The Facts:
Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter confirmed wide receiver Julio Jones wasn't 100 percent during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Koetter said the right hand laceration Jones sustained the previous week in San Diego prevented him from having the big-play impact on Atlanta's offense that many expected. Jones was targeted eight times, but converted only one catch for 30 yards.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones' quiet fantasy day didn't sit too well with his fantasy owners who expect more from him than three fantasy points in standard scoring. We'll take Dirk Koetter as his word and hope that Jones' hand is on the fast track to 100 percent. He was on the receiving end of eight targets so it's not as if he was an afterthought in the offense. Don't hold Jones bad game against him. Atlanta takes a road trip to the nation's capital for a Week 5 meeting with the Washington Redskins. Jones could very well have a 'get well' day against a Redskins defense that is giving up a league-high 36.0 fantasy points per game average to opposing wide receivers.
