He had seven 1,000 yard seasons, including six straight years from 2014-2019 during which he and Antonio Brown went back and forth as the best wideout in football. It would be the cherry on top of a stellar career.Ī true Falcons franchise icon, Jones nearly saved the Falcons from their tragic Super Bowl collapse in 2016 with arguably the greatest Super Bowl catch of all-time. Jones may yet earn a Super Bowl ring this year should his current Philadelphia Eagles team win it all in Vegas in February. After ten years with the Atlanta Falcons, he has since been with three teams in as many years.

There are plenty of other players in the league today that are more than likely to be wearing a gold jacket when all is said and done-but there are only 10 that are sure-fire Hall of Famers already. A player must have been retired for five consecutive years in order to be eligible for induction.īecause of that, the 2028 induction class in Canton, Ohio is set to be one of the best, with NFL legends such as Tom Brady and J.J. To put it into perspective, there are currently 1,664 players on active NFL rosters in 2023, not even considering those on injured reserve or practice squads. There are currently only 371 HOF members, despite the NFL having been around for over 100 years. While winning an MVP or Super Bowl is the pinnacle in terms of trophies, this alone does not guarantee you the Hall of Fame. If its a start 2 WR league, no sense in having someone like TY on the bench when you should have been able to get RB1 value after week 6 or 7 when he started finally putting up numbers.For the majority of NFL players, getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is the ultimate achievement. I suppose we could have a scenario where he could have two starters he would "rather" start than Julio, but those situations are few and far between indeed.ĪND- If I had his particular scenario, I would have traded TY Hilton long ago for solid RB value, and then I'd be starting Julio and ODB and be loving life. He went in the early 4th round in that league. Hell I could have had DeAndre Hopkins instead of Cobb. I took Julio #1 overall as I mentioned above. This could have been even stronger had I not taken Cobb at pick #20. In one 10 team league (start 3 WR) I own Julio, Randall Cobb and Allen Robinson. I'd rather take a slightly lower output with very high upside than to risk losing a close one because I benched him.Ĭlick to expand.I have no dog in your two's discussion, other than I side with always starting Julio.īut I would like to point out, that sometimes these unbelievably strong combinations can happen. I'm not going to be that guy who whines all offseason "Man I never should have benched Julio Jones in week 14.how could I have done that". (I do play in start 3WR leagues it should be noted, no way I will ever bench him there) Lets face it, the guy got me to the playoffs, and I won't be benching him. I know he is up against Norman twice in the immediate future, but it wouldn't surprise me if he gets 2 TDs this week either. I don't have the exact quote in front of me. He said something to the effect of "I don't know whats going on down there". Not to mention he grumbled a bit this week about why he wasn't getting anything in the redzone. Oh- also note that this has been a very "slow" last 2 weeks, he could easily be #1WR at this point. I don't much care how others manage their teams, and I suppose you *might* be in a position to bench him.īut if you think you can, (and get away with it) then like the above poster said, more power to you. seasonTotals=true&seasonId=2015&slotCategoryId=4 The guy is tied for #4 WR in fantasy, with a mere 8 points separating the entire top 5. I have Julio in 3 leagues, and picked him at #1 OVERALL in two of those leagues.
