Is Julio Jones playing tonight vs Chiefs in Week 4?

Julio Jones joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers amidst much fanfare in the offseason. He was once among the best wide receivers in the league only a few years ago, but he has had a few bad campaigns. The former Atlanta Falcons receiver joined the Buccaneers in the hope of landing his first Super Bowl ring.

Unfortunately for Jones, injuries have plagued him over the past few seasons. Still a threat in the endzone, Buccaneers fans are hopeful of him being a solid WR3. Their offense already boasts the likes of stars such as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Whether or not he'll be fit for his side's tie against the Kansas City Chiefs today remains up in the air. The wide receiver was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before resting on Friday. Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles on Friday said that Jones remains a "game-time decision" ahead of their SNF tie.

Julio Jones Fantasy Football update and predictions

Despite missing the majority of last season to injury, Julio Jones looked sharp during his Buccaneers debut. He recorded 69 receiving yards and 17 rushing yards before suffering a knee injury and showed that he still has the talent to be a potent threat.

His constant injury woes, though, make him a difficult choice when it comes to picking him for your fantasy football team. If you want to add a Buccaneers wideout to the mix for Week 4, Russell Gage would be a much better bet. Especially given his start against the Green Bay Packers last gameweek.

The NFC side now have the services of veteran wideout Cole Beasley, who they recently signed as a free agent. This season marks the controversial wideout's 11th season in the NFL. Beasely has built a name for himself as an excellent slot receiver over the years and recently came in clutch multiple times for the Buffalo Bills. Before that, he impressed with the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he spent seven seasons.

Now 33, Cole Beasely, much like Julio Jones, is entering the twilight years of his career. One can be assured that both wideouts will be giving it their all this season in search of their maiden Super Bowl ring. It will be interesting to see if they are successful.
