No. 3 Julio Jones vs. Tampa Bay

Julio Jones is a lock here. We talked about the Tampa Bay pass defense earlier, it hasn’t changed. Graham Barfield put it best this week when discussing Jones and how often he runs out wide. How those boundary corners stack up? Tell em Graham.

We talked about it before but Julio having not only Calvin Ridley but also Mohamed Sanu is really important. Julio absolutely dominated the Cincinnati Bengals in the loss in Week 4 with 173 yards on nine catches.

Jones has dominated the yards per catch average in his career and is off to the same this season with 16.6 YPC.

I’ll circle back to the Buccaneers defense here. Carlton Davis and Brent Grimes aside, the Tampa Bay defense was decimated before the bye by the Bears. Trubisky threw for six touchdowns and everybody had a great day for Chicago.

Jones should be primed for his best performance this week in an ever important divisional rivalry and a potential losing streak snapper.
