Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion following a hard hit in the second quarter of Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Before taking the hard shot that left him concussed, the 34-year-old veteran caught three passes for just 22 yards. The Eagles are also without top receiver A.J. Brown (knee), so DeVonta Smith, who leads the team with four catches for 100 yards, and tight end Dallas Goedert (three catches for 11 yards and a touchdown) should continue to be a big part of Philly's passing game as they look to come from behind to beat the Bucs. Quez Watkins could also get more involved through the air in the second half. If the Eagles come back and win this game, Jones could be unavailable for the Divisional Round in Detroit against the Lions.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones should see an uptick in targets in Monday's Wild Card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Star wideout A.J. Brown (knee) has been ruled out so the Eagles will need the veteran Jones to step up. The Philadelphia passing game will still heavily revolve around DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert but Jones could be a sneaky DFS play with the aforementioned players commanding the most defensive attention. On the year, Jones has an extremely modest 11 catches (19 targets) for 74 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games. He did haul in two touchdowns on two catches back in Week 16 so he could still be a solid red zone target for QB Jalen Hurts. Quez Watkins should also see some more looks but will likely cost a bit more than Jones in DFS lineups.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones caught two of his four targets for 13 yards in the 27-10 upset loss to the New York Giants on Sunday in the Week 18 regular season finale. Philly's offense looked really bad to close out the regular season in a game in which both quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) and receiver A.J. Brown (knee) were injured. DeVonta Smith (ankle) was inactive, so the Eagles are now rolling into Monday's wild-card contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with questions surrounding their top two receivers. The 34-year-old Jones joined the Eagles midseason and played in 11 games, never catching more than two passes or going for more than 34 receiving yards in a single game. Depending on the health of Brown and Smith for the start of the postseason this weekend, Jones could be looking at an increased role, which could make him worth a look in DFS as a low-cost sleeper.
