Mac Jones

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be "very surprised" if Mac Jones does not remain on the team in 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Jones is under contract in 2026 after signing a two-year deal ahead of the 2025 season. The only reason he would not be on the team was if the 49ers traded him, which seems unlikely based on Shanahan's comments. With Brock Purdy sidelined, Jones proved to be a premier QB2, going 5-3 with 13 touchdowns while battling his own injuries. He could be a top candidate for a starting job in 2027.

Mac Jones completed 33-of-39 pass attempts for 319 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the 49ers 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Jones continues to turn in great starts with Brock Purdy (toe) still sidelined due to injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan shared after the loss that Purdy could be ready to suit up in Week 11, but fantasy managers will want to wait for an official announcement next week. The 49ers will take on the Cardinals in Week 11.

Mac Jones will remain the 49ers starter on Sunday against the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Brock Purdy is listed as questionable with his status being up in the air to be the backup behind Jones. He should remain a QB2 play.

Mac Jones completed 19-of-24 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers 34-24 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Jones saw another start for the 49ers with Brock Purdy continuing to work his way back from his injury. It was another efficient performance for Jones, particularly in the first half where he tossed both of his touchdowns. He remains a steady QB2 play as long as he is starting.

Mac Jones has been confirmed as the starter for the 49ers on Sunday against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Jones will start again for the 49ers. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy could be available. He will be listed as questionable.
