Fantasy Impact:
Jones is set to become the starting quarterback in New England. He has looked excellent throughout the preseason and clearly showed his coaches enough to feel comfortable with him as the starter. New England revamped their pass-catchers this offseason by adding Nelson Agholor, Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry. These additions should give the former Alabama quarterback a much better group of skilled players than what Newton had to work with last season. Unfortunately, the rookie signal-caller offers little to no rushing value, which caps his fantasy value. However, in two-quarterback and Superflex leagues, Jones looks like a competent starter.
