The Atlanta Falcons are listing Julio Jones as questionable vs. the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. Jones is fighting through turf toe and is in real danger of missing this game, according to AJC.com reporter D. Orlando Ledbetter.
Falcons head coach Dan Quinn did express optimism that his All-Pro receiver will play. Whatever happens, this is a true game-time decision you must be aware of and have a replacement ready. That is easier said than done with Jones, who enters Week 14 ranked third in fantasy scoring among receivers.
If Jones is out, Taylor Gabriel suddenly becomes a promising fantasy play with Mohamed Sanu (groin) already out.
Fantasy Impact: If Jones is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the fourth-best receiver in Week 14. He would face a Rams defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to receivers over the last three weeks.
As long as Julio is active, keep him in your starting lineup.
