Atlanta Falcons: WR Julio Jones

It has been eight years since his first 1,000-yard season and Julio Jones is still the engine at the heart of the Atlanta Falcons offense. Since 2014 he has had no less than 83 catches and 1,394 receiving yards, setting career highs of 136 catches and 1,871 yards in 2015 along the way.

There may be other receivers that garner more media attention or hype than Julio but no one has more catches or yards than him over the last five years. Where he falls short and has become the subject of some cruel memes is in receiving touchdowns but he is still in the top 10 of that category over that span.

The Falcons finished the season strong as six of their seven wins in 2019 came in the least eight weeks of the season. They were at one point, inexplicably perhaps, a 1-7 team but ended the season 7-9 and have a great deal of momentum coming into 2020.

If they are to challenge for the NFC South title they will need Julio Jones to be at his best but thankfully for them that has been a near certainty for almost a decade.
