Falcons WR Julio Jones sees limited snaps

Dec 26, 2016

Julio Jones didn't push his injured toe in Saturday's game versus the Panthers. The Atlanta Falcons didn't need him to, handling Carolina 33-16. The receiver was mindful of bigger games coming up on the schedule.

"I was good throughout the whole game, but I was just trying to be careful," Jones said, per ESPN's Vaughn McClure. "I was just in and out, not trying to let that flame up. I wasn't [on a limit]. It was just how I felt. I'm not going to put myself in a situation to hurt the team."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones played the fewest snaps in a game he's started this season, seeing 39 of 63 offensive plays. He still ended up leading the Falcons with 60 receiving yards on four catches, as Matt Ryan spread the ball around to 10 different targets for 277 yards and 2 TDs.

Patriots release WR Julian Edelman due to 'failed physical'

The #Patriots have terminated the contract of WR Julian Edelman, per the wire. He’s listed as a failed physical.

Fantasy Impact:

The Edelman era is over in New England. This is probably good news for the plethora of new pass-catchers that the Patriots acquired in free agency, including Nelson Agholor, Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith and Kendrick Bourne. As a free agent, Edelman probably doesn't have much gas left in the tank if he's failing physicals, but we'll see where he lands.

Bucs sign RB Giovani Bernard to a one-year deal

Veteran RB Giovani Bernard is signing a one-year deal with the #Bucs, per source.

Tom Brady and Bruce Arians both personally recruited Bernard, one of the NFL’s best receiving backs, after his release from Cincinnati. Another weapon for Brady and the Super Bowl champs.

Fantasy Impact:

It's been a while since we've had a fantasy-relevant signing, but this one qualifies. Tom Brady has potentially found his James White 2.0. Bernard is a good pass-catcher, so he'll eat into Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones's snaps on third down. This backfield is going to be tough to predict again in 2021.

Eagles are re-signing RB Jordan Howard to a one-year deal, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Jordan Howard came back to Philly at the end of last season after a rough go in Miami. He'll be competing for a job with the Eagles in 2021, but nothing is guaranteed with this new coaching staff.
