WR – Sterling Shepard

It’s easy to see Shepard’s impact on Jones.

Jones has a passer rating of 85.4 with 4,043 yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 18 games with Shepard in his career. Conversely, Jones has tossed just 11 touchdown passes with Shepard out of the lineup.

That is why it is so vital that Shepard stay healthy.

Shepard suffered turf toe, which kept him out of four games in 2021, one year removed from concussions wreaking havoc on his 2019 campaign.

After dropping Golladay and first-round pick Kadarius Toney into the offense this season, Shepard may see his target-share cut into, but it will be fascinating to see how Jones is impacted should Shepard miss time once again.
