Julio Jones Week 11 Outlook - Eagles at Browns

It's always a good thing to get an aging wide receiver a week off, especially when he's been dealing with hamstring injuries throughout the year. Jones was hot going into his bye week, totaling 36 targets, 28 receptions, 425 yards, and three touchdowns over the last four games. When targeting Jones, Matt Ryan has a 134.4 QB Rating, which ranks as the highest among any QB/WR duo with more than 35 targets. Now coming off his bye week, Jones should be ready to rock the second half of the season. The Saints have seen just a 52.1 percent target share to the wide receiver position, which ranks as the third lowest in football. Despite seeing the fifth-fewest targets to wide receivers on the year, they've still allowed the 16th-most fantasy points per game, which tells you a lot about the efficiency wide receivers have had. The 9.05 yards per target they've allowed is the fifth-most in the league, which obviously bodes well for the yardage-heavy Jones. He's always in your lineup as a WR1 no matter the matchup and considering Marshon Lattimore (who he'll see most) hasn't been close to a shutdown presence this year, you're not shying away from him.
