BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues (monitor Julio Jones status)
OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Falcons are providing virtually no information on the status of Julio’s hip injury, but at least we know that Douglas has been the number three receiver in Atlanta for years. We also know that Julio hasn't been doing much in practice this week. Douglas is the most obvious non-traditional handcuff in the league such that whenever Roddy White or Julio Jones goes down with an injury, Douglas automatically fills in nicely. That’s what we should all expect should Julio end up missing Sunday’s bout with the Steelers. Julio Jones is clearly the better player so should Julio start, conventional wisdom would be to forget about Douglas. But if Julio Jones is out, Douglas would certainly get work and any Falcons wide receiver can go off when given the opportunity.
