Julio Jones Announces Retirement

Friday, April 4, 7:32 PM

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has officially announced his retirement. The Alabama product had an incredible run as a Falcon, with whom he spent nine seasons before serving three consecutive one-year stints with the Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Jones tallied 914 receptions, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns in 166 career games. The 35-year-old is the author of the third-highest single-season receiving yardage total of all time and ranks No. 16 on the all-time list of most receiving yards in a career. Jones was a spectacle on the field, with a rare blend of size, speed, and physicality that sought to give any defensive back fits. The former sixth-overall pick of the 2011 draft holds an excellent case for becoming a member of the Hall of Fame.

Jameson Williams Showing More Than Big-Play Upside

Friday, August 28, 9:31 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is finishing training camp looking more like a complete fantasy option than simply a big-play specialist. Williams set career highs with 65 catches for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns on 102 targets last season, his second straight 1,000-yard campaign. His development this summer has gone beyond running past defensive backs. Jared Goff has praised Williams' improved feel for coverage and space, while Detroit's camp reports have highlighted him winning on comeback routes and working different levels of the field. That showed up again this week. Goff hit Williams for a deep touchdown during Wednesday's first-team work, then connected with him three times on Thursday's opening 99-yard scoring drive, including a fourth-down touchdown against tight coverage. Williams also appears past the minor shoulder issue that cost him two practices earlier this month. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Isaac TeSlaa will keep Detroit's targets spread around, so weekly volatility remains part of the profile. Still, Williams is entering Week 1 with a broader route tree and plenty of momentum. RotoBaller currently ranks him WR23 in half-PPR.
