Julio Jones Week 15 Outlook - Eagles at Commanders

It's been a while since Jones was without either Mohamed Sanu or Calvin Ridley, though his owners won't mind the target bump he'll get. There have been four No. 1-type targets who've seen double-digit targets against the 49ers (with Richard Sherman, who's out). They allowed Michael Thomas 11/134/1, Davante Adams 7/43/1, Tyler Boyd 10/122/0, and D.K. Metcalf 6/70/0, so they haven't been impenetrable. The loss of Sherman is massive, as they rely on him heavily in their zone-heavy scheme, and not only that, but nickel cornerback K'Waun Williams suffered a concussion during last week's game. That means Ahkello Witherspoon, Emmanuel Moseley, and D.J. Reed will be asked to step in and start for the 49ers. Witherspoon was considered a bust until this year, Moseley is a second-year former undrafted free agent, while Reed was a fifth-round pick last year who's been burned in the rare occasion he takes the field. You're starting Jones with zero fear about the matchup.
