Description: Falcons receiver Julio Jones was uncoverable Sunday in the NFC Championship game against the 49ers. Jones caught all 11 of his targets for 182 yards and two scores with a long of 46 yards but it still wasn't enough to beat San Francisco. | Insight: Jones caught 79 balls for 1,198 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. While the presence of Roddy White will prevent him from reaching the Calvin Johnson tier among fantasy receivers, he could break into the top five next season as White moves into the downside of his career. | | |

Description: If you need anymore incentive to play Falcons receiver Julio Jones (active) versus the Buccaneers, there's this, per Jeff Darlington of the NFL Network: "Jones looked just fine in warmups today. Falcons staff agrees. Source added Jones looked good in practice all week." | Insight: Jones was only able to play 35 of Atlanta's 73 offensive snaps last Sunday versus Arizona and could play a limited number again this week, but against Tampa Bay's weak pass defense that should still be enough. | | |

Description: It's official, Atlanta wideout Julio Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. | Insight: Jones was only able to play 35 of Atlanta's 73 offensive snaps last Sunday versus Arizona and could play a limited number again this week, but against the Bucs' pass weakened defense that should still be enough. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Julio Jones (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers. SOURCE: Adam Schefter, ESPN | Insight: Jones was only able to play 35 of Atlanta's 73 offensive snaps last Sunday versus Arizona. NFL.com's Jeff Darlington said Saturday that the pace of the game could determine how many snaps Jones plays against Tampa Bay. We expect a shootout so you'd have to have several very good options to bench Jones. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Julio Jones (ankle) remains questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay with a lingering ankle sprain. His usage rate will depend on the pace of the game, according to NFL Network's Jeff Darlington. | Insight: Jones was only able to play 35 of Atlanta's 73 offensive snaps last Sunday versus Arizona. The game has the potential to be a shootout -- both teams possess elite passing offenses -- and Atlanta might be forced to throw the ball against Tampa Bay's No. 1 ranked run defense. Still, Jones is a risky play and there's really no way to predict how he'll be utilized Sunday. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Julio Jones (ankle) practiced for the second straight day Friday, though on a limited basis. | Insight: Jones didn't practice at all last week and didn't play well before getting knocked out of the game. It's encouraging that he practiced on back-to-back days. Playing against the vulnerable Tampa Bay Bucs's secondary could make him a solid choice, if he can play the entire 60 minutes. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Julio Jones (ankle) returned to practice Thursday in a limited session. | Insight: Jones played through the injury last week and was ineffective (three catches, 33 yards in a win over the Cardinals). He's likely to be a game-time decision again in Week 11 versus Tampa Bay. If he's able to play it will be difficult to sit him considering how poor the Buccaneers have been versus the pass this season. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Julio Jones did not participate in practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with an injured right ankle. | Insight: Jones played through the injury last week and was ineffective (three catches, 33 yards in a win over the Cardinals). He's questionable for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Julio Jones is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay with a right ankle injury. Jones only played in about half of Atlanta's 73 offensive plays last week and very few in the fourth quarter after hobbling to the sideline. | Insight: Jones' fantasy owners would certainly love him to be healthy and facing the Buccaneers' vulnerable pass defense, but that may not be the case. If he's active he's a must start, but is sounds like this will be a game-time decision. | | |
| 11/18/2012 12:08:00 PM |
Description: Chris Mortensen of ESPN believes Falcons receiver Julio Jones could be limited Sunday against Arizona. Jones has been declared active for today's game after previously being labeled as a game-time decision. | Insight: Jones is struggling with an ankle injury and probably won't have the burst that we're used to seeing from him when he takes the field Sunday versus the Cardinals. Matt Ryan could look to give the ball to Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez more than usual with Jones hobbled but we're guessing he'll still see enough action to warrant a start in most fantasy leagues. | | |
| 11/18/2012 11:32:00 AM |
Description: ESPN's Chris Mortensen tweeted that Atlana wideout Julio Jones will play Sunday against Arizona.

He's a must-start in all formats, regardless of whatever limitations this injury might cause. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Julio Jones was held out of Wednesday practice. | Insight: Jones came out of last weekend's game with a right foot injury but returned after missing a couple of series. At this point we aren't concerned, but we will watch to make sure he gets at least one practice this week. | | |
| 11/13/2012 12:12:00 PM |
Description: At Monday's press conference Falcons coach Mike Smith wasn't concerned about receiver Julio Jones, who left the game with New Orleans for a brief time due to a right ankle injury. | Insight: Jones came back into the game and appeared to run without much problem, so we aren't overly concerned for the Week 11 matchup with Arizona, but check back later in the week to make sure he's ready to go. | | |
| 11/11/2012 3:15:00 PM |
Description: Falcons receiver Julio Jones, who walked to the locker room late in the first quarter with a right ankle injury, has returned to the game. | Insight: Jones made a short catch which required him to plant, so he must be reasonably healthy.
