Goes berserk on Vikings Jones corralled eight of his 10 targets for 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 40-23 win against Minnesota.
Impact The seven-time Pro Bowl wideout entered Week 6 with an average of 48.3 receiving yards per game over four appearances against Mike Zimmer's Vikings since 2014. Jones made his presence felt immediately Sunday, snagging a 20-yard TD pass from Matt Ryan on Atlanta's first offensive possession of the afternoon. He provided another enormous contribution on 4th-and-3 in the third quarter, catching a Ryan lob and out-muscling linebacker Eric Wilson for a 40-yard score down the left sideline. Jones' status may have been somewhat precarious entering Sunday given that he missed back-to-back practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he logged a limited session Friday before getting the green light for Week 6. He's granted another favorable matchup Week 7, facing a Lions secondary that is dealing with injuries to Desmond Trufant (hamstring), Mike Ford (leg) and Justin Coleman (hamstring).

Cleared to play Week 6 Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact This comes as a bit of a surprise after Jones was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday. He returned to the field Friday as a limited participant, setting him up to play in a game for the fourth time through six weeks. He did leave early last time he tried to play, logging only 15 snaps before the hamstring injury forced him out of a Week 4 loss to the Packers. Even with the re-injury risk, fantasy managers probably won't want to miss out on the upside, especially in this Week 6 matchup against Vikings defense that's given up the fifth-most PPR points (44.0 per game) to wide receivers.

Listed as DNP on Thursday Jones (hamstring) was listed a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Jones has yet to practice since departing at halftime of Atlanta's Week 4 loss in Green Bay. The Falcons worked remotely Thursday due to a member of the organization testing positive for COVID-19, so it remains to be seen if the team will get on the practice field before week's end. Jones will have one more chance to bump up to LP or FP, at which point the Falcons will tab him with a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota.
