The Atlanta Falcons have ruled out Julio Jones for their game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15.
Julio Jones injury update: Falcons WR out vs. 49ers for fantasy owners
Julio Jones remains sidelined with his toe injury.

A toe injury is keeping Jones sidelined for the second straight week. He now is in danger of missing the entire fantasy playoffs, which would be devastating for fantasy owners.
Entering Week 15, Jones ranks third in fantasy scoring per game among wide receivers. He is an elite fantasy receiver when healthy, but injuries have taken him off the field at the worst possible time for his owners.
Fantasy Impact: With Jones out, Taylor Gabriel remains a solid WR2 or flex play this week. Mohamed Sanu (groin) should return this week, which does hurt Gabriel’s value, not to mention Atlanta can win this game on the ground vs. the 49ers’ horrid defense.
As for Jones, do not cut him. If he can return and play in Week 16, he should be a worthy starter in what may be your league’s fantasy championship.
