Oh, how I wish the handle was "Dr.RobAnderson" and such a procedure wasn't an impossibility.this according to someone with Madeup Info as their Twitter handle.seems legit

Was dropped by his owner in my league. I've got a high waiver position, so I'm hoping this made up magnetic laser surgery works out for Julio.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The magnetic laser surgery was a joke and is not an actual procedure.
I'm referring to the second opinion...not the magnetic surgery, or the potential ball bearing option.

Me too. Unfortunately for some Julio owners the eyes see what the heart wishes were reality.

I ended up dropping my defense and picking up another Percy Harvin. If Julio is really done, which I suspect, then I'll just drop him for a Defense. Problem solved.

Nice. "Another Percy Harvin" because I've picked up Harvin in another league. I didn't want him but he has a chance to be a WR1. Him and Keenan Allen seem to the best WR pickups but someone else had Allen.

No word on the visit to the second opinion yet?

They just tightened the screws, now business as usual. Julio will start week 7.

Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads.

Just kidding man. He's most likely out for the season. Don't get your hopes up.

It's official, he's done for the year.

(05:33 pm ET) Falcons receiver Julio Jones will undergo surgery on his broken foot next week and is indeed done for the season, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte confirmed the initial diagnosis on Wednesday.
Jones suffered the injury Monday night against the Jets. He finishes the year with 41 catches, 580 yards and two touchdowns.

Julio Jones - WR - Falcons
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Julio Jones will undergo season-ending foot surgery next week after Dr. Robert Anderson confirmed Jones suffered a fracture.
Jones had his second opinion on Wednesday with Dr. Anderson, and the results were exactly what the team feared and expected. Jones is done for the season. We haven't learned yet whether Jones actually broke a new bone in his foot or the screw that was holding his foot together from the 2011 surgery. But either way, the news isn't good. Jones will be placed on injured reserve shortly.

I just saw a Visa commercial with Julio Jones doing a TD dance in the endzone - I almost threw a brick into the TV!

It could. IF it is a broken screw, it means the bone likely was cracked long ago or never healed fully to begin with, placing most of the stress on the screw leading to failure. They will replace the screw and likely try additional healing methods this time (PRP, bone stimulator, and/or a plate). These things can help make it stronger, BUT, there is likely something going onwith his alignment or body mechanics (high arches, etc) that is not correctable. He can focus on strengthening and try orthotics, but his body shape and alignment is what it is. Add in that he is a big man that runs fast and cuts hard, and you have a recipe that would be more likely to yield reinjury than your average person. There is also the possibility that he came back too fast the first time, trying to impress for the draft, and it didn't heal properly. I wouldn't shy away from him, but there is a chance he hurts it again at some point.

Tweeted some thoughts yesterday and again tonight. Here's the blurb from today's subscriber feature...
Jones has a fracture in the same foot he injured shortly before the NFL combine in 2011. There are reports that the screw that was placed to fix that injury is broken, but that's not been confirmed by the team, nor have the reports that he'll have surgery next week and miss the rest of the season.
But both reports are plausible.
Though rehab from this surgery takes on average 12 weeks (range 10-16 weeks) to complete, the results of a case study by Jones' own doctor (Robert Anderson of the Carolina Foot and Ankle Institute) are very reassuring for athletes, including a number of football players, who need a revision of their earlier surgery. All eight players in the series returned to their former level of play within four months. None were reported to have complications or a subsequent injury.
You're likely to hear Jones' case compared to that of Ahmad Bradshaw, who has had multiple screw revisions and took much longer than expected to get out of a walking boot after his most recent surgery this offseason. But there are important differences. Bradshaw's initial injuries were stress fractures, injuries that aren't recognized right away and tougher to heal than an acute injury. Bradshaw also delayed his most recent surgery for a full 12 months, choosing a bone marrow injection only during the 2012 offseason rather than undergoing the screw revision recommended by Anderson. Neither will be an issue with Jones.
The most recent comp of a wide receiver suffering this kind of fracture was Hakeem Nicks last preseason. He returned to play within 14 weeks. There have been other ongoing knee issues with Nicks, but there's not been any indication that he's been limited by the foot injury.
There are no guarantees of course and any changes to the expected diagnosis may change my argument, but I think there's good reason to be optimistic for Jones in 2014.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but do any of those bench slugs have any life?
I don't even know who's on there -- drew dinkmire?

