Is Julio Jones a top 5 player in the league?

NFL Network says so.
Our guy might disagree.
Personally, I agree with Marshon. Julio is a great, probably top 15, but he’s not a top 5 player in the world.

Top 5 in the league?
I can make a case that he's not top 5 at his position.

Carson Wentz #3??

All of these guys are right at his level.
OBJ
AJ
AB
Mike Thomas
Nuk
Let's not act like Julio dominates every game. He's a really good talent and can change games but he's not consistent enough for me.

Remember the list is voted on by players, so his competitors obviously have respect for him.
The last 3 years he’s been in the top 10.
He had 88 for 1,400 this year, but even so, a lot of people considered it a down year for him.
Top 5 EVERY year? Ehh maybe
Top 10? I’d say no doubt
But I love that the Saints have a guy to go toe to toe with him.

just like roethlisberger, then stafford, then luck, then carr, and now wentz
NFL/media try to push "the next elite qb" group and slowly try to push out Brees.
It ended poorly for most of those guys.
Also sorry, Gurley >>> Bell. I love Bell (fantasy my last 3 years), but he's putting up numbers due to volume now.

I know this is Atlanta but Jones is a beast. He caught over 1400 last year and in 2015 caught almost 1900.
I would think his average over the last 5 years is over 1500 per year.

A biased as hell case....
When healthy he’s a complete and total mismatch. His biggest issue seems to be how frequently he goes to the sideline...they seem to manage his reps A LOT. I also love Mike Thomas but he’s not the same freak athlete that Julio is which is fine. I actually think that Mike’s work ethic and route running will land him as a top 4-5 guy as soon as this year and that’s plenty good enough for me.
For me it’s AB, Nuk, Julio, Green, Odel ( if he doesn’t lose a step post injury and calms down), then Mike as of right now. In terms of the big, fast physical freaks I actually like Nuk more than Julio because he seems to stay on the field more and has done a lot with much less at qb. Guy is a gamer.

This all day. Bell is slightly overrated. Bell is super durable and versatile but he plays on a team with a solid OL, Pro Bowl QB, and the best WR in the NFL. The Steelers put up very similar offensive numbers with and without him. And despite all that he averaged 4.0 ypc and 7.7 ypr neither which is impressive. Yet every time I’ve said this I get downvoted to hell.

I like Bell. I love watching him run. But Gurley has a different gear right now. He’s finally managed to stay healthy which has always been his issue.

Top 5 player? Ehhh...
Top 10 player/ Top 5 receiver? Without a fricking doubt.
The injuries and lack of redzone TDs are a hindrance, but he's a first ballot HOFer at the current pace. The offensive production with him on the field vs. off the field is staggering.

Ill give you Odell and AB, the others are just not. Julio jas more yards on less targets than all those dudes. Not his fault Atlanta doesnt feed him in the red zone.

Agreed
I think Julio and AB are in tier 1
Odell and Nuk tier 2
Mike Thomas and AJ tier 3
I’d put Julio and AB ahead because of their sustained excellence.
Odell and Hopkins have had 2 or 3 fantastic years.
AJ is just as talented but just hasn’t produced to the same level IMO. Give MT a couple more years, he will be up there.

Nuk is a beast too especially considering the QBs he’s had.
Also Green has been consistent but never truly has had a top 3 season. Only one 1400 yard season compared to Julio’s four in a row.
I love Thomas and hope he has just as good a career as Julio but I’m not going to say he’s better than Julio after one top 5 year.

He's definitely a top 5 WR. Outside the top 3 isn't a reach though(Nuk, AB, OBJ if he's not being crazy).
Yards wise he is on the pace for like top 10 but it's crazy how low his TDs are historically.

Yes. He's starting to take over the Larry Fitzgerald mantle whenever Fitz retires. Hopefully Watson can stay healthy. Seems like they finally might have a QB.

I might give him top 5 in NFC, but if i were to sit down and really rank them all, he'd probably be just outside the top 5.

What happened on his last red zone target? That's why.

I don’t care for Juluo’s erratic play. One Sunday it’s 9 catches for 280 yards and 3 TD’s the next Sunday it’s 2 catches for 19 yards.
