Julio Jones injury update: WR probable, will play for fantasy owners
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is listed as probable for Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.
Adam Bettcher
Fantasy Impact: With Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green both unlikely to play, one could easily make the case that Jones is the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver play for Week 6. He has produced at an elite level since Week 1. He has caught 40 passes for 552 yards and three touchdowns, putting him on pace for more than 120 receptions, 1,656 yards and nine touchdowns on the season. Such a pace wouldn't be sustainable for most receivers but Jones isn't most receivers. He's an elite athlete and his foot issue is the only thing standing in his way of a number one fantasy finish. Chicago gives up the eighth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Jones is a every-week elite WR1 play.
