The Atlanta Falcons are no longer listing Julio Jones on their injury report, which means he is good to go vs. the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.

Jones missed the last two games while dealing with a toe injury. That led to him being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week, but went full on Friday to avoid even being listed as questionable on the final report.

This is great news for the Falcons as they look to clinch the NFC South, while his fantasy owners are just as ecstatic with fantasy championships taking place over the final two weeks. Jones enters Week 16 ranked second in fantasy points per game among wide receivers.

Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Jones as the sixth-best wide receiver in Week 16. He faces a Panthers defense surrendering the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Start Jones in all leagues this week.
