Julio Jones injury update: Fantasy owners can start him
Julio Jones was fantasy’s best receiver in Week 1. Should his fantasy owners worry about his injury?
There was a little concern about Julio this week with him missing multiple practices due to arm and leg issues. The good news is that it's just rest for Julio and he is probable to play against the New York Giants on Sunday. Jones returned to practice on Friday, which suggests that the Falcons have no worries about him. He'll be out there.
It’s slightly concerning to see Julio miss so much practice time. He’s a bit injury-prone, so his fantasy owners might be uneasy. If his fantasy owners aren’t sold on Julio as a top-five receiver, see if you can trade for him on the cheap -- this probably won’t happen.
Fantasy impact: You’re obviously starting Julio this week and he should torch the Giants secondary in New Jersey.
