Julio Jones Trending Upward For Week 14
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) is trending upward in terms of his availability for Week 14 against the Panthers. Jones would've had a much better chance of playing last week had the game been on Sunday instead of on Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran left a lot of fantasy owners hanging last week with the fantasy playoffs on the line, but it looks like he has a good shot to help those that actually made it into the postseason. Jones caught six of eight targets for 91 yards against Carolina on Nov. 17, so he'll be a clear WR1 if he's able to return this Sunday. Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage won't have as much upside if Jones is back.
