Jones missed the Falcons' preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Smith insisted that the injury was minor and only held him out of the game as a precaution. It doesn't seem like the injury will be an issue going forward.
Fantasy impact: Hamstring injuries are notorious for lingering, but it sounds like Jones’ ailment was as minor as possible. He has been tearing up training camp, appearing even quicker and more explosive than he was in his first two seasons in the league.
Jones is an easy WR1 in all fantasy league formats and can be had in the second round of most drafts. He checks in at No. 18 on SB Nation’s Top 100 Big Board.
