According to ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure, with Julio Jones recovering from a hip pointer and likely to finally draw extra attention from the Steelers' defense -- if he plays -- fantasy owners might want to look at another option.

McClure went on to note that Roddy White is getting better coming off a left ankle sprain and will be a primary target for Matt Ryan whether Jones is blanketed or sidelined.

White has 23 catches for 238 yards and a touchdown against AFC North opponents this season. He should come at an affordable value in daily leagues.

And if White doesn't go, the same could be said of Harry Douglas. ...

Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus' Mike Clay reminded readers that Steven Jackson is 12th in fantasy points among running backs during the past five weeks.

Now 31 years old, Jackson is past his prime, but he's seeing enough volume in a competent offense to perform at a high level. He does very little as a receiver (18 receptions for the year), but he's 14th in the league in carries and has six touchdowns.

"Playing roughly half of Atlanta's snaps," Clay wrote, "Jackson's ceiling remains low, but you could do a lot worse at the RB2 slot."
