Buccaneers sign WR Julio Jones to one-year deal

Jul 26, 2022

Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones is signing a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per source.

Related players: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage

Fantasy Impact:

The soon-to-be 45-year Tom Brady now will have a chance to throw to the 33-year-old Jones, Schefter pointed out. The Bucs do throw a lot but there will be a lot of mouths to feed in this offense. It could be insurance for Godwin returning to the lineup from injury as well. The biggest hit could come to Gage's targets and value, and, Jones, himself, may not see a ton of balls like potential owners were hoping for. Still, there is definitely some value for Jones and his owners.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
