2. Julio Jones will tally over 100 yards receiving yet again

Julio Jones has once again been the top target for the Falcons on the outside of the field and within the offensive unit so far this season, and he will have a big game once again this weekend in what will likely be an offensive showcase put on display on the road against the Saints.

So far this season, Jones has tallied a total of 712 yards receiving on 50 receptions, hauling in a total of four touchdowns through the air. With an average of 14.2 yards per catch in eight games, he also has a season-long reception of 54 yards for the Falcons.

Through eight contests this year, Jones ranks sixth in the NFL in total yards receiving, also ranking 11th in receptions and fifth in yards per game with 89.0 on average.

In the last three games for Atlanta, Jones has also surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark, a feat he has accomplished a total of four times already in the 2019 campaign.

In the Week 8 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks at home in Atlanta, Jones finished with a season-high 152 yards receiving on a season-most 10 receptions. With an average of 15.2 yards per catch in the game, he recorded a game-long reception of 25 yards although he was ultimately held out of the endzone in the contest.

In what will likely be another offensive showcase against the Saints on Sunday afternoon in Week 10, Jones will once again surpass the 100-yard mark within the Falcons’ passing attack and will lead the Atlanta wide receiving corps in receiving yards once again against one of the top teams in the NFL in New Orleans.
