Julio Jones Week 7 Outlook - Giants at Eagles

We got to see one of the greatest to ever play return in Week 6 and what a treat it was watching him rack up eight receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns. He looked like he was 100 percent for the first time all season. It was a great matchup against the Vikings last week, and he'll get a similarly good one in Week 7. Wide receivers have seen a massive 65.3 percent target share against the Lions this year, which ranks second to only the Seahawks. With the way the Lions align, it would be Amani Oruwariye matching up against Jones most of the time, a second-year cornerback who's been pretty solid in coverage this year, though he's allowed 14.0 yards per reception in his coverage, which is one of the higher marks in the league. Jones also moves into the slot 26 percent of the time, which is golden for his matchup, as the Lions have been destroyed by slot receivers all year. Look, you're starting Jones as a WR1 every week now that he's proven to be healthy.
