Falcons' Julio Jones dealing with lower-back issue
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is dealing with a lower-back injury, head coach Dan Quinn said.
What It Means:
As a result, Jones will be limited at practice this week. It's not a concern at this point, but owners should keep an eye on the situation. The Falcons' star receiver caught 7 passes (12 targets) for 91 yards in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions.
Per numberFire Live, Jones finished with 5.85 Reception Net Expected Points in Week 3, meaning a league average wide receiver would have scored 5.85 fewer points than Jones did if put in similar situations. His 12.6 FanDuel points were a little short of what our models expected (14.4).
