Julio Jones expected to play Sunday vs. Buccaneers: Fantasy implications
Julio Jones is expected to play for the Falcons during Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jones has yet to miss a game due to the injury. He played last week despite not practicing at all leading up to kickoff. Jones was a limited participant Thursday and Friday this past week.
Fantasy Impact: Jones will be on the field, but whether he is effective is a bigger question for fantasy owners. He had just three receptions for 33 yards last week, which was his second-worst yardage output of the season.
Jones’ matchup is a decent one this week, so he is probably still worth the gamble in most fantasy formats. Just bear in mind that Jones’ chances of producing a dud are much higher than normal, as well.
