Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) missed practice on Thursday leading to speculation that he could be a game-time decision for Mike Smith. Jones suffered the injury in Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Saints but was able to come back into the game.
Julio Jones injury: Fantasy value more doubtful after another missed practice
Is Atlanta in danger of being without their star receiver on Sunday? We break down the fantasy implications.

Two missed practices in a row is not a good sign, though the Falcons could just be playing it very safe with their dangerous deep threat.
Fantasy Take: Monitor Friday practice, hope he gets in at least a limited session, and then possibly get up early on Sunday to see his active or inactive status against the Cardinals. Arizona has a tough pass defense, but if he's active he's a must-start.
If out, Roddy White has typically stepped up and performed big when Jones is missing.
