Same boat. Julio in, Hillman out in my flex.Screw it. He's back in my lineup. I couldn't take it if I got knocked out of the playoffs because I left my 2nd-round pick on the pine.
Encouraging.'Raider Nation said:@JeffDarlington: Falcons WR Julio Jones (ankle) looked just fine in warmups today. Falcons agree. Jones looked good in practice all week.
Thanks. He's in, not looking back.'Raider Nation said:@JeffDarlington: Falcons WR Julio Jones (ankle) looked just fine in warmups today. Falcons agree. Jones looked good in practice all week.
just did the same things as miles austin's 0 this week makes me need a homerun play.UghLast week I second guessed sitting him and was kicking myself by yanking Alexander late. Yet I am a glutton for punishment and will start him over Lance Moore.
I just did the pickle dance.

Shorts just scored a long one too. And they are BOTH in my lineup.OMG. Almost sat Jones for Shorts.
- Always start your studs is really just a nice way of saying start the guys who if they go off but are on your bench it will feel like a nut punch.Same boat.

If only I had your insight. Threw Chicken Parm in there once I realized Hillman was second string.Same boat. Julio in, Hillman out in my flex.Screw it. He's back in my lineup. I couldn't take it if I got knocked out of the playoffs because I left my 2nd-round pick on the pine.
We can cry together.Motherfuker. Alexander better catch some bombs today or it'll be two weeks in a row of poor management by me.
Start a support group. So high on this guy and came in as 14th WR this week and should go up after this week but has put 3 stinkers and 2 bad games for a stud. Add on a few weeks of not starting him b/c of injury and this guy probably cost me a playoff spot.We can cry together.Motherfuker. Alexander better catch some bombs today or it'll be two weeks in a row of poor management by me.
10 points in a PPR isn't good. The one week he scored 11 points, he was T-31, the other week he put up 10 he was T-41. Add in games of 6, 4, and 5 and that is 45% of the games he hasn't produced very well. Added in with his injury concerns which probably caused a few owners to bench him a week or two that he went off and I can have complaints.Jones has played 11 games and has been good or better in eight in PPR leagues. He hasn't been a Top 3 fantasy WR like some predicted but overall he's been a pretty darn good one. I have no complaints as a Jones owner.
We'll have to agree to disagree. Again, I acknowledge he hasn't been the Top 3 WR some predicted but I only count three bum games this season. I don't consider a 10-point game in PPR to be a bad game. If that's his floor I'll take that considering his ceiling obviously is immense.10 points in a PPR isn't good.

Me neither, especially since the only league I have him in is one that awards bonuses for longer scores. Games like today make it worth it. And to think, I came thisclose to not starting him. I'd probably be suicidal right now had I not.Jones has played 11 games and has been good or better in eight in PPR leagues. He hasn't been a Top 3 fantasy WR like some predicted but overall he's been a pretty darn good one. I have no complaints as a Jones owner.
The year is not over for him to get damn near that, and considering you weren't having to spend top 3 to get him in most redrafts, I'd say he's still been a value and will prove to be when it counts 14-16 as well.Jones has played 11 games and has been good or better in eight in PPR leagues.

I heard he looked good in pre-game warmups, and I heard that FJax would only be backing up Spiller today, so I rolled the dice with Julio in that RB/WR spot. Plus, I figured the Falcons probably wouldn't let him play if he were iffy, especially with a game on Thursday.What was it that led to Julio owners (me included) firing up our stud? For me it was the pregame report saying that he looked "just fine" in warmups.
When he practiced on Thursday and Friday. No way was I keeping him out of my lineup for this outstanding matchup.What was it that led to Julio owners (me included) firing up our stud? For me it was the pregame report saying that he looked "just fine" in warmups.

I tend to go with the start your starters mentality...it has been good to me through the years.'Rylenol said:What was it that led to Julio owners (me included) firing up our stud? For me it was the pregame report saying that he looked "just fine" in warmups.
Me too. Julio will start for me 99.9% of the time. The only way he would sit is if he missed an entire week of practice and the matchup looked difficult. If he hadn't practiced at all last week I probably still would've rolled the dice with him given his talent and how great the matchup was.I tend to go with the start your starters mentality...it has been good to me through the years.'Rylenol said:What was it that led to Julio owners (me included) firing up our stud?

My info says he practiced in full and is not listed on the injury report.Looks like Julio has shed the dreaded GTD tag. Guess he's a definite start to be in one's lineup this week. Anyone hear about any lingering ankle injuries? Good to go?
The bye week couldn't have come at a better time to get those WRs healthy. SJax should also be back. I think the Falcons have enough talent to crawl out of their 1-4 hole.Great....
Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington
Adding injury to insult: I just saw Julio Jones limping out of the x-ray room for unknown reason. Whatever it is, it's lower right leg/foot
He actually came a yard short of scoring in the RZ today.Amazing that they can't draw something up to get him the ball down near the goal line. Has not scored since week 2.
Have you seen that ####ty D? They still have to play Niners Packers Saints.... They are toastThe bye week couldn't have come at a better time to get those WRs healthy. SJax should also be back. I think the Falcons have enough talent to crawl out of their 1-4 hole.Great....

You didn't watch the game I guess, or you'd know he was targeted in the RZ on two very different plays on the same drive. One was an incomplete pass in the end zone because Ryan was hit as he was throwing. The next was a reception that came up a yard short of a TD.Amazing that they can't draw something up to get him the ball down near the goal line. Has not scored since week 2.
