Julio Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play today. We'll confirm his status, of course, when the inactives come out. Jones' absence makes Olamide Zaccheaus a fantasy consideration in an upside matchup with the Raiders.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Falcons "plan to assess" WR Julio Jones' injured hamstring Sunday morning before deciding whether he'll play against the Raiders. We'll certainly be watching for updates on the questionable wideout's status leading up to game time.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Raiders. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but didn't practice on Friday -- an ominous sign for his Week 12 status. Especially after Jones struggled through this hammy issue last week, we'd try to have him on fantasy benches right now. We'll continue to look for updates on his availability.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) remained limited on Thursday. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders remains uncertain. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It looks like he's trying to suit up for this weekend's game against the Raiders. We'll keep an eye on Jones' status throughout the rest of the week.

Falcons interim HC Raheem Morris confirmed that WR Julio Jones is iffy for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Jones battled a tight hamstring throughout yesterday's loss to the Saints, playing just 22 snaps and seeing only 2 targets. We'll keep an eye on his progress throughout the week, but fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place for Week 12.

Falcons WR Julio Jones has been sidelined for the majority of Sunday's game against the Saints with what Fox Sports was told is "tightness" in his hamstring. Jones hasn't been officially ruled out, but we're not expecting to see him back in there at this point. We'll look for an update on his status.

Update: Jones returned to make a 4th-quarter, 4th-down catch -- and then gingerly walked off the field holding his left hamstring.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (foot) is inactive for today’s game against the Broncos. We’re expecting WR Christian Blake to replace him in the starting lineup, but Blake would be a desperation fantasy play. WR Julio Jones and TE Hayden Hurst should get target boosts with Ridley out.

The Broncos have ruled CB A.J. Bouye (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. CB Bryce Callahan (ankle) is questionable. If Callahan can't go, Denver would be missing its top 2 corners. That could only help Falcons QB Matt Ryan and WR Julio Jones.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. He didn’t practice all week, so we’re not expecting him to play. But we’ll find out for sure by noon ET on Sunday. Ridley’s absence would boost the target projections for WR Julio Jones and TE Hayden Hurst.

The forecast for tonight's Falcons-Panthers game calls for a 40% chance of rain with winds of 10-20 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. That's not quite enough wind for us to adjust our projections for this game. But you might use the weather as a tie-breaker if deciding between 2 similarly ranked players.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently ready to return for this weekend’s game vs. Minnesota. Jones carries elevated risk until we see him make it through a game healthy — but he also boasts WR1 upside in what should be a shootout against a beatable Vikings secondary. Jones' return is also good news for QB Matt Ryan, who's struggled the past 3 weeks.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday. It's an estimation since Atlanta didn't actually practice after a positive COVID test from a coach. We'll see if Jones can get on the practice field tomorrow, but he's looking unlikely to play against the Vikings this weekend.

The Falcons are shutting down their facility after getting back 4 positive COVID tests on Thursday morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Atlanta's game against the Vikings this weekend is now in question. Stay tuned.

Update: A source tells Schefter that the Falcons had just 1 positive test, and it wasn't a player. That has us a bit more optimistic that this game will happen this week.

The Falcons won't make a final decision on WR Julio Jones' status for today's game against the Panthers until pregame warmups, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones aggravated his hamstring injury this past Monday night and didn't practice all week. We'd be surprised if he plays but will find out for sure around 11:30 am ET. Even if he's active, Jones would be a high-risk fantasy play.

The Falcons list WR Julio Jones (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He didn't practice all week after aggravating that hamstring injury on Monday night, so fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him in Week 5 lineups.
