Julio Jones Fantasy Football Outlook (2022)
By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 1st 2022, 10:27am EDT
Julio Jones had a season to forget in 2021. The 33-year-old dealt with several injuries and finished with a career-low in yards per route run (1.84)
Although his yards per route run still ranked 25th overall.
And when you sample the six games of healthy Jones - over a 50% snap share - he averaged 2.18 yards per route run and 22% target share. The yards per route run mark would have ranked top-10 last season.
Jones averaged 11.7 PPR fantasy points per game in a super run-heavy offense. Essentially backend fantasy WR3 range.
And that's where Jones should be valued heading into the 2022 season as the newest member of the Buccaneers.
If - big question - he stays healthy, the efficiency in a pass-heavy offense led by Tom Brady will lead to fantasy weeks of production.
