Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is a rare breed of NFL superstar. The only thing more impressive than his work ethic is his consistently elite production on the field.
Jones finished the 2019 season with 99 catches, 1,394 receiving yards and six touchdowns. It was the sixth year in a row that Jones went over the 1,300-yard mark. Will the Falcons’ All-Pro wideout keep the streak going in 2020?
According to the fantasy football experts over at The Huddle, the answer is yes. The site’s 2020 projections have Jones pegged as the NFL’s No. 4 receiver in terms of overall points (191.1), the No. 3 WR in terms of total yards (1,370) and tied for the third-ranked receiver in projected touchdowns (9).
The Huddle calls Jones one of the “safest bets” to be a top-five fantasy wideout.
“Jones is probably in the latter stages of his prime, but while he may not be the favorite to finish as the No. 1 fantasy receiver, he is one of the safest bets to finish as a top-five option at the position.”
Saints WR Michael Thomas (1,500 projected yards) and Packers WR Davante Adams (1,380 projected yards) were ranked above Jones. Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is projected to have less yards (1,350), but more overall fantasy points (201) than Jones.
