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.

The Colts say Daniel Jones won't do 11-on-11 work at minicamp.

Fantasy Impact

Jones was able to participate in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs. His status will need to continue to be monitored heading into training camp.
