The Facts:
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones aggravated his balky ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Jones was a game-time decision heading into Week 11 and was cleared to play following a pregame warmup. Jones sprained his right ankle in Atlanta's loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. He caught three balls for 33 yards on seven targets before departing for the sideline.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
We were admittedly surprised the Falcons decided to roll with Jones considering he didn't practice all week and was at risk to aggravate or further damage his ankle. Watching him on the field it was clear that the second-year wideout was not 100 percent. While it's hard to sit Jones, the injury made him a risky fantasy start this week and his numbers were sub-par. Expect Atlanta to rest Jones in an effort to get him healthy for Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Harry Douglas would start opposite Roddy White if Jones were to miss any time. Check back for an update on Jones' condition as more information becomes available.
