Julio Jones Week 13 Outlook - Eagles at Packers

Julio Jones (WR - PHI)

The Falcons are reportedly "hopeful" to get Jones back this week, but there's one thing you need to pay attention to, and that's his practice schedule. If he practices, even limited, he should be good to go. If he doesn't, don't count on him taking the field Sunday. The Saints are not the best matchup to be returning to, as they've been one of the best defenses in the league over the last month. Jones saw two targets on his 22 snaps that he was able to play in Week 11, which led to two receptions for 39 yards, though it's worth noting the Saints were also without Marshon Lattimore for that game. He's the cornerback Jones would see most of in coverage. After a rough start to the season, Lattimore has gotten back on track over his last five games, allowing just 15-of-27 passing for 157 yards, though two of those receptions have gone for touchdowns. Teams seemingly understand the talent in the Saints cornerback unit, as receivers have averaged just 17.9 targets per game, the third-fewest in the NFL. If Jones can suit up, you're playing him as a WR1, albeit a low-end one in this tough matchup.
