Report: Julio's role hinges on the game pace
Julio Jones - WR - Atlanta Falcons
Nov. 24, 2012 - 6:20 PM ET

NFL Network's Jeff Darlington reports the pace of Sunday's game versus the Bucs might dictate how the Falcons use Julio Jones on offense.

The report doesn't tell us much more than we already suspected after seeing Jones at his less than explosive self last Sunday -- and noting that he practiced twice this week. If the game turns into a shootout against a Bucs offense averaging a gaudy 34.2 points the past six weeks, Jones will be more heavily involved. Darlington took to Twitter to advise fantasy leaguers to start "anyone associated with the Falcons' passing offense" against a Tampa Bay defense surrendering a league-worst 312.6 yards through the air per game.
