Fantasy Football
News: 16 hours agoHead coach Shane Steichen said after Sunday's 42-7 loss at Jacksonville that he'll evaluate "everything, including whether" Jones remains the Colts' starting quarterback, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Spin: Jones completed 19 of 28 passes for 144 yards, one touchdown (to WR Josh Downs) and two interceptions while rushing four times for seven yards in Week 8. He also yielded the Colts' final three drives to backup QB Anthony Richardson, who didn't fare much better (2-for-2 passing for eight yards, two rushes for four yards). Sunday's performance marked Jones' fourth (in eight appearances) in which he didn't reach 200 yards passing, and overall he's sitting on a 5:9 TD:INT on the campaign. Indianapolis is in the midst of a fire sale of its active roster, and handing the keys to the offense to Richardson to see how he looks in the second half may be in the cards.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jones re-signed with the Colts during the offseason and will return as the team's starter. The 2019 No. 6 draft pick made a big leap in 2025 -- his first season with Indianapolis -- finishing no lower than seventh in completion percentage and yards per attempt. Despite the strong play, Jones was inconsistent as a fantasy option, averaging 18.8 fantasy points during 12 full games and posting three top-five weeks but no additional finishes better than ninth. Jones was effective through the air and scored five rushing TDs, but he didn't run the ball as much as in years past and might do even less of that in 2026 after tearing an Achilles in Week 14. He's likely to be ready for Week 1, but effectiveness is a concern, so he's best viewed as a midrange QB2.
