Jones finished the 2019 season with 99 receptions for 1,394 yards and six touchdowns.

He has led the NFL in receiving yards twice in his career (2015, 2018) and Moton believes he can do it again in year No. 10.

“With an uncertain workload for Gurley and tight end Hayden Hurst in his first year with the team after two seasons in Baltimore, quarterback Matt Ryan may lean heavily on Julio Jones in the passing game,” says Moton.

“Jones has led the league in receiving yards twice (2015 and 2018). He hasn’t shown signs of decline either, logging at least 1,394 yards in six consecutive terms. The seven-time Pro Bowler will deliver gaudy numbers with more targets likely coming his way.”

Moton’s prediction: 1,630 receiving yards.
