ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure that the Instagram issue was Jones’ effort to set an example for Alabama players. Instagram aside, the five-time Pro Bowler signed a five-year, $71.25 million extension ($47 million guaranteed) in August 2015 and still has three years left on the deal. Team officials have said they feel it is important to have Jones healthy this offseason to put in the practice time with Matt Ryan, but Jones has put up monster seasons in the past regardless of his off-season efforts. Also, Jones is spending time this offseason working out with Hall of Fame receiver Terrell Owens. Don't let the "drama" throw you here, folks. As Fantasy Pros' Andrew Swanson wrote: "Jones looks like a top-5 fantasy asset, he runs top-5 fantasy asset routes and plays in an offense that should feature him predominantly in the passing game." Lack of touchdowns has been an issue, but Jones was heavily targeted in the red zone last season. Expect him to close the deal when those opportunities arise in 2018.
Julio Jones 2017 Outlook
Jones, who underwent minor surgery to remove a bunion on his foot the first week of March plans to be ready for the regular-season opener in September. The injury nagged Jones throughout the 2016 season and caused him to miss two games. His practice reps were also limited late in the regular season, and the Falcons were even cautious with Jones during the postseason. Still, Jones finished with 1,409 receiving yards, second behind T.Y. Hilton of Indianapolis (1,448), but played two fewer games than Hilton. Jones caught 83 passes and six touchdown passes, tied for the team lead with Taylor Gabriel. From a fantasy perspective, Jones wasn't necessarily the dominant week-in, week-out force we expected last season as Matt Ryan had no shortage of targets and a willingness to spread the ball among them (he threw touchdown passes to 13 different receivers). While that is still a bit of a concern, the greater concern is the departure of OC Kyle Shanahan (now head coach of the 49ers). The good news? New OC Steve Sarkisian hopes to enhance one of the league's top offenses, and that could mean more red-zone touches for Jones. Last season, Jones had four red-zone receptions on just eight targets, scoring two touchdowns (out of six total scores). More TDs would obviously be a huge plus.
