PositiveValueOct 23, 2026
Jones (QB25 in consensus ECR) is preferred over Deshaun Watson (QB17) for Week 7, representing an eight-spot gap in consensus ranking; the source expresses willingness to start Jones despite the Giants' reputation, suggesting Watson's recent performance makes even a lower-ranked alternative more attractive.NegativeMatchupOct 23, 2026
Jones faces a difficult matchup against the Vikings and Brian Flores' defense; Flores' defense operates on another level beyond typical defensive schemes, with strong pass-rush and blitz-pickup capabilities; Jones had poor results the last time he faced Flores.NegativeProjectionOct 10, 2026
The source advises taking the under on Daniel Jones' 31.5 pass attempts against the Steelers. The Steelers' defense has allowed an average of only 28.5 pass attempts per game, and the Giants are expected to lean on Jonathan Taylor in the run game, especially with Jones' center dealing with an injury.NegativeProjectionOct 7, 2026
The source is highly critical of Daniel Jones, describing him as limited and immobile, comparing his movement to a 'plastic mannequin.' He is noted as having the third-worst EPA per dropback this season, and the source questions why the team invested in him coming off an Achilles injury.PositiveMatchupSep 28, 2026

The source expresses significant concern regarding Daniel Jones, describing him as looking like a player coming off an Achilles injury with limited mobility and arm strength. His current performance is viewed as a liability for the Giants' offense.NegativeProjectionSep 25, 2026
There is significant doubt regarding whether Daniel Jones is the same player following the injury he sustained last season.PositiveUsageSep 19, 2026
Daniel Jones is a target for the under on pass attempts.NegativeProjectionSep 19, 2026
Daniel Jones is a five-star under play at 32.5 passing attempts. He has failed to hit this mark in five straight games and has only gone over twice in his last 10 outings.NegativeProjectionSep 12, 2026
A.j. Brown. Like questions what Daniel Jones will look like in his first game back on the field, noting 'yesteryear Daniel Jones vibes' are pushing the game total to where it is.PositiveProjectionSep 1, 2026
Tara is buying into a bounce-back season for Daniel Jones, citing his mobility and ability to utilize his weapons, though she acknowledges it may take a few weeks for him to fully regain his comfort level.NegativeInjuryJul 28, 2026
Pat Fitzmaurice notes that Daniel Jones' injury history is a concern for Tyler Warren's ceiling. Jones fractured his fibula in late November and then tore his Achilles two games later, causing Warren's production to nosedive. Fitzmaurice acknowledges there is a floor scenario if Jones gets hurt again, though he notes Jones won't run as much going forward, which could help Warren get some goal-line carries and short-range touchdown catches.NegativeProjectionJul 23, 2026
Jones' 2025 deep-ball accuracy (hitting first read on 100% of 20+ yard attempts) was anomalous and likely unsustainable; he is recovering from an Achilles injury, which raises concerns about whether he can maintain that efficiency. If his deep-ball accuracy regresses or teams adjust coverage based on his predictable first-read tendencies, receivers like Alec Pierce who benefited from his deep-ball volume will see reduced production.PositiveProjectionJul 3, 2026
Jones is going off the board at QB 25 with suppressed value due to injury and track record concerns, but offers high ceiling upside if healthy. Last year he was a top-five fantasy QB in the first 10 weeks before injury derailed the season. Andrew Erickson frames this as a bet on the Colts offense under Shane Steichen, whom he calls criminally underrated. Jones completed nearly 70% of passes last year (near career high), brings a rushing floor (300+ yards expected over 16 games), and has elite playmakers: Alec Pierce (21 yards per play), Josh Downs, Tyler Warren, and Jonathan Taylor. The offense moves the ball efficiently and puts up points. If Jones plays a full 17 games, he could easily finish inside the top 10 QB, especially with rushing production.NegativeInjuryJul 2, 2026
Coming off Achilles injury with no preseason reps expected; likely to be rusty in Week 1 and may not hit on deep attempts to receivers; the source wants to fade the Colts offense in the high-total Colts-Ravens matchup because of Jones's uncertain health status and expected regression after a historic 2025 pace. Jones has literally no idea what type of state he's going to be in because he's not expected to play at all during the preseason.PositiveInjuryJun 19, 2026
The key question for Jones is whether his injury will affect his running ability, which is tied to his fantasy value. His mobility in training camp and preseason will be a critical storyline to monitor.PositiveProjectionJun 19, 2026
Jones is expected to be a back-end QB1 if things break right, balancing less rushing than his 707-carry season with the Giants with improved passing in the Colts offense.PositiveValueJun 19, 2026
Daniel Jones is a really intriguing value in superflex leagues, going essentially free late in drafts. He can score 250+ points and finish as QB12-13, making him a league-winner if you wait on QB and he stays healthy.PositiveProjectionJun 19, 2026
If Jones is close to 100% running, he doesn't need to be a very good passing quarterback to have value; he can be good in the short to intermediate passing game with help from Tyler Warren and Josh Downs.PositiveValueJun 19, 2026
Daniel Jones was QB5 in the first 10 weeks of last year before injury and is a late-round value pick, especially in superflex leagues, as a second quarterback option.PositiveRoleJun 3, 2026
The speaker notes that if they lose one of their top quarterbacks, Daniel Jones will not be able to make up for that loss, highlighting the risk of waiting on a third quarterback.PositiveProjectionJun 3, 2026