Harry Douglas - 27 targets on the year (had a 500-yard season 2 years ago, but was never able to step up when Jones or White were injured)
Drew Davis - 1 target, 0 catches (2nd year in league)
Kevin Cone - 1 reception in 2 1/2 seasons in the league
Darius Johnson - practice squad guy from SMU
James Rodgers - practice squad guy from Oregon State (only on the team because he's Jacquizz's brother)

well, I didn't expect any targets, as julio and white have hogged all the snaps, but somebody has to be out there next game.
ok, after reading up on these guys they make the jets current wr corps look like the pro-bowl
quizz and finley have to be the only possible bumps, unless sjax is finally back. -- rb should get about 12 targets

It's even tougher dropping him in redraft, a little part of my is scared that he's going to miraculously return at some point and come back to destroy me.
ATL has to be in the FA/trade market for a WR right now, that current depth chart is the worst in the league without Roddy and Julio. I pray for those that are actually counting on Harry Douglas in their starting lineups at any point.

Do people forget that droves of owners were making terrible assumptions, trades, and predictions about Le'Veon Bell's foot issue just 4 weeks ago? The media and fantasy owners spent about a week panicking about a likely Lis Franc injury. He went totally undrafted, or was dropped, in tons of redrafts because of the timing of the injury.
Humankind's natural inclination to freak out and spread fear in groups always blows up stuff like this, along with media overreaction, as well as edgy people wanting to be the first to point out the scariest possibilities. It's normal.
Peyton Manning's career was going to be over after the neck injury. Demaryius Thomas was sold for pennies on the dollar after his Achilles. MJD was relatively cheap with a "chronic bone-on-bone" condition the season before he led the league in rushing yards. ADP went from untouchable to fantastic, season-winning buy-low after an ACL injury at the end of the season. Charles' fantasy value went through the exact same routine at the beginning of that season. Gronk hasn't yet proven his future health, but there was a buy-low window at the height of his injury issues this offseason with him as well, that may have extended to just a week or three ago.
Buying studs who get injured has almost always been a brilliant move in recent history. This is no different. Stop panicking. Start buying. He has 11 months or so until his next game. He made that beautiful, one-handed reception down the sideline after the injury occurred. He just needs to heal up.
Again, this kind of overreaction is premature--the fear-mongering and "SELL! SELL! SELL!" posts have almost always proven to be incorrect, overboard, and harmful dynasty advice.

Hey Conn, great post but I want to counter with this. Julio now has had some injuries just about every season. I know he is godly, studly, athletic ability out the wazoo but I have to start putting Julio into the injury risk category and if he repeated it again next season he might slip even further down for me. His 1st 3 seasons he has missed time all 3, very significant time for most this year. Julio was being drafted in the high 2nd round his 2nd season, he was anointed by many after Calvin to be THE GUY that you wanted.
I'm cautiously optimistic now.

He plays super physical. I think little injuries are going to plague him throughout his career. (this one obviously not being little).
That being said, this isn't at all comparable to an ACL tear or some other injury that is going to cause him to need a ton of off-season rehab.
He'll probably be healed by the Super Bowl and will put in a full off-season of work.

Just completed a trade for Julio in the one dynasty league I owned him.
Josh Gordon
Paul Posluscny
5th round rookie pick

Julio.
I feel that Gordon is not too far behind Julio in potential, and Pos is a top-10 LB. I offered for the two players and a 2nd...I settled for the 5th rounder, because I think just the two players alone more than make up for losing Julio.
I am in win-now mode, so that helped my decision.
