Julio Jones Not On The Field Thursday
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jones aggravated his hamstring in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, but he's attempting to play through the injury, as he's so often done before while remaining productive for fantasy managers. The All-Pro wideout had just two catches for 24 yards while dealing with his hamstring injury last week, so there's obvious risk with Jones if he's active against a tough Bears Defense this Sunday. But you cannot bench Jones if he's in the starting lineup. Temper your expectations for Jones if he plays this weekend as a WR1. If he's inactive, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage and tight end Hayden Hurst will have higher ceilings.
