Ugh. May start him in one league over Bowe. May bench him in another for Steve Smith. I hate this type of decisions...
Start him with confidence, fellas.
Limited Schlimited. Once the adrenaline gets flowing, competitors compete.
That could happen even if he was 100% healthy.True, but when they return a pick six, and Turner poops his way into 8 carries 12 yards and 2 td's and they are up 21-0, It turns into goaline snaps only.
Not at all. ARZ defense is no pushover... I don't see the Falcons being able to stomp them early and coast.If however, IF they do manage to crush them by halftime... Julio would have to be a major part of that.how worried is everyone that he will play decoy only and then come out if they go up early? it is the cardinals. Unfortunately, my other option is Ryan Mathews, who is no lock either.
Okay, but if that happens today, Julio probably sees very few snaps after that unless Arizona somehow got back in the game. Ordinarily, Julio would still be out there seeing his normal snaps.That could happen even if he was 100% healthy.True, but when they return a pick six, and Turner poops his way into 8 carries 12 yards and 2 td's and they are up 21-0, It turns into goaline snaps only.
This is what i'm worried about too...dammit I'm gonna have to go with AveryI have to sit him over Marshall and A Johnson. Can't trust him to get enough balls thrown his way. Even if he is a deep ball threat, how is he going to go full steam and beat anyone if he's limping? Atl. will go short to Gonzo and mid range to White with Jones as a decoy. My best guess 3 catches for 45 yards and no TD.
STOP USING YOUR LOGIC CRAP WITH ME!Okay, but if that happens today, Julio probably sees very few snaps after that unless Arizona somehow got back in the game.

He's been in and out of so many games already, I am believing he is schlimited. Hope he balls for the true believers.Start him with confidence, fellas.

Yes he was, bro. Doesn't really matter though.1st half targets:Roddy White: 177Julio Jones: 1Looked like he wasn't in on those last few red zone plays

'Sinn Fein said:Gut says that if Jones plays he'll be more decoy than factor in the game.
You're going to go blind if you keep doing that.'Sinn Fein said:Gut says that if Jones plays he'll be more decoy than factor in the game.
Like I said, picking up someone to replace Jones should be easy...Thank you Mr. Alexander! How did you do?Yeah, #11 WR in my league for the year. Should be no problem to pick up a scrub off the wire to match his numbers.+1 and I think the move, if you can swing it, would be to p/u Douglas if you do not have another WR to fill-in. It's not like Julio is blowing it up right so to match his numbers should be easy for us to do.I respect Tarkenton's accomplishments but what he may say about Julio Jones or any other player carries little weight with me. It will have no impact whatsoever on how I proceed with Julio this week. If he starts he starts for me.
I wish I was as brave as you. Starting Julio over my backup plan of DX might cost me my week.I'm going Danario over JJ. Hope he doesn't compound this injury today.
Yip... the adage that if he is active play him, is not so true. For me with any player, practice time is huge. If a player misses practices and then is active, I dont play him.Yesterday was a kick in the nuts but I disagree with the thinking that Jones couldn't be trusted before this week. In his previous five games he put up:10-94-14-63-05-123-15-129-04-75-0 (while missing more than half of the game)When Julio's been healthy he's been very trustworthy lately. Unfortunately after yesterday I think the trust factor has lessened considerably. He'll need to practice this week for me to play him. A repeat of this past week and he'll be on my bench regardless even if he's active.
Nope. He's no Megatron in that regard. We found that out the hard way yesterday.Yip... the adage that if he is active play him, is not so true.Yesterday was a kick in the nuts but I disagree with the thinking that Jones couldn't be trusted before this week.

Yep, I need him to practice to start for me.

Well, it was not that hard to figure out. He had no practice this week, the Falcons have a few other weapons in the passing game, and he had similar results earlier this year when he came back from his hand laceration - 1 catch game.Where else is Detroit going to throw the ball?Nope.

Agreed!I really wish they just didn't use him this week. Unless his ankle feels completely fine, I don't see them making the same mistake again. I think he'll be benched next week in favor of getting him healthy. I really could use him this week, but I'd rather have him healthy during the fantasy playoffs.
I might be in the same boat my friend.made the last minute switch from Danario to Julio-cost me the win and probably a spot in the playoffs. brutal.
