From the article

Jones's downfall last year came when he stopped being able to handle pressure, which he did extremely well during the first two months of the season. He was dreadful when pressured in Week 1 against Baltimore, averaging less than one yard per attempt while completing 27.3 percent of his passes.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jones' pressure struggles make him unplayable vs. elite Chiefs defense in Week 2.

Jones' downfall last year came when he stopped handling pressure well, and he was dreadful when pressured in Week 1 against Baltimore, averaging less than one yard per attempt while completing 27.3 percent of his passes. The Chiefs' defense just put Bo Nix in a blender with the fourth-highest pressure rate and third-highest quick pressure rate. With the Chiefs on Sunday and Houston in Week 3, fantasy managers are likely waiting until at least Week 4 to start Jones.
