Daniel Jones is not in the future plans for the Colts after his tumultuous start to the 2026 season. The source states that with the team clearly looking for a new direction and a rebuild looming, moving on from Jones feels more a question of when rather than if, barring a surprise late-season surge. Cutting Jones post-June 1st, 2027 would save the Colts $38 million in cap space, though releasing him before June 1st would only net $11.6 million in 2027 savings.

PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Jones has been a disaster this season with no games featuring at least 275 passing yards or multiple passing touchdowns, and only one game with more than 15 rushing yards. Among 34 qualifying passers, Jones ranks fourth-fewest in yards per attempt, 12th-lowest in passing success rate, fourth-lowest in catchable target rate, and fifth-highest in off-target rate. He has finished higher than QB22 in weekly scoring only once this season (QB16 last week). Against Jacksonville's seventh-most yards per attempt allowed over the last five games, Jones is rated as a low-end QB2 with limited touchdown upside despite potential yardage.

Daniel Jones finished Week 7 with a 59.1% completion rate, 11% lower than expected given the short throws he was making, continuing a season-long decline in accuracy (CPOE). He has been below league average at nearly every passing depth, with his biggest struggles coming on throws beyond 20 yards. He did not attempt a single pass beyond 20 yards in Week 7, and the source notes 'some of the worst deep throws in the league' for his season overall.

Daniel Jones was forced into a short passing game against Minnesota's #1 Pass Rush Win Rate defense, averaging 5.2 ADOT (down from 11.5 in each of the previous two weeks) and completing passes that averaged only 5.1 yards downfield. He faced four sacks while scrambling only once and throwing away twice, indicating poor decision-making under pressure (29th DRP; 2nd SCK; 2nd AA%). His season-long ADOT of 8th shortest in the league reflects a sustained inability to push the ball downfield.

As of Week 7, Daniel Jones is ranked 30th out of 32 starting QBs for the season in efficiency, a stark reversal from one year prior when he was a top-10 QB in EPA efficiency and success rate. This week he was a bottom-five QB in EPA efficiency with a -0.15 EPA per play, finishing dead last in yards per attempt (32nd AYPA), yards per play (32nd NY/P), and yards per completion (32nd YD/C). His season-long net yards per QB play has declined steadily to 2.6 yards this week, with five of his last seven games finishing in negative EPA territory.

NegativeProjectionOct 27, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
QB28 ranking with career-worst fantasy performance. Averaging 9.2 FPPG this year, below his previous career low of 12.9 FPPG and his 2023 shortened-season average of 9.5 FPPG (six games before injury). Last year averaged 17.3 FPPG. Despite 100% snap counts in every game, Ian Hartitz says Daniel Jones in 2026 is the worst version of himself in fantasy land and pretty much real life that has ever been seen. No improvement expected against the Jaguars.
