Julio Jones said he "doesn't know" if he'll play against the Vikings in Week 1.

In the words of longtime Falcons beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter, it was a bizarre scene. Ledbetter said Jones was "battling through something physical or emotional." Jones said he didn't know if he would play against the Vikings before then saying he "plans" to give it a go. He hinted at an injury issue beyond his contract situation. In other words, weird.

Per RotoWorld. WTF is wrong with these guys lately?

I drafted Julio at 10 and then AB at 11. It has been a tumultuous day to say the least.

No one is safe. Not one. I’m about ready to start drafting only first and second year players who aren’t jaded divas yet.

I had a lot of confidence he’d be a top 3 receiver if he played all 16 games and obviously he wouldn’t be there for my next pick so I pulled the trigger.

Antonio had 15 touchdowns last year. Lets not act like he doesnt still produce as an elite player.

He also had Big Ben last year and was in a better offense.

If he ends up playing he's going to put up numbers. Eleven overall is just to rich for me considering his off the field stuff and new team/offense. But, fantasy football is about having fun and if you want a player I guess you should just go get him. Hell, I drafted Kamara one overall just because I had so much fun with him on my team as a rookie.

Yes, but let’s also not act like guys provide fantasy points if they’re not on the field.

I think he was just questioning drafting him so high


Typically in the first two rounds, I take players with no/minimal risk

People get too caught up on ADP sometimes. When you are drafting at the turn you have to reach if you have guys you want.
It’s not like AB would be there 20+ picks later. He was most likely getting grabbed a few picks later and he wanted him so he reached. Not that crazy

Looks like he's getting his fat contract. All is well
