BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The future Hall of Famer isn't done yet. After an injury-riddled final season with Atlanta and two disappointing seasons in Tennessee and Tampa Bay, many expected Julio Jones to call it quits, but the legendary wideout signed with the Eagles to continue his playing career.
This obviously isn't the same Julio Jones who averaged 1565 yards per season in his peak years from 2014 to 2019, and getting touches alongside A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith will be a very difficult task, but he definitely has a knack for showing up and making a contribution every once in a while.

After making his first catch as an Eagle in Week 7 against Miami, Jones made his only reception of Week 8 in the red zone against Washington, scoring an eight-yard touchdown that proved to be the difference in the 38-31 win.
The Eagles will play an extremely difficult schedule from Week 9 to Week 14, but by that point, Jones will have learned the playbook and will feature in a higher percentage of the Eagles' offensive snaps compared to his current percentage of 23%.
After that, we will be in the fantasy playoff weeks, and the Eagles will play the Seahawks (seventh most PPR points allowed to wide receivers per game), the Giants (17th), and the Cardinals (11th). If you are willing to be patient and are thinking ahead to the playoffs, Jones could be a good option, especially considering that he could get an increased workload with Brown and Smith getting some rest for the NFL playoffs.
