Daniel Jones

Although he tore his Achilles in early December, Daniels Jones says he expects to be 100% ready for Week 1 of 2026. Through the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season, Jones looked like an MVP candidate while guiding the Colts to an 8-2 start. He completed 69.9% of his passes over those first 10 games, averaged 8.3 yards per pass attempt, threw 15 TD passes and seven interceptions, and added five rushing touchdowns. Jones was QB5 in fantasy scoring over that stretch. But then Jones fractured his fibula, costing him some mobility and limiting his effectiveness as a passer, before the late-season Achilles tear. It's encouraging that Jones is upbeat about his recovery, but mobility is a big part of his game (both in real life and fantasy), and it's fair to wonder whether Jones will have anything close to his usual mobility. Jones has also been notoriously turnover-prone during his career. Monitor Jones' recovery closely in the run-up to the 2026 season.

Daniel Jones is fully cleared from his torn Achilles and will be a "full go" to begin training camp.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts will begin their training camp on Tuesday, and Jones will be on the field participating in 11-on-11 play on day one. The quarterback suffered a torn Achilles last December and now looks to be on track to be ready to go for Week 1 of this upcoming season, barring any setbacks. Jones is still someone to monitor as the calendar turns to August.
