michaelredd9 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If he is active, are you going to start him? Report: Julio Jones will be 'a decoy at best' http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/350383/report-julio-jones-will-be-a-decoy-at-best?ls=roto:ATL:topheadlines D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Julio Jones will be "a decoy at best" Week 14 against the Rams. Ledbetter is doubling down on his Friday report that Jones will not play. Coach Dan Quinn said Friday he "anticipates" Jones will be active, but Ledbetter says he is "calling coach's bluff." Playing in an afternoon kick and potentially limited to decoy status, Jones looks way too risky to trust in the first week of the fantasy playoffs. Owners should find other options. Source: D.

faceplant Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 As of right now, if he's active then I'm playing him. I'll be glued to the television/computer for an hour before kickoff to look for any reasons not to trust him. Mike Wallace is my back-up if he sits.

RiseUp Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 He's in my Flex w/ the 4:25 kick. Martellus is my backup. If ruled out before 1:00 its Martellus or Rishard/Ebron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6475/julio-jones ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the team has a "more pessimistic tone" this morning on Julio Jones' availability against the Rams. Schefter did say the team plans to work him out at the stadium, but it sounds like Jones is trending toward inactive. Even if he does play, Jones could be just a decoy. It is tough to bench one of the best fantasy receivers in the league, but it looks like the correct decision this week. Taylor Gabriel could be in line for a big workload. I'm planning on having to pull him. The big question is... do I just pull him now and plug Ebron or Thielen in, or wait until it's official and plug Beasley in tonight? Think I'm opting for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm actually benching Hopkins and playing Gabriel instead. I'd be really nervous putting Jones in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 He'll be on my bench. I do have some decent alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjets18 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 If he can't start I'll start Baldwin but I might just start Baldwin anyways as I don't know how well Jones will play today with his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fastdoc Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Jones is inactive. Yahoo lists him as out but still has his projected points up. I'm pretty sure one of my opponents is oblivious to that fact since he's starting him. Good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawgpound23 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I knew Gabriel would get shut out, dang it...he's not gonna do squat as the number 1 target for the D. It's a lot different with Julio taking 2 guys with him every play, along with Sanu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
