Julio Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Don't count on him returning for Sunday morning's game vs. the Seahawks. Julio Jones and Scotty Miller wound up splitting #3 WR duties for Tampa last week.

Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It looks like he'll remain out for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. With Gage out last week, Julio Jones operated as Tampa's #3 WR, posting a 57% route rate and 2-21-1 line on 4 targets.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's tilt with the Ravens, HC Todd Bowles said.

Tampa could certainly use him with WR Russell Gage out, but Jones would be tough to trust in season-long lineups in his first action since Week 4.

Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. He hurt a hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Panthers and seems unlikely to play vs. the Ravens on Thursday night. That potentially opens up the #3 WR job for WR Julio Jones (knee), who put in a limited practice on Tuesday. We'll get Tampa's final injury report on Wednesday afternoon.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. Jones did get back on the practice field this week, so perhaps he'll be able to play in Week 8. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage will continue to serve as Tampa's top 3 WRs this weekend.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) put in a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see if he suits up vs. the Panthers on Sunday for the 1st time since Week 4, but Jones shouldn't be in your fantasy plans.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. He hasn't played since Week 4 and is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He’ll miss his 2nd straight game and 4th total on the season.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The 33-year-old's body just can't hold up at this point. Jones is not a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues.

ESPN's Jeff Darlington reports that Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) will not play vs. the Falcons today. Darlington also confirms that WR Russell Gage (back) will play. Jones' absence locks Gage in as Tampa's #3 WR behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that the Bucs "hope" WR Julio Jones (knee) will play vs. the Falcons today, "but he'll work out pregame to determine his status." We'll get Tampa's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but we'd try to avoid a less-than-100% Jones in fantasy lineups.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. We’re expecting Jones to play but be 4th among Tampa WRs in playing time. He ran a route on just 30% of pass plays last week.

Bucs WRs Russell Gage (hamstring), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and WR Julio Jones (knee) are active for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. They all figure to be operating at less than 100% – and it’s unclear exactly how snaps will be divvied behind WR Mike Evans. We’d try to avoid the 3 of them if possible, but Gage sits highest in the Week 4 WR Rankings. WR Breshad Perriman is inactive with his knee and hamstring injuries, while WR Scott Miller is a healthy scratch.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that the Bucs are "optimistic" that WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) will be able to play vs. the Chiefs tonight.

So we'd try to keep them on fantasy benches this week. This news makes WR Russell Gage a shakier Week 4 fantasy play but helps QB Tom Brady.
